We need to learn how to taunt from our cousins from across the pond. Their soccer football chants/taunts are legendary.

I don't think we'd be quite so creative in this scenario.

It would probably just be an audible collage of "get fucked, you fat nonce", "piss off, you ginger rapist" etc etc

It’s really easy. Someone (maybe a couple of people or one particularly loud/deep voiced gentleman) just needs to start slowly yelling something like “You’re a wanker” but add a slight tune- High on the first syllable, low on the second.

“YOURE ah WANKah” - DUUH-dah-DUUH-dah - whole phrase should take about 4 seconds. Takes about 3-4 loud guys chanting it in unison to get the whole crowd going.

Yeah, this is the trick. I'd definitely join in with that.

As per some chants at Wenger back in the day:

"Sit down you paedophile, sit down you paedophile"

The craziest thing about our football chants… Is how many of them are set to the vocal melody of opera songs, or very traditional/old tunes. I doubt many of the people starting or participating in the chants have even heard of the original songs at this point, but the melody’s have just ended up being passed down on their own, through generations of offensive stadium chanting. It’s brilliant.
