Inspired by the Clown and I discussing Hibernian and 'Sunshine On Leith' in another thread:
A thread for the best chants/songs/moments in football fandom.
Here's Bimingham staying up at Bolton:

My ex was a Birmingham City fan so I saw quite a lot of their games up here 2000-2005ish. Very humorous bunch, unlike the ex. They were mental to be fair. Our lot are like kindergarten wannabees.

This. The timing of the goals is crucial. 5 minutes of utter despair to sheer joy.

From, 'here we go again', to 'what the fuck just happened' in such a short space of time was mental. When Hanson scored I was screaming at the roof of the stand. Fucking Leeds.

Two things about that game:
1. Murphy, what a fucking tit. 2. Meredith got MOM that game but I thought Knott ran the show. That was when I though Knott might just make it but he never played that well again.

Same. Knott was brilliant that night even without the brilliant goal.

It's those games you remember when its like script has been written for the occasion. Some of Parkinsons cup games were like that. Here's the obvious one Look out at 7:23 for a good looking fat bald lad in a city shirt who has previous for hugging people .

Great goal from Billy "theres a player there somewhere" Knott. As a player you should always dread having that description from fans. It means you're crap.

The Leeds game and another that I can't remember where he bossed the game. You just hope that as he matures he has more of those types of games but it just didn't happen for the lad. He had an annoying habit of going for the Hollywood ball when the ten yard pass was the better option. I see his Mrs has left him as soon as he hit non league. Women are live-in mercenaries and lookers like that won't be hanging around when he's driving a forklift in a warehouse during the week and turning out for Dulwich Hamlet at the weekend. He needs to find himself a nice Boots counter girl now.

Probably now being nailed by a better footballer or some grunt from Towie. I liked Knott, nice lad, but non league really is his level.

He made poor lifestyle choices. Us plebs can do what we want but athletes need to be clean. Look at any promising lad that had 1 or 2 caps as a fruitful youth but then waned and I'll bet you they were at the booze. Hendrie, Johnson, Jeffers... list goes on. Milner gets stick for being boring but he's still there playing top level.
Knott was boozing all over Leeds and got done for drink driving. Getting lifts and taxis from whoever when he could then. Nice lad, bit dim.

Ever seen this one of the Penarol flag?: That is fucking crazy. Football fans in this country are probably the most passive and boring in the world. Its like football that's been through a sanitiser. The wife took my lad to see these. My lad is football nuts, the wife can take or leave it but they both absolutely loved the atmosphere. She said the train journey to the ground was like being on an EDL march. Absolute madness but unbelievable passion.

Nice lad, bit dim. This is part of the problem with football being awash with money. You don't just have to have the talent, skill and nous but you've got to be of strong enough character to handle the wall to wall fanny, drugs, booze and other distractions that by rights ought to sink a young man with plenty of cash and free time on his hands. In an ideal world footballers would have all their money put into a trust fund until they retire, live near the ground, have a pot of tea and a round of toast with their devoted ma before walking to the ground with their boots over their shoulder in amongst the fans that adore them al a Stanley Matthews. But that ain;t ever going to happen. As many footballers careers are ended by snatch and sniff as are by not making the grade.

This is where your Ferguson's encouraging his players to get married off early ad having snoopers out and about in the clubs paid off. Worked on Beckham and Giggs and Scholes, not so much on Sharpe and Butt and they got lifted out. Simple for him!

She dumped him while he was still here, ran off with an emmerdale bad boy. Went off the rails with his drinking that's why him and pp had the fall out

Parky went apoplectic and he didn't play for us again. I liked Knott. Thought he was good too.
