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. |  | | |  |

Not a chant either but let's bring back throwing bog rolls when we score. Loved that back in the day. |
Their is an iconic photo of Rodney Marsh on the pitch with toilet roll having been thrown over his head |  | | |

In the early 70s.
Rangers took a large number to Ipswich.
The chant was
Oy cant read
And oy cant write
But oy can drive a tracter. | | | |

Not an R's one but I remember the Gooners signing about Emmanuel Petit: 'He's big. He's quick. His name's a porno flick.' Always raised a smile.
There's a thing on YouTube comparing British terrace chants with US 'Soccer' fans. Absolutely hysterical. Our chants are genuinely funny (not to say brutal) whereas theirs sound like corporate troubleshooting events: 'We belive that we will win!' vs 'Fat granny shagger!' is a classic. |  |
| 'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!' |

A regular ditty to the tune of wandering star by Lee Marvin.
I was born under Loftus road
I was born under Loftus road
Knives are made for stabbing
Guns are made to shoot
If you come down to Loftus road we’re all stick in the boot
Always fascinated where terrace chants tunes originated. Off the top of my head.

They used to sing that one back, changing the words to we are those bastards in claret and blue. | | | |

“We had joy,we had fun,
We had West Ham on the run,
But the joy didn’t last coz the b@stards ran too fast.”
We weren’t singing that in the loft on the night of the 6-1 cup game though. |  | | |

We can’t read

But that doesn’t matter
We come down from Bristol/Swindon/Ipswich/Shrewsbury Town
