With Chirpy on this... absolutely embarrassing and another example of English clubs forgetting our own footballing heritage and attempting to hijack European Ultra culture.
What's even more embarrassing is at least Man City were the first to do it over here, it's now been ripped off by a handful of English clubs and Celtic as well!
The original is class and tifo and 100% crowd involvement are amazing spectacles... that are not ours so why can't we accept that!
Poznan doing it great. Italian fans doing the Ultra stuff great. South American fans shooting each other great.
But only because it's original. Unbelievably cringeworthy and plastic when fans copy stuff like this whether it be Man City fans doing the Poznan, Palace doing the Ultra malarky or Millwall hiring a plane to mock rivals a week after it has been done by a tinpot northern club and 2 years after Palce fans mooted it for our relegation.
Thats' what is great usually about football in this country...the originality, wit and off- the- cuffness of it all. All this pre- meidtated, forced displays just suggest to me that there are a lot of modern football "fans" that would probably be more comfortable directing musicals than going to football.
It is rubbish, there is a good vid on youtube of Man City fans singing 'what the f**king hell is that?' at Poznan supporters during a UEFA cup tie, only to be doing it themselves a few weeks later.
Really did look quite tragic when Swansea had a stab last night. Vaguely amusing for City to adopt it after playing the originators but surely it's already old hat. Please don't try one at The Valley. As Rodney observed so well, our football is admired far and wide for its own unique character on and off the field.
If NU tried it, it would only take one to topple backwards bringing the rest with him and into the laps of those in NL. There would be carnage with tartan lap mats and Bovril everywhere.
How about we do a conga all along the stand, going around the NU, and when you sit down you can have a completely new perspective on the game, until we score again at least, then we can all get up and conga some more :-)

I think it is absolutely PATHETIC. I'd rather do a Mexican Wave, and they are really sh1te.

i like it ..... everything starts somewhere and Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
it looks good , better than 15k of deadbeats at charlton sitting down bored senseless
im with the not in my back yard brigade... originality is king with this type of thing!!!
Any ideas?
How about waving some old haddock on a stick when we score?
Ah, the season's finished so it must be time to start picking on ourselves instead of the players eh?
Gonna be a long summer.
Some people have nout better to do.
