Chant of the decade

Only happened a few times and may have been entirely localised to 117, but there used to be a bloke who would shout "fuckinnnn 'ELL" any time the opposition came close to scoring, or if City did something stupid.

Over time this evolved into "woahhhhh.....fuckinnnn ELL!" anytime someone took a goal kick at that end....

Culminating in the chant (to the tune of Here We Go": -

fuckin ell, fuckin ell, fuckin ell,
fuckin ell, fuckin ell, fuckin ell,
fuckin ell, fuckin ell, fuckin ell,
fuckin ell, FUCKIN ELL
 
City fans? Chant? We dont do we? Silence in the etihad, silence in the street... would suit us better lol
 
I used to sing it to my infant son to get him to sleep as I don't know any nursery rhymes!
If I was a rag I could of sung loads to him but alas...

I walked past a Nursery in summer, it was a nice day and they were all outside, and the nursery nurses had all the little uns singing bluemoon. Brought a tear to my eye haha
 
Two spontaneous ones that cracked me up.

The first was were when they announced at half time in a game against Newcastle that there were no chips. There was a fat Geordie lad in the away section and 109/110/111 were singing "You are all our chips. You ate all our chips. You fat bastard you ate all our chips".

The other was singing to Stoke or Burnley fans "Have you got running water, have you fuck. Have you got colour telly, have you fuck".

And of course there's the immortal Neville Family song.

Probably mentioned but sticking to chants made in this decade, my favourite is singing to ‘Hulk’ -

“You’re not incredible, you’re not incredible”.

Actually resulted in a complaint to UEFA by ‘Hulk’ and Porto haha.
 
No mention of the numerous versions of the Sheikh Mansour song. Especially liked the one about knocking down OT and turning it into Asda!! Genius!!
 
If the general public - even those with little interest in football are singing it, you know its a good one. The Madrid trip when it was quite new was incredible. This video is good but I remember being on the metro singing it and all the Real Madrid fans got involved, and going up the escalator with everyone doing the actions too.



Honorary mention for Will Grigg's on fire.


Even Dippers sang it later -

If memory serves me right that Geordie lad posted on here the day after
 
Has to be the yaya toure song only because of how timely it was coinciding with our first major piece of silverware and how instrumental he was in the semi and final.
