You have to remember, football fans have been doing this for decades. Long before social media was a thing. Word of mouth is a powerful thing though, and chants tend to use popular songs or well-known tunes to help them catch on. So sometimes you only need three people in a crowd to start chanting something before it catches on with people around them and spreads like wildfire.

Yep, in my 50's and what used to happen was chants were created in the pubs then spread on the bus / train going to the game ... well before social media :) As you said just sticking to a few well known tunes made it easier for people to sing along.

Brits are used to mass singing in unison. A lot of us grew up singing hymns in school assemblies and even if you can't sing you'd just try to be as loud and obnoxious as possible just to annoy the teachers. The chants are usually started by a single quick witted and loud fan done to a familiar melody and everyone just sort of joins in. You get similar chants to any mass event with Brits such as festivals.

As ruthless as these are, brits are taught from a pretty young age how to handle ribbing😂

English was historically a very christian country, that's changed alot overtime but still most people born in the uk today who are 20+ grew up learning Hymns in church or at school, most football chants rhythms are derived from the church songs that's why everyone finds the chants easy to pick up and follow.

It’s worth mentioning to our friends across the pond - the Park song - ‘park park wherever he may be, they eat dogs in your home country’ is in reference to one of our own players - Park ji Sung. It is not a slur on him, he was beloved during his time with us - it was just a good excuse to put the spade into the scousers 😬👍

The chants are made up in the pub before a game and during a game too. Some chants are obviously available to all fans to sing, some are specific to a club or topical to that player or club from the newspapers football section. For at least 60 years this has been part of UK football and clubs, players all know at some point they will get a chant about them.

The chants are reasonably simple and are easy to pick up then just spread really quickly. We've been doing them for decades, long before social media, What's App or even cell phones were around.

Us brits live and breathe sarcasm, shape wit, brutal honesty and a good drink lol

I remember being at United's stadium during Park's time at the club, the fans absolutely relished that chant!

It was Man Utd fans singing about Park their own player, he loved the chant!!

The important thing to understand is that everyone is there to enjoy themselves. The singing and ribbing is part of what to expect. Both giving and getting. As you will have noticed, sometimes the songs are self-deprecating. All part of the fun.

These aren't anywhere near the most savage ones 😅

Hundreds of years of chanting since before our jousting tournaments

I love seeing Americans reacting to Ji Sung Parks song for the first time 😅

You just come up with a chant yourself, sing it at a game and it either takes off or doesn’t, this was happening a long time before it was possible to send it out online

The Barmy Army... thousands of chants. Depends on which player retires or pisses them off or loses a goal attempt.. they have a chant for everything and there are no holds barred. My kind of humour as an Aussie this is what I was raised on too.

17 biggest derbies in English football. Shows the fams vs the fans. Fights

You go for pints before the match. Someone in the pub has come up with a chant to a well known tune, he sings it a few times, people learn it and sing along, then the people outside the pub learn it, it spreads.... then someone starts it in the ground, most already know it, everyone learns it as it spreads. Any new chant goes around the ground about 5 times until it reaches full volume. Now we have the technology era they go around Twitter DM's Facebook groups and WhatsApp groups days before the game.

It’s bred into us from an early age it comes natural for everybody to join in 😂 try spending a night out in a British pub and drop a tray of drinks 🤫🤣🤣🤣

At football chanting there’s probably 4 or 5 tunes it’s chanted to, the words are sometimes a common chant for that club, others are made up on the spot and we’re highly timed and trained from a young age to not question the words…just chant them lol so I remember being young in the 80s and my dad taking me to football, at the age of seven I was never allowed to swear…except a football match with dad lol. There were no restrictions, full of dads encouraging sons to join in, the kids being allowed to be kids with no repercussions on language. So when you hear football is big in England, it’s served as a backbone for make relationships. If you’re ever stuck for words, a bit shy, get a mind blank…. Just talk football

Great podcast !!

Most clubs have an established rythm. The words may change but anyone that's somewhat of a fan knows the 'clubculture-rythm' and you just fit the words into the rythm. Someone finds a way, you hear it. Go with him and it catches on like a wildfire in a few seconds.

You should check out the fans down south in Europe. They do not give a shit, if the get relegated and end up in the second or third division. They are loyal to death. And that includes not only football. If it is Real Madrid, Fenerbache, Panathinaikos and so on, they are competing in a lot of other sports, like volleyball, handball and basketball. It is insane.

Yes boiz glad to see you're into FOOTBALL ⚽ !!

First banter is a British thing, we are polite to strangers brutally sarcastic to friends. We have no sacred cows. We are equal opportunity insulters. Sarcasm is inbred. The tunes are known. Then someone calls out a chant that is quickly caught up by the crowd. Think army marching songs or work chants from field workers. Call and response is as old as time. The only people quicker of wit and more creative insulters than the British are the Irish. RECOMMEND you watch the crowd sings Bohemian Rhapsody at the Greenday concert at Hyde Park 2017 to watch a British crowd at its best

Basically most of the chants come up on the spot, if its a new chant one guy will sing it and then the rest will join in.

Them chants start on the terraces and in the pubs pre match or when something worth taking the piss happens . You need to watch some old school 1970s football violence

They make it up as they go

Don’t worry our humour is savage and sarcastic

There's no groups I've ever been to or heard of to make chants together lol, you just go to the games and pick it up pretty quick, although someone must come up with them I guess

Ronaldo is still playing FYI, for Manchester United. They're having a kind of mediocre season so far though & he's been sitting on the bench a fair bit lately.

Chants are made up by the fans, u will notice that a lot of the chants have the same melody and flow these have been around for ever and you just update the words to fit any given situation, fan will usually travel to games in groups on buses and trains and meet in pub before games so one person might have a new chant tell his mates they start singing it if it's good another group will pick it up by the time they get to the match different groups are singing it and then it makes its way around that teams fans, it's kinda our version of rap battling 🤣

Some fan/wit starts singing something in the bar before the game. It either gets ignored, or picked up by others. When they get in the ground the same group will sing it. Again it either gets picked up and hundreds joine in or it falls flat and eventually gets forgot. Away fans hear these chants and either take them back, or not. That's how it spreads. Topical stuff soon disappears as the news does. It is spontaneous, unlike what you see in European games where it is as coordinated as ballet. And remember patrt of any chant there requires a part to be 'sung' in a deep voice - more butch that way. It's mostly working class lads out on the pi ss, having a laugh. My earliest memory was QPR away, Stan Bowles wife had left him the day before, so to the words of a chart song 'Chirpy Chirp....1972 were adapted. 'Where's you missus, far far away". That was 50 years ago.

Please react to Liverpool fans in Australia singing you'll never walk alone
