family wheels on the bus your support is f........ we sent the palace down (ok the 1st season afterwards, but not now we are in the championship with them) build a bonfire.
love
VFR Red Army (esp after we've scored away) south london 9 goals went past perry bouncy bouncy ( great when theres about 100 fans in the away end midweek, ala cardiff last season)
Sorry it's taken me 17 years to reply and thank you for the love.
Is that all you take away? Honestly they could be hanging off the roof and hosting a takeover of the flats behind the Jimmy Seed and we would still sing it.
You only sing when you’re winning. Yeah well they are still winning which is the whole point of football.
Family song. Sung at everybody now making it even less funny. We could play Welling where a tonne of our fanbase live and would still sing The Welling Family.
i hate that ‘oh south london…’ song. It’s an embarrassment and a song for pre-pubescent boys to sing, hence why they sing it at Palace. If the little kiddies and upper north virgins at charlton want to sing a song there are plenty of others to choose from or fuck off to Selhurst park and join the numpties there.
the other one I hate is ‘stand up if you love Charlton’ - FFS, it’s a fucking insult to every Charlton fan that’s been supporting the club for years/decades, that probably continued to support them during the wilderness years, the old 3rd division, the nearly going out of business completely, the ‘iffy’ ownerships and frequent managers of unwatchable football.
Have a love/hate relationship with “every Saturday we follow”.
It seems to get the crowd going, but it felt like it worked best during that 2018/19 period.
Now we’ve sung it with about 5 different managers names shoehorned in there, and nobody quite knowing the words to the “Nathan Jones” bit has made it feel a bit awkward

💯 agree. The oh south London song is a massive embarrassment not to mention misogynistic. Got pelters on here for suggesting this before though so it seems that plenty of grown men still feel the need to sing about tits arse and Fanny.
The Adams Family one is also really cringey to me.
Charlton boys making all the noise feels like it should be saved for away days

Red Army Allez Allez has grown on me but agree everyone needs to agree the NJ line! Love the TC song mainly because my 6 year old daughter sings it round the house
VFR is my favourite, just wish it was sung at a slower pace and the clapping is really weird
Been said a lot already but your support and is that all you take away sung at tiny northern teams on a miserable 7.45pm winter game on a Tuesday night is just insane to me. High ticket prices, ridiculous cost of travel and eating and there probably won't be any trains by the final whistle so you're likely driving back 3 or 4+ hours before having to go into work on Wednesday morning. It's incredible anyone turns up at all frankly

Add in we are singing it to the wrong people. They're the heroes who have bothered to turn up to support their team. It's those at home who should be copping it.
We are Charlton from the Valley ✅️ Charlton! Charlton! Charlton! ✅️ Give me a Ceeeee...who's going up...? ✅️ Come on you reds (at a corner.) ✅️ Valley Floyd Road without the bizarre round of applause ✅️ [Manager's name] red n white army ✅️

Agree with the above especially Fleetwood who have amazing fans if only a couple of hundred (on a good night) at the Valley. It always about the quality of fans not the quantity but obviously in CAFC case we needed to show that we have the fan base who will show up if the team are on an upward curve.
We should be a Championship club but no divine right and hopefully by this time tomorrow we are very near to this goal as every player including subs put in a performance and we get the rub of the green and VAR doesn't screw Cafc over.

I always wish we'd had a proper club song written for us back in the day. Something like spirit of the blues, or even let 'em come. Those old ones are mint when everyone gets going
I do think we under-utilise VFR a bit, I have a grand vision of our first game back in the top tier being preceded by a rendition of it with 25k voices and bag pipes... to then lose 6 nil to Liverpool
1. Charlton, nice and slowly to Amazing Grace
2. Grand old team to play for
3. VFR
4. Hark now, wherever you may be
5. Goodbye Horse
Hate 5
1. Wheels on the bus
2. cafc cafc cafc cafc cafc cafc
3 der der der der der der der der der Charlton
4. der der de der da der der der der Charlton
5. Throw it back !
Sad that 2 of my top 5 have dropped completely off the scene in the 17 years since. Goodbye Horse gets an occasional outing, and good to see Chaaaaarlton (Amazing Grace) get a couple of decent efforts again lately.

VFR
Is this a fire drill or we can see you sneaking out..as the away crowd shuffle away with 15mins left
Roland Roland your a c£?t…

Ya Sister is ya…
We are the j block, we are the whatever block…seems to go on forever sometimes

It's the hope which may kill us.

VFR sung slowly - If feeling courageous I'll try this tomorrow
We all agree, Charlton Athletic are magic
Allez Allez sung with 'and now we've got the nutter' or 'with Nathan Jones, our nutter.'
Give us a 'C', 'H' etc. I did this at the 2019 play off final with a decent take up so might well try again tomorrow.
oooooh, Jimmy Jimmy - Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Melrose
Hate
VFR sung at 999 rpm
That stupid 'Amarillo' 2005 nonsense
Sway song
Any song that insults the opposition fans ('Build a bonfire' being the exception)
