Americans React to FUNNIEST ENGLISH FOOTBALL CHANTS Couples Reaction 

The 'fire drill' chant is directed at the opposition's supporters, obviously losing, leaving before full time.

I always loved “He’s big, he’s red, his feet hang off the bed, he’s Peter Crouch”…he’s 6’7” by the way 😂

Gotta admit, the British, and probably other European countries have some amazing atmospheres at games. The chants are so good haha

The "Fire Drill" song is very often sung about 15 or 20 minutes before the end of the game when the home team is losing and their fans start leaving to avoid the crush at the gates or the local station. The fans of the visiting team are often "penned" in their section until 15 or 20 minutes after then end of the match to avoid the two sets of fans meeting in crowded areas where trouble can start. Also, it's considered "disloyal" to leave before the end.

i can hear you saying throughout the video that they had all these chants before hand- about 90% of all chants in english stadiums are made on the spot, and everyone just joins in happily if one person starts singing it!

i love how she called it football and not soccer. Much respect!

The absolute best one is "Let's pretend we scored a goal", that's just genius.

I m Australian and worked in UK as a matchday steward.its louder and more harsh than this. Great craic. A lot of these songs are to the tune of pop songs.

One of the best things about supporting your team (mine is Newcastle United) is going to an away match it is a culture of its own. You drink a brewery on the way down, end up in a pub once to get to the city you are playing in and drink more there, you are with like minded folks, you end up having a laugh with your pals and depending on how drunk you are it can lead to some things happening that will end up on a video that goes on the internet which American people end up reacting to 🤣🤣 then on the way back home (pending how far you go) you drink some more and roll through the front door late at night People can make friends for life from this 🤣🤣🤣 PS the chant about shagging my wife is about a player called Fabricio Coloccini he was one of our best defenders when he played for Newcastle United he even stuck by us when we got relegated and led us to promotion at the first time of asking the following season so he is loved by us for how good he was of a player but also the loyalty he gave.

One of the ones I heard from the away end of Birmingham City vs Cardiff City where the home crowd were largely quiet until they had one chance they missed and finally found their voices, the away fans responded with "We forgot that you were here". 😆

The creativity of your typical British football fan always cracks me up 😁 Just a note for the authors. A lot of chants are made up on the spot by some incredibly witty fan and is picked up by the rest of the crowd if they think it worthy 😀

One of my favourite ever chants that was made up quickly was when my team Plymouth Argyle played QPR (Queens Park Rangers) and they had a player called Marc Bircham who had dyed blue stripes into his hair.... us argyle fans started singing "He's got smurf sh!t in his hair, he's got smurf sh!t in his hair". I think even the player had a laugh about it

The funniest chant I ever saw at a footie match was there were some old bill walking around and the fans sang "we paid for those hats, what a waste of council tax, we paid for those hats"

They don't automatically know all the words, but many years of practice means they can pick up on a good chant very quickly. Love your reactions.

With the Chant you liked so much “If you’re watching on the telly you’re a cünt”; all of the chants follow pretty much the same tunes each time so when a group of people start one chant, it can spread across the stadium in _seconds._ A lot of the Premier League games are broadcast live during the day, the entire stadium is Mic’d up and it’s nigh on impossible to filter out the crowd noise from everything else. An entire stadium singing the exact same thing is very loud and very clear. If you’re watching the football at home, you’ll hear it clear as day…”If you’re watching on the Telly, you’re a cünt!”

There's no coordination or planning. You're born in a city or a borough, you grow up there and you're a fan. You hear the chants you whole life and you sing them every weekend with your mates. It's grown into you. It's a part of you. It's your home. It's sacred.

Is there a fire drill is a response to people leaving early (usually if their team is getting beat)

"Is there a fire drill?" is great with the fans of the losing team leaving the stadium early because they're getting destroyed lol

If it helps, there four main reason for singing Celebration- you've scored a goal, saved a penalty, won a game Self Deprecation- part of British culture and humour to take the piss out of ourselves ("you're nothing special, we lose every week") continually Antagonism- to vent and take the piss out of anything to do with the opposition- their fans, their players, their club, their ground, their manager, their city/town. Anything we don't like about them, we'll let them know. Occasionally we just vent at anything in general (ie Sky TV) Boredom- the game is dull, we're losing heavily so we just have a laugh (ie "there's a plant pot on their head" which I think was Barnsley fans or "lets pretend we scored a goal") Some are spontaneous, some are obvious and some are pre-planned. All part of a day out watching your team.

“Is there a fire drill?” Traditionally sung when the away team is hammering the home team and the home supporters start flooding to the exits. Check out a recent Manchester United 0 Liverpool 5 when the home fans were rushing out as early as half time. (0-4 at the time) Record breaking evacuation. Respect.

Thanks for posting these new chants, most of which I've not seen before. The fans singing "We're being mauled by the Tigers" are actually Leeds fans being sarcastic about the performance of Hull City as Hull's nickname is "The Tigers".

With the "Big Dick" chant, there's a bit of extra context, in that I'm pretty sure that would have been filmed when the team manager was Dick Advocaat, who, being a reasonably rotund fellow was affectionately known as Big Dick by the home fans!

A brand new stadium has just opened up right next to my house, so i hear chants now again especially when they score, 100’s of people walking around in the same clothes and colours, definitely walking across the road when it gets a lot warmer, i don’t even care for football, but when it’s literally outside of your front door you have to go 👍🏻👌🏻🇬🇧🍻🍺

The US lacks chants is because you don't really have ' away fans' in the stadium due to the distances! I tried at a Clevland reds game and finished up on the big screen! 😆

All chants are made up on the spot as a reaction. The loudest or drunkest funny person usually starts off and if the crowd likes it they'll often join in. Some even become classics, but 99 percent are spontaneous.

5:00 There’s a shop in the UK called John Lewis.

You picked up on some stadiums that seemed very tiny, In England they have a tier system so the Best teams are Tier 1 and the further you go down the less money and smaller stadiums, however these are the best supporters and have the best chants, the lower you go the more ruthless it gets. If you can't get to the actual game the next best thing for a good atmosphere is the pub to watch the big games, it's absolutely brilliant until the emotions start and the fighting starts with both sets of fans.

"Small town in Scotland, you're just a small town in Scotland..." chanted by West Ham (London team) to Newcastle fans (Newcastle is a northern English city near the Scottish border)

Liverpool supporters singing "you'll never walk alone"in Brisbane Australia, 85.000 people dining the one tune, even as a Geordie I've gorra give to the scousers on this one. Fun fact, at this match out of the 85.000 people there you will see the bravest man ever, one sole Everton supporter , Liverpool play in red n white, Everton play in blue n white, either this man was either pissed or lost, or both lol, or its one hell of a bet lol., howay the lads, (Newcastle United )

Colochinni is Argentinean and he has seriously curly hair, played for Newcastle... its tradition we love to sing and throw abuse, helped by a few beers

Just found your channel! Love it. By the way, John Lewis is a chain of department stores across the UK.

Check out the video of "He's Eating a Pie", even when we are bored, we will chant about anything.

I love the banter with Man United vs Man City. I'm a United supporter and we usually go for the fact they have no fans or history in our insults towards them as they are infact better than us for quite a long time.

Je-Sung Park, a Korean footballer, inspired this chant … “He shoots! He scores! He’ll eat your Labradors!”

John lewi is a chain of shops in UK

Aw yes...A beautiful example of how the power of man, when co-existing in their natural habitat, can influence and inspire so many around them. Uniting as one, creatively working together in harmony and with perfect order. It brings a tear to my eye...I'm so proud! 🤣😂🤣

I hadn't seen these ones before, great stuff & great reactions !

First time I'm seeing one of your vids, 26 seconds in and already know that you're my kinda people and that I wanna see the previous chant vid(s) you reacted to.

Hibs singing Sunshine in Leath is incredible, come on you STFC robins!

I am British I love my football game and avid fan of my football ⚽️ team it's all about the game the banter traditionally British it's iconic 👏 ❤❤

I used to work at a Premier League stadium back in the day and the atmosphere is incredible! Also worked in pubs on match days! It was brilliant! The tips were amazing and the banter was incredible! My kids have been seen season ticket holders for about 17 years! They’re only 23 now and knew all the chants, much to my disillusionment! Their grandad thought them everything they know 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽️

Balotelli is an absolute star, he's gone around some of the most deprived areas giving away cash. He gave away a Bentley, he gave £1000 to a homeless man, another time he dressed as Santa and drove around giving cash to people on the street. Top level UK players are some of the top earners in any sector, Christiano Ronaldo is reportedly the highest earner making over £500k a week. Balotelli made the headlines by giving back to people. Yes, he's Italian.

you're laugh is contagious🤣🤣🤣 funny as fxxx subscribed

We love taking this piss out of each other good times sad times got ta keep your chin up fella n treacle 👍 THFC🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

u made me laff in stitches jhon Lewis is a type a shop with other shops inside howling 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely fantastic love your videos and love your football jurisey

British humour is gold medal 🏅 standard

just found your channel . love to both of you from the uk x

There's only 2 Andy Gorams is my all time favourite (following his bipolar diagnosis).

They aren't prepared... When entering the stadium we somehow become a hive mind...

The one with the inflatable male appendage is Sunderland fans when Dick Advocaat was our manager. We didn’t just decide to take inflatable body parts to the match…. Edit: And the Geordies stole the Colocinni song from us - originally it was Paolo di Canio and we wanted ‘dirty knees too’ (after a knee slide when we won 3-0 at Newcastle) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D56In0Kvoso.html👌🏻

Man there are some much more ruthless ones out there haha. This was great though

I moved to Sheffield for several months before Covid hit. Up the road a bit, perhaps a ten minute walk or so, was a stadium - I think it was average or smaller, but you knew there was a match on - not because of cars everywhere or the scores of people walking up; it was the noise. That crowd singing I heard from my dorm room lol

Without doubt the best chant was from the west ham fans when they had a hapless forward called Zamora. The chant "if you're sat in row Z and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora" The memory still makes me laugh

i was there at the liverpool spurs game, we got our arses kicked, as always, but the atmosphere was great

I enjoy the self-grilling ones when they're losing. Excellent sporting attitude

To our American cousins - to try to really understand football - think on the late, great, Bill Shankly (manager of Liverpool) - "Football's not a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that".

Lenell John- Lewis is a Grimsby Town player he returned to the club a couple of years ago for a second stint with the club, John Lewis is a department store in Britain. I can’t remember who he is playing for at the time of this video.

This reminds me of the time I was going to the ice hockey games such a great time specially the away games on coach happy days

John Lewis is a famous UK shop chain. Love this video. 😀

The fire drill refers to people leaving games early

I’d love to see you react to “American vs English football chants (funny/cringe)”

I've watched a couple of your vids and you guys are really chill and likeable, keep doing what your doing 👍 Also you look like a guy who is into his sports, if so you might be interested in reacting to a vid about football ultras. These guys take being a football fan to a whole new level and the level of dedication they have is pretty wild. Think there's a vid called "ultras our way of life", check it out if you fancy it.

You seem to be enjoying your selves. It really is that good. Best fans in the world if you want a laugh and take the piss out of each other.

Love that Lenell John Lewis chant, used to play for Bury back in day,

Newcastle and Liverpool fans are the best atmosphere is bouncing you will enjoy your time in both Newcastles night life and Liverpool too 2 best places in the uk

Colocchine was a permed haired Argentinean defender who played for Newcastle, there is another one to the tune of George Michaels " Last Christmas " about the then manager Rafa Benitez

"I'll give you a squeak" Is that the start of a chant lol 😆

But of context to the Balotelli one “Wallet full of cash” He got pulled over by the cops and when asked why he had so much money on his person, he replied “It’s my walking around money” the second one “He’s good at darts” there was a story were he was throwing darts at the academy players at their training complex 😂😂😂

The Collicini one was originally sung at West Ham United back in 2000 about Christian Dailly a Scottish player we had at the time! COYI

I love you 2 hahah, you are great

Dude loving your channel. Just watched one of your Dave Allen reactions. I know you e said the Scottish accent is/can be a problem but check out Billy Connolly. If the accent is a issue he’s newer stuff is probably easier to listen to on the accent front.

To troll a NFL team, they need to put British football fans in the crowd and let them have fun! lol

In England they got a formula so the formula is something recognizable, but then someone can chip in with something, and if it’s catchy enough, people just go with it.

Great reaction guys. I don't know if anyone's mentioned the dick one, but one of those teams has a manager called Dick... My favourite chant has to be after Scottish goalkeeper Andy Goram was diagnosed with schizophrenia, the next match he played in they're chanting "There's only two Andy Goram's". Absolute class that one!

The chants are usually prepared if its a chant about a player saying how good he is, but a lot of these chants are off the cuff

Coloccini is Argentinian defend for Newcastle Utd. The Newcastle fans were singing that in awe of their defender

Most of our songs are based off a song from artist and normally a few people come up with a chant and then after a while it catches on. Well make a song out of anything over here. We love taking the piss out of each other 😂😂

"Is there a fire drill" is in reference to a lot of fans leaving the stadium (probably losing by 3 or 4 goals)

And not a bucket of popcorn, bucket of soda or yard long hotdog in sight.

The 20,000 empty seats chant is being sung by Manchester United fans to are arch rivals Manchester City.

You’ve gotta go to Anfield (LiverpoolFC) if you do come over, it’s legendary. Especially if it’s a European night (champions league)

At Grimsby, home if the mariners, we sing “we piss on your fish”

I always laughed at "it could be worse you could be scouse eating rats in your council house" !!!

the fire drill is for when the other fans are leaving when there team is losing badly

Once one person sings then the other person sings then it just roller-coast to the full crowd starts to sing😊

I was there when the colocini rhyme was being sung

Mauld by the Tigers is sung by Hull fans where i live

Some of these are quite tame, the atmosphere at derbies can be crazy!!. The Manchester derby,North london derby, West ham v Millwall,Birmingham v Villa, Derby v Forest etc...etc... can all get really loud and often need heavy policing! I've been to about 60 premier league games and the chants often come out of nowhere and are quite spontaneous.

this is amazing lol

2:00 They’re Sunderland fans and at the time, their manager was a Dutch guy called Dick Advocaat

I watched my team Plymouth Argyle play Southampton once, and the Southampton (home team) stewards were ordering people to sit down, so thats instantly asking for it. Next thing, ..."Stand up...if you love Argyle,...stand up if you love Argyle!". So all the Plymouth fans are now on their feet😬👍

By the way, We do not prepare chants, one person makes it up, the rest join in. I was at football on Saturday and someone was flicking fingers (putting their middle finger up in case you don't know) and what started? "WHOS THE SLAPPER IN THE CROCS? WHOS THE SLAPPER IN THE CROCS?" football is amazing and I am proud of my country. Also, about lennel john-lewis there is a major British shop company called John lewis

Watch the 17 top English football derbies. Derbies are local rivalries ,and they get to boiling point.

Go to the games that are away games for the fans that you want to hear/ sing with. Away days ARE ALWAYS THE BEST! Even smaller grounds can be absolutely brilliant.

In case your wondering how all the crowd know to sing the same songs in the same way , there are perhaps half a dozen basic chant tunes which underly most songs . So the fans know the music it’s just the words that change . Quite a few come from fan forums , some from literally someone in a pub before the game coming up with words or literally hearing the chant for the first time by a group nearby and because you already know the basic tune being able to join in after first hearing it once… great feeling of inclusivity.. well for your team obviously , clearly not if it’s directed AT you like … “ When your sat in row Z and the ball hits your head.. that’s Zamora!! “ Sang to the Dean Martin tune … that’s amore

The brilliant thing about these songs they sing is they’re based on songs that everyone in the UK knows well, so everyone can pick up on it.

You ever come to the UK you have to go to a match, you'd love it 🙌

If you do visit a team in England, probably best to go in the away end. If you do a home match, go behind the goal for the best atmosphere.

I wonder if there was someone called richard on the pitch at the time. Some are prepared and shared before the game, but most are spontaneous. The addams family one, the team they were singing about was Kidderminster Harriers.
