We purposely didn't choose to react to the chant video with the cruelest language as it's circulated everywhere and not suitable for our channel. This one was still shocking in it's own right and yet fun too! We hope you enjoy. Don't miss our special announcement at the beginning & end! Please hit the Like button and consider subscribing.

It's funny how with football it's a roll reversal with u guys, Americans are known for being loud, and the British quiet and reserved, until sporting events where we become crazy and you guys become respectful and quiet 😁
Interesting observation! But true. However there are some big exceptions there. 😉❤️
What makes it interesting is the perception of both countries. British are all reserved and don't sing. While Americans are loud and will sing at every opportunity.
So true Sara. I never can get my head around sitting with rival fans. And most of our chants would get you kicked out in the US. And when Americans try to chant, well it's just cringe. "I believe we will win..." Try that at Elland Road and I believe you'll wake up in hospital.
The first on was Leichester City. Jamie Vardy is their star player
@@helvete983 , 🤣🤣🤣
One of my greatest moments was starting a chant at Wembley when my team was at a playoff final. I had a good idea, had enough beer to be confident enough to sing it loudly, and everyone around me joined in. 10 seconds later, 60,000 people have joined in and it echoed around the stadium. Good Times.
Freddie Mercury moment 😉
Queen songs are sung at football matches.
haha 35 odd years ago used to go in Utd road paddock when we could stand up. was a gobby kid who started chants. The tribal buzz you get off doing that and all fans start singing is amazing. suggest to everyone do it at least once:)
@@markunsi437 you can still stand up now
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow This comment by "Brunswick Lord" on here, is very relevant:)
"When watching these songs take into consideration the context. So the German bomber's song was chanted on the steps of a German government/ cultural building in Germany. The IRA song, chanted in Ireland. The sad Sottish ***** song chanted at a Scottish stadium. "...
The Jimmy Saville chants kill me,they are by no means tame! I’ve seen lots of guys from the US say “Poor Jimmy Saville,what’s this guy do?” Comedy gold when they read the comments 🤣
He was a major celebrity in England who had friends in high places including the royal family who got outed as the most prolific paedophille in British history. An utter scum bag.
"I'm England till I die" is based on the theme song of an old sitcom about patients in a hospital "Only when I laugh".
I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm H.A.P.P.Y, classic
The National Anthem one was at a game in France!. The 'You're s hit but your birds are fit' was taunting the Swedish fans ..... 'you're team is rubbish but your women are gorgeous'
Awww thanks for explaining!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow As an alternate, the Irish fans singing "go back to your sexy wives" is also a classic, also in France on a train the Irish fans singing a lullaby to a baby was so sweet.
IIRC the Swedish fan replied with something like go back to your ugly wives. The England fans seemed to take that in good humor
I find it so strange that Americans are shocked by bad language or nudity but, seem ok with mass shootings and violent crimes in general.
"Bird" is a modern version of the old English word "burd" (first coined in the 13th century) meaning "maiden". Over the years its spelling changed from burd to bird because it sounded like the more familiar word, bird, so it ended up being spelled like it too. It's possible that "burd" could also be the result of a 12th-century semantic shift from the Old English word brȳd, meaning bride. "Fit" just means attractive.
They are about to face off with Sweden, so 'Your birds are fit' is a compliment to Swedish women.
Or just say birds means girls.
I always thought it came from Lady bird ie just a shortened version of lady.
@@Rallarbusen They certainly are
Bird means girl like you Americans say chiks
Who's excited about our Surprise Extra Episode on Tuesday???
Looking forward to it.
I can't wait I love all your videos ladies
meeeeeeeeeeeee
Some chants are specifically aimed at a single team and last for years, some chants just get a persons name changed to keep the current, some are spontanious and start with a small group and spread - dont forget the lyrics are pretty simplistic and usually based on a well known tune.
These chants can appear anywhere, before, during or after a game in any venue
Chants become common over time, yes. But bear in mind chants are developed 1) with generally simple words and 2) to commonly known tunes. Seriously, you can pick up most of our chants before you finish hearing it for the first time. That's one of the beauties of them - they sound great (especially if insulting enough) but can be picked up by everyone quickly.
In England/ Britain the national anthems are reserved for special occasions. They are only played at cup finals and national team matches. Historically because members of the royal family would attend.
Got it, thanks!!
Glad to help. The question about tailgating. Traditionally football matches would be at 3pm on a Saturday. Why, because most people worked until 12pm. That gave them 3 hours to get home wash go to the chippy and the pub on the way to the game. People didn't have cars. It's something we still do.
At club level yes, but ALL internationals have anthems.....
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow that and of course the fa cup we get abide with me, great little hymn
Tail gateing has a total different meaning in the UK, and the chanting starts when you wake up on match day stops when you fall asleep or locked up or go to a&e , it's so much fun xxxx
Ok we get it now Birds=Girls! Hope you enjoyed our first time reaction! And don't miss our Special Surprise Tuesday episode! Please hit the Like button and have an amazing day! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
You too have a great rest of your weekend, another amazing great video as always!
Thanks Jeremy! ❤️
This was before the Sweden v England match.... The Swedish fans all chanted back '" go home to your ugly wives " ... beautiful moment 😄
National anthems are sung prior to international games and finals like yesterday's FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea (both teams have German managers) - Liverpool won. Congratulations to Ukraine for winning the Eurovision Song Contest BTW. Thanks for uploading, ladies. 😎😁🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦
Ukrainian flag, you virtue signalling 🤡
i think everyone knew Ukraine would win no matter what, at least its a nice F*ck you to Russia
eurovision 2022 was fixed for ukraine to win, how is a wartorn country able to host? plus it's also illegal to travel to ukraine? at this moment in time?
@@charlieminaj2 it wasn't fixed for them to win, they won it because of the relentless propaganda campaign
The Eurovision voters robbed either the UK or Spain of the victory and continued to prove how corrupt the voting is.
They changed it to make it fairer buy made it worse.
We know what "birds" are now!
Please be respectful in the comments. As we said, we went with this more tame version & didn't react to the other because we just didn't want to! Don't forget the Special announcement at the beginning! Thanks for watching ❤️
You picked the right one girls! The 'other one' has some nasty comments and bad words - which you really don't needt to hear - and is the biggest factor in fathers no longer taking young children to enjoy the game!! Take care and enjoy your Sunday.
the art of chant making does have its main well known ditties everyone is at least vaguely aware of, they are generaly short and easily remembered and copied so picking up a crowd chant isnt hard even when they are spontaniously formed. though ill admit im more of a fan of the more brash versions of chanting. most clubs do have a mainstay chant which are often formed from or around popular songs e.g. liverpools walk alone, west hams i'm forever blowing bubbles etc. and they can have there own historical chants i.e. fields of anfield road, singing of past glories, and the differnce it can make to players on the pitch is quite undeniable when the stadium sings as one. i recomend looking in to these if you want to avoid the more "ahem" adult ones, maybe start with czcams.com/video/GnFOqz41Lcw/video.html
Jill this is one big reason we don't have Chants like that here. We don't use words like that around children. And kids love and attend all games
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow oh they do here as well, but people are much more relaxed about it. they better learn early who the enemies are and how to treat them 😂also just for a better understanding of the level... "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more serious than that." - Bill Shankly
The feeling of when going down Northumberland Street in Newcastle when some start chanting, usually most domestic clubs/squads have their stadiums outside of the places where they are. Isn't the case with NUFC, is honestly amazing. It can either be a group or one person and then it catches on and some like in NUFC's case the Blaydon Races, was written by Geordie Ridley in the think 1860s, was about a fictional accident at a Victorian cart race in Blaydon Gateshead and for some reason the NUFC supporters started chanting it in the ground.
czcams.com/video/iFSdm5y6dps/video.html mostly translated version czcams.com/video/USlNonJUXok/video.html and for the 150th anniversary czcams.com/video/m_Ud6wkYNAs/video.html
NUFC's crest is practically identical to the city's Coat of Arms, with the two seahorses with NUFC's the black and white shield, but the city's coat of arms having the shield in 3 sections with the 3 castles, what one giving Newcastle it's name, the old castle burnt down, was called Pons Aelius Latin for Hadrians Bridge.
Tailgating isn’t a thing here. Stadiums are usually in built up areas. Lots are actually close to residential area, in the case of my team, Newcastle United our Stadium, St James’ Park is in Newcastle City Centre. The culture is pubs and bars before and after games.
Us British honestly are just a different species 😂😂
They need to react to the normal uk ones
Thought these were bad, these are tame 😂
ENGLISH first
Great reactions girlies. Two reasons Argentina aren't liked much, 1, Falklands,2, Maradona who cheated us out of the world cup with a handball into the goal.
The Shirt that That Cheating Rat wore on the day has just been sold at Sotheby`s for $9.28 Million Dollars. It was owned by Steve Hodge.
I dont think its just those two things,, theres a geniune dislike of the argies because of their personalities and they are quite arrogant and they love the dark arts (a footballing term meaning they use underhanded tactics and time wasting). I think theres more of an edge to an Argentina game than even a Germany game, footballing wise that is. Portugal are another, although the Dutch have a bigger dislike of them,, Holland Portugal games always have a lot of needle,, 2006 world cup was a great example 😂.
@@therebel4332 hablando de barras bravas, contame como les fue en el partido del mundial 86 en las tribunas ?
@@cazadorczdr6788 surprised you even know what he’s saying 🤣
there is also their behaviour in the 66 world cup
I love your reactions - and this was no exception! I have been going to football matches since I was a small child (I'm now 61) and football chants have always been a part of the game .... I love them (even when they are a bit risque!!) I lived in the city of Norwich & our local rivals were the town of Ipswich - one of the chants that used to be used against them was "We've got a Cathedral!" .... childish, but funny at the time! Also, if someone had fainted & had to be taken out of the crowd by the Red Cross, the crowd would often make the ambulance siren sounds (nee-naw nee-naw) as the poor volunteers arrived! (not when someone was obviously seriously unwell) .... it's a real cultural experience to go to British football matches!!) 😂
Absolutely!
Not really into football so I didn’t know 99% of these, but they were funny! I did a gig in a club after a World Cup game in July 2021 when England won 4-0, so we played ‘We Are The Champions’ as the last song. That was a very epic moment! See you Tuesday 🙂
I got a laugh out of that one, gotta love the kid in the lift. Most of these are specific to the match baiting the foriegn teams fans. It's a biggest noise competition. You may consider reacting to the unofficial England team anthem " three lions on the shirt ".
National anthems are usually sung at international games. Most of the scens you watched were of England fans on tour. We have a reputation for always having the most travelling fans in every sport we play. Cheers from the UK!
I am biased, but the best anthem is that of Wales...
czcams.com/video/64drY6iXNis/video.html
Eng-Brit here - love your reaction vids - this one was just great!
Some of these take place in fan parks during tournaments, like the world cup. Also this is the England nationall team, you will see people doing this in pubs and other venues when the team plays. There are some videos showing people's reactions.
Loved it as always, Bring on the Tuesday. Coffee time.
I haven't lived in England for 21 years so I've never heard any of those chants, but I'm also not a football fan, but enjoyed your reactions 😉
National anthem is only played before international games, league team’s normally have their own tune played as the player’s get onto the pitch.
Ignore if I've repeated.
1. One will start the song, the next guy joins in then so on.
2. The anthem isn't usually sung, unless it's against another country
Please, please, please do the other video (without watching it first)!!!!!!! The Munster song is hilarious, plus any chants against Adam Johnson are good ones!😀😀😀😀
To answer a couple of your questions and extra info, we have chants in each team that the fans know like liverpool manchester chelsea ect (teams in england including the national team) And yes some chants will happen on the fly when something happens in the game or if something has happened on the news people will chant (this is where the chants usually get spicy) but everyone who hears it joins in and then it spreads. and because england play all over europe a lot of our clips are either in england or wherever the team is playing in europe. For a european game every football player will go and play for their home team (where they were born) to showcase the best players each place has (england, brazil, madrid, germany, italy, egypt ect) which is where the national pride comes from. also yes we have party's in the street like the first clip after a win or before an international game and a lot of the time its outside the stadium just wherever we are. And i did a couple of translations for any americans watching, birds = women, fit = attractive, on the piss = out drinking. hope it helps much love
The chants we make up on the spot so one person will start something and everyone will catch on
Another great reaction video ladies, if you want to see a full stadium singing together try Liverpool FC fans singing "You'll never walk alone" in Melbourne , Australia. It's epic.!
Thanks for mentioning this!!!!
Or booing the national anthem at the F A cup final
@@SausageFingers73 what?? no they didn't. really?
Wait, who booed the national anthem???
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow omg apparently its tradition for scousers to boo the national anthem. I never knew that...and Liverpool were voted "City of culture"
Has anyone suggested the annual Gloucestershire cheese rolling? It's a fun watch! Love the channel ❤️
A million times and no!! That is definitely not something we have any interest in. Sorry! Glad you like our channel, thank you!!
Do people get hurt badly doing that, cos I’ve seen some people look like they land on their necks? I mean I like cheese but not that much 😂😂😂
@@littlemy1773 Apparently not, it's incredible! Not something I would do 😵
Basically, you take any popular melody that every one knows, make something up that's funny and then keep singing it out, if it's good others will join in and it just spreads, if it's a particularly good one it'll stay all night, typically the melodies chosen are from classic songs closely related to football from the past. Sometimes you get like one guy who is like the conductor and basically leads the orchestra haha
Best one I ever heard was when Wigan played Forest Green Rovers (a team with a Vegan policy!). One FGR player was tackled and stayed down on the pitch. The crowd chanted “ That Vegan bastard, he’s eating our grass”. As a supporter of Charlton Athletic, I don’t often have much to celebrate, but at one game I was at, Charlton were playing the top team in the division, and no other team had scored more than one goal against them so far that season. The score got to 5-1 against Charlton, who then scored again, prompting a chant of “Easy, Easy, we want three”!! The best ones are not only funny but spontaneous and unique.
Loved your reaction ladies. Don't take me home was a song all teams at Euro 2016 all teams sang. It was amazing to hear it sang by so many people. Im off to Wembley next Sunday to watch Wrexham play in the FA Trophy Final.
The “Don’t take me home” chant was sung during the England/Iceland game in Euro 2016 (a European tournament) just before Iceland scored the winning goal to everyone’s shock
Great fun watching that with you girls, fair play for giving it a go. :>)
I loved watching this and seeing your reactions. Made me think back to the days when I used to go to football matches. I'm originally from East London and now live in Perth, Western Australia so don't really get the chance to go any more. There are some talented people out there who do indeed make up songs on the spot and get everyone (fellow supporters) to sing in unison, usually having a dig at one of the opposing teams players or manager. Coming from East London usually means that if your into soccer you support either West Ham, Tottenham or Arsenal as they are the nearest teams geographically. Most of my family were a mix of West Ham (Hammers), Tottenham Hotspurs (Spurs) or Arsenal (The Gunners) fans. One of my favourite chants of all time which goes to the tune of 'My Old Man Said Follow The Van' (a true cockney sing-song) has the following words...
My old man said be an Arsenal fan
I said 'F*ck off, bollox you're a c*nt
This can be sung by Spurs supporters to Arsenal fans OR it can be sung to Spurs supporters by Arsenal fans and they just say Tottenham instead of Arsenal.
I like the friendly rivalry and humour when it is all done in the name of fun, not the hooliganism. I've been to some London derby games where things have gotten violent and it is not pretty.
Keep up the great work ladies
I think you missed out Millwall in your East London rivals.
@@juliankaye8143 true, sorry about that, how could I forget Millwall
If you like the national anthem being sung, check out it being sung before the Army v Navy rugby match at Twickenham 😎
And nothing compares to being in the stadium for that!
Best ever.
Need your drinking wellies on for that match 😀🍺😀🍺😀🍺
The spontaneity of chants can vary. A few are very much of the moment. Others are rather generic and simply spread around different clubs, and the national team. The ‘Don’t take me home’ chant was originally sung by Newcastle fans at away games. ‘Vardy’s on fire’ was originally sung by Wigan fans about Will Grigg. ‘Cheer up Gordon Strachan’ is one that’s been adapted loads. Again originally Newcastle fans, in the mid 90s directing it at Peter Reid then manager of Newcastle’s local rivals Sunderland
Rangers fans where the first ones to sing the Strachan version of the song
Us Wigan fans have a new version. Will Keane's on Fire
@@Sierraomega1991 when he was Celtic manager? NUFC were singing it about Peter Reid ten years earlier
It comes from Sunderland fans singing for Peter Reid. ..then next team of fans was Newcastle taking the piss...now every club fans users it to attack there 'enemy'
@@pauljshields123 Aye that’s right. Sunderland fans originally sang it in praise of Peter Reid (I’ve a feeling they may have released it as a single) then Newcastle took it and they were the first to turn it into an insult and then Newcastle’s insult version caught on and was adapted by loads of teams
Because football is the counties main sport really and fans get very passionate and the singing is pretty amazing, most football clubs have thier own songs each teams fans sing.
I've been trying to get football tickets for the last 3 months...the atmosphere is amazing at a live game.
6:20 Birds = girls.
8:09 Normally our chants are songs or hymns that someone’s changed the lyrics too to fit the situation, a majority of people will know the tune and then pick up the changed words.
11:10 I think we do in big games but I don’t think so in smaller games (sorry if I’m wrong)
13:50 this is definitely a tame version because as watchers get progressively more dr#nk they lose there filter and go wild
15:03 there have been lots of fights (but I am unsure if thing have gotten so bad someone’s d!ed) normally you do have to be careful because depending where you are you could get attacked or harmed by the opposite team
15:19 they have to keep them separated because some people are so invested in there team that they would fight anyone who supported a different team and it might become serious quickly, it also help with chants
19:47 actually I think that the chants shown where either in the game or before it eg. ‘I’m England till I die’ and ‘we’re on the p!$$ and we’re having a laugh’
20:27 yes lots of chants and dr!nking going on when your walking there and waiting outside and in car parks
10:40
If you liked that you should check out both Scotland and Welsh fans singing theirs anthems.
In terms of if we sing before games, I believe it depends on the game itself (like the competition). I haven’t watch football in 9 years though haha. In ice hockey over here, we do though. No matter the game.
Love the reaction to this, yep this one was fairly mild compared to some but maybe watch others in your own time, looking forward to tuesday (love the T shirt as well) :)
For international games we do the anthem before every game while the players line up!
Hello ladies, did you know England and The U.S.A are playing each other at this year's world cup in Qatar in december. Maybe you could do a livestream watchalong, I'll get the beers and pizza in 😘
none of the things shown in this video are what you would call too dramatic or offensive, there's a lot worse than that, and certain teams in europe have fan groups known as 'ultras' who take mob violence and football chants to a totally different level, and while it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be here in the UK (for the most part), in certain countries in europe they have some pretty bad reputations, romania is a well known one, there's a few in greece, and several in germany/italy, it's partly due to these old fan groups that used to cause a lot of damage and physical harm to rival fans and such that we have segregated fan areas, and why you will never see a stadium full to capacity with rival fans next to home fans, there's always a set amount of space between fans where no seats are allowed to be sold when it comes to international games, for domestic league games there's a few stadiums where they have set seats for away fans (generally newer stadiums), older stadiums have 'away ends' that are policed by marshals and the police itself on match days to keep fans apart.
We had heard of Ultras but didn't know what that meant
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow while i can't speak to the other nations, in the UK at least back in the 70's/80's you had the 'firms' (a slang term in english for a company/corporation) and while now there might just be one group of 'ultras' for a team, back a few decades ago a single football team might have 3-4 or more 'firms' that would often go to games with the express intent to fight, either with other firms of the same team, or with rival firms, watching the match and supporting the team were secondary, it was all just gang violence and riling people up, if you want a good movie to watch surrounding this type of thing i recommend 'football factory' from 2004, or if you want a more dramatic 'movie' style film then you could also watch 'green street' which stars elijah wood.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow depending on the country, ultras are different, but in most countries, ultras are the extremist faction of a club, often times, the political affiliation of the clubs fan base is expressed through those and yes, no matter how hard officials are trying, politics is a part of football, always was, this is one "chant" that might clarify things a bit, czcams.com/video/-OlSOhkUZYY/video.html
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Great Reaction,as always lovely Ladies.
You could watch "Ultras-Our Way Of Life-10,000 Subscribers" and watch the good side of the fanaticism for European Football (just miss ot the middle segment where it is obviously showing the not so good and then resume at the final part. It's quite an eye opening spectacle.PLEASE watch:)
Argentine fans are pretty hard-core, too.
Really enjoyed this video. Roll on Tuesday 👏
You two are all some you always make me laugh you are a breath of fresh air god bless you both
Bird means girl/woman like chick =bird so the chant Your birds are fit but your football's shit translates to " We find the ladies of your country are rather attractive but alas dear fellows your football seems to be less than perfect.
The England Cricket team fans are called the Barmy Army, you should give them a look, especially when they are touring Australia they have a huge range of songs and chants which are funny and aimed at the Australians or Convicts as we refer to them and the Penal Colony they now inhabit., A lot of these chants are sang at club games with slightly altered lyrics
Mitchell Johnson, he bowls to the left, he bowls to the right etc...
@@w0033944 one of many classic but he did get his revenge
@@davidhoward5392 Sadly, yes. Never been to a match before due to disability, but I do love cricket.
The National Anthem of both teams is played before International matches, within matches in England it is only played in front of the cup final (the equivalent of the superbowl) and not before "normal" matches. A lot of the matches that England play (and that these chants are from) tend to be in the World Cup or European Cup, where it is hosted in one country and fans travel to that country for a couple of weeks, and most will stay for as long as the team are in (dont send me home, ie dont get knocked out of the competition, were on our way to the Moscow - where the final was) .
There are a lot of sort of base chants where the tunes are well known and you can just change the name of the player/team and everyone will know it, there are also some teams that have their own chants because of rivalries (sporting, historic, neighbor) such as Scotland, Germany Argentina, and although we may not play them that often (Scotland, dont always qualify for the competions :D ) they are well known and passed on. The there are those that are brand new, they may be in reaction to what has happened, or the area that the match is in.
England plays its home games at Wembley which is a 90000 seater stadium that doesnt always have the best atmosphere, most of these clips were away matches, and these tend to ahve the more dedicated engaged fans (have to pay for travel accommodations etc so yoiuur not going to get the people whoa re just there to experience it )
tion! Just thought I’d add a bit more info. You mentioned how these seem like away games. Some notable countries seen in this video were away games/tournaments in Germany (multiple cities), Ireland, Scotland, France and South Africa (?). The video of the national anthem was during the 2016 European Championship in France and varying reports estimated between 250,000 and 500,000 England fans went over for the tournament. Also, the German Bombers chant was sung in Germany during the 2006 World Cup hosted there👍🏼
I would prefer as our national anthem land of hope and glory as I would suspect a lot of other British people.
That should be sung more often..great tune
My favorite chant of all time, referenced Bobby Zamora, of Brighton & Hove Albion fame, who developed a habit of spooning the ball into orbit, rather than scoring a sitting goal:
*To the tune of 'Amore'
'If you're in row Z.
And the ball hits your head.
That's Zamora...'
Nah,it’s……
When the ball hits the head of the bloke in row Z……..that’s…..Zamora!
The speed at which a bright (or not so bright) comment becomes a chant is truly awesome to see - it's the sort of reaction a politician would kill for. Tailgating is not a big thing in the UK because the stadiums tend to be in the middle of cities and don't have huge parking lots.
We usually play both countries national anthems during international tournaments before a game, but not normal clubs.
Also football chants are usually just catchy tunes that most people know already, but with words adapted (usually on the fly) for that particular game or reserved for that particular team we're currently playing ((usually hated arch rivals). It's just someone with a big foghorn of a voice and a lot of beer in them that shouts out, and 20 people round him will pick it up and chant, which then expands to 100s more.
the national anthem isn't sung at local games but at international events it is.
When it comes to chants a small group will start it but more people listen laugh then join in
That video was the world cup chants, the first one was pre-game btw as were most of the other street ones.
The actual best football chants are the normal games, one or two of them are a little close to the bone covering certain taboo subjects, if you know the backstories to them they can be amusing but to the average person not so much.
A fair few of the chants are pre rehearsed by a group of fans but there are some that are totally on the fly.
As for the separation of the fans, that is/was a real problem because of the “Firms”(groups of hardcore fans), they used to contact each other before a game to set up a massive brawl which usually involved “Tooling Up”(arming themselves with weapons) one of the worst weapons was the 50pence piece which has 7 edges, 6 of them were filed down as sharp as blades then you would hold it between your thumb and middle finger with your index finger on the flat edge and you would throw it at someone like skipping a stone on a lake.
Sorry if this was too long I got carried away LoL if you really want to know what the football fans used to be like, watch Green Street, Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins) was in it.
I lived in North America for three periods: in Québec for six yrs at med school, in VA for six yrs working in my early 40s, and for three yrs teaching in CA in my early 50s. Without a doubt, the best sports chants in these yrs was among CFL fans in Montréal, and NHL fans in Vancouver and Edmonton.
If we sing the national anthem like that we all stand up as it basically an unwritten rule. Even royalty stands up to salute the Queen.
The ones about not going home and Please don’t take me home are at tournaments so it’s in reference to winning and staying in the tournament. You lose you get knocked out and go home.
Also national anthem is played before international games.
We got that 😉 probably our favorite one!
The German bombers chant was actually filmed at an England away game in Germany. It might have been at the World Cup
When I was in high school my mom had a boyfriend younger than herself who played football for USC. Although not a star he was still in his 20s and loved sports. His big thing was playing Rugby several times a week (with other former football players) so I've followed rugby for over 50 years . Euro. Football and hockey even longer. I love seeing newcomers react to all these sports. If Rugby entertained you watch Austrailian Footy.
That was great, glad you went for the softer chants, I have heard other that wouldn't suit this channel. Luv ya, stay safe.
We will literally chant about anything.
Which is pretty cool
Or anyone.
Humour is chaotic. Its effects are not permanent. It does not require monitoring.
I know this is about English football chants, but a fun one we Scots did was when we played the mighty Italy some years ago. One myth that was turned to reality was that we deep fry anything - even Mars Bars. This urban myth was actually made real, and now the deep fried Mars Bar is hugely popular. Anyway! We were playing them in Italy and we keep singing to them, "Deep fry your pizzas! We're gonna deep fry your pizzas". And now, deep fried pizzas is a thing, and you get it by ordering a "piiza crunch" in Scottish chip shops.😉
tartan army is scotland
Not a big football fan, but enjoyed the reaction! Should for sure check out the Shrovetide Football though, you wont have seen anything like it in the US :)
Trust me it breaks out into fisty cuffs (full on fighting) especially between teams like man utd v man City or Manchester United v liverpool I'm a Manchester Red (United) so the separation of supporters is vital.
Yeah definitely watch the Shrovetide Game. It gives some idea of what medieval street football must have been like 😊
Chants go on throughout the game
The best sounds are when the home fans sing their anthems.
Liverpool You’ll never walk alone, West Ham, I’m forever blowing bubbles. Leeds United, Marching on together.
They are very emotional, the sound from thousands of fans is amazing.
Loved it. The last one I was not aware of. There are other chants out there with a deeper sentiment. Worth checking out if you're happy to do the research.
One person will start a chant and then everyone else will join in x
The term "birds" for young ladies is not as derogatory as some may think. It's the same word as "bride", and in the Middle Ages no one would have confused it with a word for a feathered animal. Different dialects of English transposed the r and i, creating two words out of one as printing came to standardise spelling.
There’s so much for you guys to react to at the minute haha! FA cup final, Sam ryder at Eurovision and the queens platinum jubilee
It's at a football tournament where supporters go abroad and watch matches at a fan zone either at the world cup or European championship
They would just laugh at you if you went in shouting USA USA 🇺🇸
It would be funny tho 😂
Yeah it would be funny 😂😂
The national anthem would have been played at yesterdays FA cup final but not at a normal game.
yeah it's reserved for mostly international games and special occasions like the F.A. cup which is still attended by royalty.
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, it love to see you do a reaction video to the Eurovision Song Contest. It was last Saturday... absolutely bonkers!!! ...you'd love it!!
Great vid ladies, I am a Queen fan too and am off to see Queen and Adam Lambert at the o2 Arena next month. I can’t wait xx
Proud to support England 💪 Come on lads! 🇬🇧
Glad you picked this one. Much easier to watch. As always you were fabulous 👌
Thank you Mary!!
We dont do the anthem before any old game but for international games and cup finals we do
Great video! I’m British and can confirm, these are very tame. Most of the chants you heard are common across the country, but you can vary the words slightly (according to the situation) that’s how everyone can sing along and catch on to the new chant.
With regards to “we’re not going home” that’s not as in we’re not going home to bed, it’s referencing a tournament/ cup in a knockout stage. As in, we’re still in the competition, and we’re not going home (yet!)
These were all quite small groups of people chanting. Usually there’s thousands of people all in unison.
We are also not allowed to sit next to each other due to fights and in the past unfortunately… murders 😢
People pre drink in the streets and in pubs before the game starts. The partying will continue into the night. In World Cup games, it’s not uncommon to see people partying in the streets for 2-3 days after the game.
The football chants do get a bit Jingoistic and toxic. I would recommend checking on the history of football hooliganism to understand the separate stands (the few spoiling it for the many)
Thank you girls/ladies😂❤. But this video is very very very mild😮. There are really good chant videos, like the "funniest" chants. National Anthem is only England vs. another country. ❤
Yes we know as we said in the video and in the comments
The other version is so funny tho 😩
loved this video thank you ladies
Fun videos lady's loving them I'm a Londoner 😊 very interesting to see both your reactions and thoughts 👌🏼👏🏼
Hard to tailgate when theres no parking.... plus the police escort fans away
Singing is global in football (and other sports) with all fans creating offensive, rude and political lyrics. Also, there are many funny songs and chants. Certain rivalries are more virulent than others: Brazil/Argentina, Holland/Germany and so on.
Most chants are based on popular music or rhymes. Once you know the tune you choose to words to fit. Makes it really easy to make up chants
National anthem is only played for internationals, so 10 mins in when the national anthem is played, the reason that is impressive is because England are playing in France Lens stadium, they took over the ground.
Most songs are repeated, and they mostly follow a well known music song, but the ones that are created on that day, usually are to a well known tune, which makes it easier to sing
If you think this is vulgar and hardcore, do NOT watch any chants from the balkans 😂
You should react to American vs British football chants... Cringe! Haha. Keep up the great content 😊
In the UK's national anthem is only played before an International match as is the anthem of the opposition. The only other time it is officially played is before the Cup final or if someone from the Royal family is present in an official capacity.
Hi girls,
Deb from South Wales here,
National anthems are sung mainly at international matches.
