Coventry at home in 1987 there was a really fat guy at the top of the Holmesdale End, whom was giving it to the Charlton fans in the lower Arthur Waite stand.
The banter was fairly innocuos, until the fat chap ventured to the burger stand, and came back with a 'Selhurst Special' with cheese, onions and lashings of red sauce.
This prompted a raucuos chant of 'Fatty's got a burger' ringing out across the entire Arthur Waite stand.
This seemed to amuse the Coventry fans as much as it did the Charlton mob, poor old fatty however didn't see the funny side, and was soon being dragged away by the constabulary - without his burger!
Nobody seems to have mentioned ‘again, we’ll never play you again...’ sung by some 11k Charlton fans massed in the Arthur wait as we headed back to the premiership and palace were looking like they could go down and out of business. No matter how the fortunes have temporarily turned around in recent years the moment and noise at at that ground was pure joy to be a part of.

Remember that. '' Fatty's getting fatter " was also eloquently directed towards him.
Also at City Ground, Forests own original version of Valley Floyd Road, which incidentally we sung in unison. Weird to hear home and away with essentially the same song.
Forest sing it so much better, they don’t rush through it in 15 seconds

They might last longer, but we'll give you the best 15 seconds of your life 😊

At Anfield in 2007 (final match in the PL) one of the locals in the Anfield main stand (a father with a kid) was getting a bit irate and seemed to be wanted to stage a one man battle with us

When he played Brighton, we alternated signing
"we hate Palace more than you!"
"Stand up if you hate Palace" with all 4 sides on their feet was class.

I always liked the England's number1 England's England's number 1 to David James. I seem to remember the covered end getting to about number 7 before it finished. David James was good value throughout the chant!

As Claus Jensen lobbed him from the halfway line
He's got two yellow cards.
We've got two Sodjes,
He's got two yellow cards.
When we erroneously thought the ref had booked someone twice without sending them off.
Sung to Simon Royce shortly after Shaun Bartlett scored that goal of the season
Even better was the little jig Simon did to acknowledge it - Best bit of fan / player banter I'll ever see
"we hate Palace more than you!"
"You're not fit to be a dad"
Good old Brighton - great club.
Newcastle away.
Charlton fans singing
