  • We're just a small team in London - as we are on the way to beating Newcastle in reply to their taunts when season ticket holders had half the Jimmy Seed.
    1 goal went past Perry.
    Deano Deano - to any goalie who kicks out for a throw on.

    I'm totally bored with the Deano thing. It's not quite as bad though as the instant references that crop up as soon as some new striker trips up, misses a sitter or fails to connect with the perfect cross as some humourless wag feels the need to inform everone that they were around when Leaburn was.

    Not sure what that proves.

    1. It's wikepedia so not the most reliable

    2. It say Millwall starting singing "No One likes us" in the 1980s (which I doubt)

    3. Rod Stewart had a hit with "Sailing" in the mid-seventies (1975 I think).

    Lots of teams sing it "We are Tottenham, from the Lane" etc
  • edited June 2008
    So many tunes get one outing a season (and that's normally a drunk old school singsong on the way back from some northern sh*thole), eg. Blackburn 06/07, Scunthorpe last season

    Why does nobody know the words to/want to sing:

    Bertie Mee
    Who's that Team
    Grand old team to play for
    Biddy boy
    etc

    it's not age i tell thee - young'uns manage it!

    I went to Millwall v Charlton Match in the mid 70's and Millwall were signing it then. In my view, it's definitely a Millwall song. I think Spurs picked it up from Millwall when they were in the 2nd Division in 1977.

    1. Wikepedia is more reliable than most people give it credit for. One recent study found it to be no better or worse than The Encyclopaedia Britannica. Where "more learned" publications gain in terms of academic rigour, Wikipedia gains in recency and ability to make speedy corrections.

    2. Ha ha, bang goes my argument above... I think you're right with that.

    3. Yes, so what?

    It doesn't matter if Spurs or anyone else sing it, it's still a Millwall song. Imagine for a moment that you are Les Dennis or the the late great Bob Monkhouse, "We asked 100 football fans to name a Millwall song..." I bet that No-one Likes Us would be top of the list, and perhaps it would even be a list of one. It's a tune tainted by their filth.
  • Yes NOLU is a Millwall song but does that mean that no one else can sing a song to the same tune.

    The Rod Stewart date is relevant as that is when it would have been a chart hit and so adopted on the terraces (as many 70s pop songs were).

    So 75 to early 80s is clearly too long a time for Millwall to pick up on the song but not anyone else.

    So Wiki is no reliable

    Millwall do use the tune

    So do we.

    I Iike it when we sing "We are Charlton, half way line" in the East Stand. Not sure if it carries to the upper north but really gets the east standers going.
  • 3 that haven't been mentioned.

    1. KILLER! KILLER! KILLER!
    2. (sung by a few who went to anfield one midweek game)to the tune of lola.....
    he's not the worlds best looking man,
    but when he scores a goal,
    i wanna suck his glands, lee bowyer,
    la la la lee bowyer.
    3. the annual slating of a certain grimsby goalkeeper.....
    who's the poof* in the green and black,
    nigel nigel batch.


    *not meant to start a homophobia debate, the same way we were never really accusing derek hales of murder and i really don't wanna suck lee bowyers glands.

  • Hate applauding ourselves after a rendition of VFR
    Speak for yourself. The effort I put into that song deserves an applause. 
  • Not quite the same thing, but a friend once text me a birthday rap. I still remember most of it, and a good challenge is seeing if you can adapt it to the current team. As you can see, he had a thing for Basey, didn’t like Shelvey and liked the idea of giving strikers signed from non-league a go.

    Happy Birthday bitch, here’s an Addicks rap
    We love those guys, even though they’re crap
    We’ve got Dailly, Llera, Richardson and Basey
    Make the latter captain and the fans go crazy!

    Racon and Bailey in the engine room
    When Therry shoots from 20 watch the net go boom
    Lloyd Sam is in heaven now he’s got the 11
    And why the fuck has baldie still got number 7!

    (can’t remember what if anything I’ve missed)
    …up front play Dickson and Fleetwood, and watch League 1 try to stop ‘em! (possibly ended with boom!!)
  • I did quite enjoy our response of ‘You have to live here, we get to go home’ -

    to Wrexham singing ‘You’ve seen the circus, now f*ck off home’

    Love - 

    Valley Floyd Road - sung correctly and at the right pace

    We are the Charlton / King's of the South

    We all follow the Charlton / Over land and sea

    Build a bonfire 

    (Insert managers name) Red Army

    Special mentions currently to: Godden again and TC Samba Rhythm.

    Hate/loathe/despise - 

    VFR sang quickly and frequently. Should be sung three times tops, before kick off, second half kick off, and after full time 

    We are Charlton - Millwall song, only sing it to make noise 

    C-A-F-C, we hate Millwall - just not a fan 

    Allez allez allez - not sure anymore, loved it for the Bowyer season, not a lot of people know how to sing the Nathan Jones part and just mumble for most part it sounds.

    South London is wonderful - love the chant, but it's lost its purpose. South London isn't wonderful, it's a fkn shit hole and riddled with crime. Great chant still.

    Grumpy moan. Would love some new chants. I like the Lloyd Jones chant, love Goddens, love TCs, like Coventrys as well.

    Has this ever happened, or do you just have a furtive imagination?

    Goodbye Horse is my favourite. Love the randomness of it.

    I don't like Shall We Sing A Song For You? It always seems to be asking for trouble, goading opposing fans to sing up more.

    It's definitely happened. Obviously not at the pacing of how Forest sing it, but we've rushed through it many of times.

    Your main chant is meant to be done slowly and proudly. It's your clubs anthem, not just some generic chant.
