Thread Name: football songs are they folk or traditional songs
Subject: RE: football songs are they folk or traditional so
Well i think the one Richard refers to was deleted because of the poster who had several posts remove rather than the content. Like it or not, "Your goining get your fu**ing head kicked in" is a famiiar chant to many and is part of (ok an undesirable yob/thug part) our football heritage.

I'd like to think this sort of chant is on the way out though. The only club I know a little bit about is Norwich who have made efforts to become more "family orientated". I believe a "song" "who the fu**ing hell are you?" can be heard in a small area of the Barclay stand known as the Snake Pit but I believe much has been pretty well cut out.

Anyway, back to songs. One of the best known surely must be the one to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory, clubs of choice of course but:

We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too
We hate Manchester United
But Norwich we love you.
