May I take this opportunity to thank those in the SAR who enhanced a very enjoyable evening at the Caraboa cup game with their rendition of ‘Luton Town, W*nk-W*nk-W*nk’ whenever there was a lull in the game.
Haven’t heard that one since circa 1974, and there were certainly some puzzled faces as it took off.
Quite addictive too, waiting this morning on an automated call found myself mumbling it away to myself.
As I’d have said, if I’d ever have been arsed to write into Points of View, More please.
I’m all in favour of the introduction of inane retro chanting when things get quiet. |  | | |  |

They were a few rows behind me, if I am honest, I thought by the end of the game it sounded pretty embarrassing. Funny (ish) the first time, but when ended with (what sounded like) three people chanting it I was out!!!!!
I like the way you put 'as it took off' - I am not sure it ever did  |  | | |

A young woman enjoyed starting it. Enthusiastically supported and extended by some older faces and I guess their kids in the back row. |  | | |

Agree with all of that - it's been stuck in my head ever since! |  | | |

How about a few chants of “You’re gonna get your f ucking heads kicked in” for when we concede a goal? |  | | |

Bring back the old "Whooooooooooooah AaaaaaH! You're sh*t! Aaaaaah!" When the keeper takes a goal kick. |  | | |

Everyone else does that now anyway. | | | |

Used to love the simple "RANGERS - clap clap clap" roar in the early /mid 70's mostly because the seated stands would join in & not just the Loft terrace .
Understand this would probably not be popular now as it fails to slag off the opposition & served only to get right behind the team , oh wait a minute....... | | | |

Surely the w*nk w*nk song was owned by the late England midfielder Alan Ball? Remember him getting it at full volume every time at HQ in the 70's 🤣 | | | |

A personal favourite
And yes, I do need to grow up! |  | | |

Our songbook repertoire would be greatly increased if Jose Mourinho were to return to Chelsea, whereupon his sexual identity could be revealed to all and sundry. |  |

I'd like to see the 'northern scum' song used more on anyone even slightly north, thus questioning the parental origins of people in Watford, Luton, Oxford and Norwich (again). [Post edited 29 Aug 15:50]

"You're going home in a fvcking ambulance". |
"There won't be many going home
If there's any,
There won't be many going home"
The standout for me was in welcoming the goalkeeper to the Loft End. At every ground they were applauded, but we greeted them with
F*
FU*
FUC*
F*** OFF
We were a very friendly crowd in the 60's! | | | |

"You're going home in a fvcking ambulance". |
Always had a bit of a logic problem with that one as typically an ambulance will take you to hospital, not home. |  |

For some reason, I especially used to enjoy the song about Arsene Wenger's bag of sweets, his cheeky little smile, and propensity for child love. That would probably get you a life-time ban now, plus a law suit for slander. Even though what makes it funny is that it's so egregiously untrue about a clearly nice man, and hence if anything reputation-enhancing, ironically.
That's the modern world for you! You just can't have 'a little bit of fun' any more! [Post edited 29 Aug 21:22]

My old man used to like 'you've/come/all this way/and you've lost/and you've lost' directed at away teams with nul points. Which was really just a statement of fact, if you think about it. | |

I'm a bit older - I remember “prithee referee, award us an indirect free kick, there's a good chap” |  | | |

I remember 'You're Welsh and you know you are.'
We were playing Bristol City.
I was never sure if it was ignorance or some kind of irony. | | | |

And again, how many people are Welsh but don't know they are? That would be quite an achievement - even for the Welsh! | |

"You're going home in a fvcking ambulance". |
I actually liked the first line of that song more. “There’s going to be a nasty accident”. Lyrically it sets itself apart from the following 2 lines by not using swearing, instead using subtle menace. A lovely touch.
They really don’t write them like they used to. |  | | |

Not chanting but I can remember Wrexham fans being greeted with someone shouting Get back down the f*cking mines ! despite Wrexham being miles from the nearest coalfield! | | | |

Not a chant either but let's bring back throwing bog rolls when we score. Loved that back in the day. |  | | |
