Swing low makes me cringe as does "We won it two times" and "we are passing the ball" The only time the latter should be sung is at Palace Delilah should be sung on special occasions and not v Walsall in the league cup 2nd round How very disrespectful that'd be to sing it at palace or to even sing it at all. Still, I suppose morals and wankstains shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. +1 To sing any kind on Anti-Pulis song such as passing the ball and we're not boring anymore at Palace, is nothing short of disrespectful and not 'banter'. There's only one TP should be sung out loud. Followed by Mark Hughes Barmy Army. Sadly there are too many fuckwit supporters for this to happen. |

I'm not for taking the piss, especially as I think we might struggle there and we'd look like a right bunch of twats singing 'we're passing the ball' if we've been dicked off set pieces or something. But I'm not singing songs for the Palace manager, not one bit. |

Ain't nothing wrong with 'We are the people' or 'Delilah' if sung at right speed and by EVERYBODY!
Maybe this designated singers' area is a good idea?
To be honest, the only songs I find cringeworthy and refuse to sing are the vile songs aimed at an individual opposition player regarding his parents/girlfriend/parents/private life......................makes us sound very cheap.
When I first started at the Vic, it was all about 'Land of Smoke and Glory', whatever happened to that gem?

To show him respect he deserves. He went without any announcement during the season resulting in not allowing people to give him a decent send off he deserves.
Not saying that wasn't correct, just the way it happened.

We have a real lack of fun chants for our players - Kenwyne has the best chant, everyone knows it, it's a bit different, and it contains more than three words
- Huth has a good collection
- Shawcross' is very boring
- Walters, again, not unique in any way
- Arnautovic has the most unimaginative ARNIE ARNIE
- Same for BEGO BEGO
- Cameron has the cringeworthy USA USA
- N'zonzi's is decent but not original
- Adam's is okay
- 'If Wilko scores' is a tad better than WILKO WILKO
- Nothing for Assaidi
- Nothing for Whelan
- Nothing for Pieters
- Nothing for Palacios
- Nothing for Ireland
- Nothing for Crouch
- Nothing for Muniesa
- Nothing for Wilson
- Ethers and Pennant have decent songs but never play
For me, the best chants are songs for the team and songs that take the piss out of the opposition. If we can't think of anything to sing about the opposition, we need something to fall back on and our material seems so limited. Tuncay, Abdoulaye, Mama and Fuller's songs were all brilliant and a bit different from the norm.

Until someone who is from stoke, Midlands England writes a more catchier tune for us to sing then Delilah it is. Let's scrap every song which does not fit this bracket. Slash is from Stoke. "Take me down to watch Stoke City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty, Take me to Stoke" Other than that I can only think of Tony Hatch, Lemmy or Discharge. Can't see the theme from 'Neighbours' going down well and as most of our songs get sung too quickly anyway versions of Motorhead or hardcore punk classics may be difficult to master. PS: I refuse to consider anything by Blobbie Williams on account of him being a Chelsea/Rangers/Fail/anywhere there's a photographer fan. |

Maybe start with a rendition of 'In the Birmingham slums, in the Birmingham slums,they look in a dustbin for something to eat etc etc....
Haven't heard that for ages. I confess I live overseas now, having had a season ticket for years at the old Vic. I watch all the games live and can't believe the lack of songs. Anyway, getting into England on Monday and going to the Everton game in the Boothen. Hope the singing has improved.
Bring back some standing areas that's what I say. It increases your energy and helps with belting songs out.

Fan repertoire is shit these days compared to 20 years ago predominantly because everyone frowns at anything to do with violence.
We've been in December for 3 weeks and I've heard no Christmas songs yet either???
