The funniest chant I've heard requires a little background to explain - so, there's a common (usually) positive chant that goes "There's only one [insert player name here]" and when a player called Andy Goram was diagnosed with schizophrenia the chant was remixed to "There's only two Andy Gorams". Absolute belter.

Adam Johnson was a top millionaire footballer that played for England that seemingly had it all but got caught grooming a 14 year old girl and spent time in jail.

You guys in other countries may think this is brutal, but it's all taken in good fun. During the pandemic. Football was played without spectators due to social distancing. The players complained they couldn't play as well without the fans. So they played football chants through speakers to give the grounds a more familiar atmosphere! 😂

Boris Johnson was the prime minister of the UK, the man was filming the security guard who looks a lot like Boris.

You should go into a pub in with a bunch of Brits. The way we rip into each other is brutal, but its never with spite. There's a reason brits are great at getting through dark times, pure gallows humour.

British banter we love the terrace songs part of the day out at the game we love to take the piss.

Jimmy Savile was a famous DJ working at BBC, presenter of the famous UK Top of the Pop which was like Dick Clark's American Bandstand. He turned out to be a paedophile vicitmizing hundred of young girls, but was never convicted as most of the evidence was exposed after he died. Adam Johnson was a good UK professional footballer but was found out to be a paedophile with a 15 year old teenager. Sentenced to 6 years in prison but released after 3 years. He was in England's U1, U21 and Senior Team, played in the 2010 World Cup. Thus, a very good footballer that got his career ended with the jail sentence. Tried to paly abroad after prison release but I see no record of that.

If someone hasn’t explained the meaning behind the chants you should definitely look up some of the names from the video and you’ll understand why they’re being chanted

The other side of our crowd singing watch 64, 000 people sing in unison GREENDAY CROWD SING BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY AT HYDE PARK.....or any LAST NIGHT OF THE PROMS. .. so fyi we are generally very polite to strangers, might even apologise to you if you stand on our foot. I once saw someone else apologise to a paving slab for tripping up and look round embarrassed to see if anyone noticed. However for our friends of long standing we can dream up the most foul derogatory slurs. It's a sign of deep love and funniest when spoken in a very upper class accent. I once saw an extremely well dressed woman in her 60s say to another older woman in Chanel and pearls " come on you tired old slapper( woman of lose morals and possibly questionable occupation) let me give you a hug you have had a hard day. So I understood by that they were probably best friends.

Hooliganism literally caused alot of the clubs to be banned from UEFA tournaments. The last club to be banned is Lazio and it was quite recent. Basically the morning of the Europa Cup match between Liverpool and Lazio at Anfield, 3 Lazio fans from Italy brutally attacked and stabbed a young Liverpool fan near the vicinity of Anfield just because he was wearing a Liverpool shirt. So the Kop, knowing they cannot retaliate without LFC being punished with sanctions or possibly bans, instead chanted all sorts of vile and derogatory insults about Italians.

You may not get it but when we take the piss out of each other it is fun even if you are the butt of the joke as long as you don’t take yourself too seriously. This starts in school now they call it bullying but it really isn’t there’s a fine line.

That doesn't mean they are not drunk. We literally drank several pints at a pub before heading to the stadium.

'League One Tour'...unlike US sports, football teams that finish at the top of a league get promoted to the next higher tier and teams that finish at the bottom get relegated to a lower tier league. How many depends on the league and country...usually top/bottom 2 or 3 go up/down....so there's actual consequences at stake. There's no getting first choice of best players in a draft system if you end up coming last...you're just out of the league and consequently there's some hefty financial incentives or penalties that come with that. Higher tier means there's more money involved from TV rights and vice versa. Dropping down the league also typically results in lower attendance at games...thus even less money...thus can't afford to pay or buy better players...so it's a slippery slope. There's no languishing in the same league no matter if you are rooted to the bottom for all eternity. That chant, whatever team it was...the context is that they're saying they've been relegated out of the Championship (second tier of English football...with Premier being the highest)...and they'll be playing next season in 'League One' (hence going on a league one tour) but they're saying they hope to go straight back up by winning promotion the following season. 'We're going down, but straight back up'. No idea if they did or not, but that's pretty typical British self-deprecating humour.

Oh gosh, your joy at our humour is adorable 😂

Dude, that security guy in yellow resembled Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of UK.

Football is a way of life here like American sports are there but we don't give a shit in how we express ourselves as almost anything goes. Every player on the pitch has their own song, the opposition goalkeeper always gets abuse, chants are usually easy to follow and we don't give a ####

British humour is about ripping people. We love it.

Boris Johnson is the former Prime Minister of the UK - The security guard looked a bit like him ;) Also: Quid - slang term for a pound sterling (think „bucks“ for dollars)

Your reaction to just the first one was really funny. Hang on a minute, what am I hearing? There's no way I'm hearing that. Um, ok I'll, check the- HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WHAT IS HAPPENING??? Enjoyed all of it - nice reaction mate. Adam Johnson totally deserved it. Sunderland fans were really angry that the club had allowed him to play 28 games after he'd been arrested and was on bail (i think you say bond in the US). He was suspended for two games immediately after the initial arrest, but then they allowed him to play for the next 11 months. They only dropped him from the team one day after he had pled guilty, in court, to two of the four charges. The fans felt that he had made them all look bad, and had shamed their name. Johnson claimed under oath that he had admitted what he had done to the CEO of the club. Whether this is true or not, I'm not sure. This could easily just have been something he said to damage the club. In any case, she resigned, and the club apologised profusely to the victim. That poor kid had to deal with her abuser being allowed to play, and her being called a liar, for 11 months.

Never let it be said that football fans are mature discerning individuals

We bring a lot to a game because its not a fuckin' brain dead franchise. Relegation and Promotion. Every game has stakes.

Who told you American fans have funny chants?

At Watford we had a player called Stevie Palmer who got done for smoking marijuana. There was a song along the lines of Walking in a Winter Land...'Thers's only one Stevie Palmer and he smokes marijuana, walking along smoking a bong, walking in a Palmer wonderland'.

Just today ,a man was prosecuted for something he did to wind up the opponents ,which he thought would be applauded but was seen as in disgraceful bad taste .The other football side had a little boy aged 6 as a mascot ,who was dying of an incurable cancer .He particularly loved one member of the team ,was invited to be their mascot and made some personal appearances with the Team at matches .This idiot found a photo of the boy on his phone and held it up to taunt the fans of the other side .However ,his picture was taken ,he was reported to the Police and prosecuted and found guilty .His excuse was that he had taken a lot of cocaine!

We do have lines, of course - that's important to note. Some things really really shouldn't be said, whether the fans think it's in fun or not. At least one player has asked the fans for a specific chant to be retired. Not because he was personally upset by it, he said, but because he was concerned that some fans would feel unwelcome, and that also kids would think it was OK to say to each other. It's difficult to educate kids about not being hurtful when somebody they may look up to appears to be accepting of it.

To be fair, Kidderminster Harriers (Kiddie) set themselves up for it by calling their supporters the Kiddie Family. Works especially well against Norwich and Ipswich.

Adam Johnson was charged with sexual assault of a teenage girl at the club he used to play for Sunderland FC. He doesn’t play football anymore. Jimmy Saville wasn’t a player he was a Children’s Tv presenter who sexually assaulted kids at the BBC Tv studios, as well as sexually assaulted children at two Children’s Hospitals. Quit is a slang term for a Pound. So what a waste of 40 quid, what a waste of 40 Pounds. The guy in the yellow coat who is a steward looks like Britain’s ex Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

How can they say that? Don t know if you it excist in the Us but it s call freedom of speach

Americans will never understand us British. We are a nation who does not care and just has a laugh. Football in the UK is one of the best experiences in the sporting world. Need to understand British History to understand most of the chants. It's all a laugh. (Most of the time)
