I used to enjoy the mass whistling of the Laurel and Hardy theme tune as the old bill walked in front of the West End.

Also, whatever happened to the second verse of 'In our Coventry homes'?

i.e.
you look in the dustbin for something to eat,
you find a dead dog and you think its a treat
in your (insert away town/city) homes

To the tune of the sugar puff advert at the time.

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure for a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today you’ll hardly believe you eyes
Because Jeremy the Sugar Puff bear has got some boots and cropped his hair.
Todays the day Jeremy joins us skinheads.

Especially for Mark Hughes

you’ll be sacked in the morning to the tune of we’re going to score in a minute
I read that thinking "I don't remember us singing anything to the tune of Kylie and Jason? And Mark Hughes never played for us."

I remember it at half-time against Rochdale in the L1 covid season too. It gets going every now and then.

While we're on the subject - why has "you fat bastard" been replaced with the awful "you're shit... ahhhh" when the opposition goalie takes a goal kick? Very small time.
Because what if the keeper is incredibly skinny?

Apologies if already listed, and to the RSPCB but we used to sing

When the red red robin goes bob bob bobbin' along
Shoot the b*st*rd, shoot the b*st*rd, shoot the b*st*rd

No idea why or the reason behind it :ROFLMAO:

To Brighton fans. "Does your boyfriend know you're here"
And Brighton back
"You're too ugly to be gay"

Always thought that was a great come back
Did they want their come (sic) back?

Edit: also some chant to Peter Shilton asking if his Mrs knew he was here

Anybody remember a night game v Sunderland. A lad on his mates shoulders giving it large to Spion Kop. Then City fans struck up with:

"We will see him outside,
That wanker in the dungarees."

After a few choruses he realised he stuck out like a sore thumb and spent the rest of the game trying to hide amongst the Sunderland fans. He got it all game.

I was there that game, did he have a cowboy hat on too? I got a vague memory of singing “who’s that twat with the cowboy hat” 😂

You're going to get your f**king heads kicked in.

We'll see you all outside. (repeat 3 times)

You what you what you what you what you what

If you think you're f**king hard enough.

I was born under a Sky Blue stand
I was born under a Sky Blue stand
The rest advocates violence and racism which is truly shocking to the tune of Wand'rin' Star-Lee Marvin

The good old days eh! It's a wonder anyone went to watch football years ago having to listen to stuff like that.

I remember that too. It was the 5-0 League Cup quarter final game. I thought the chant went something like ''who's that twat in the dungarees'. Your version rhymes better but I'm sure the dungarees were referenced in the chant. I also remember him then trying to look inconspicuous afterwards realising he would be easy to pick out after the game.

Another funny one I recall is playing at QPR when they had a defender with flowing blond locks just making his way in the team. It might have been Karl Ready but not absolutely sure, but anyhow our fans started regaling him with chants of ''There's only one Sally Webster''. Think he went for a more severe hair style not long after :)

Unless I've missed it surprised no one has brought up the repeated 'Hey Jude' chorus where we simply replaced Hey Jude with Sky Blues that sometimes would go on for ages.

Also fondly remember the West End singing 'Lip up fatty, Lip up fatty fatty Rimmer' at the Villa game to the Bad Manners tune of the time.
Also about that same time to the 'Tom Hark' tune we had ''The Villa sing, I don't know why, 'cos after the match their gonna die''.

Some of the keepers in the 80s came in for the worst stick:-
"Les Sealey is a homosexual ..."
To Peter Shilton "What's it like to beat the wife?"
And some bloke in the WT shouting at Nigel Spink "Oi Spunk - you're shit!"

There was one time they had this weedy little lad selling programmes in front of the WT and someone shouted out "Mr Muscle" (from the TV ad of that time) - everyone pissed themselves, but he took a bow and became immortalised in that moment!
