Songs that tòok the piss

One of the most original 'chants' I heard was late 90s at Luton.

Luton fans were giving it 'You're not famous anymore' and all that. A City fan behind us, definitely the worse for wear but clearly still able to remember that Eric Morecambe many years before used to be a director at Luton but had long since passed away, slowly rose to his feet, gestured towards the Luton fans and drunkenly slurred the immortal words 'One dead comic, you've only one dead comic...'
 
Quite a few against Stoke a few years back when we where 4-0 up
You Should of gone Xmas shopping
You’ve had your throw in now F-off home
Let’s all do the throw in
Joey do the throw in (which he did join in with)

I remember 'Cannon and Ball are shagging your wife' aimed at Harry Kewell when his Mrs was in the Jungle.

This was definitely one of the greatest
And that’s why the spontaneity of British support will always be better than choreography, capos and drums
Who can forget when Porto actually reported us to UEFA for taking the piss?

Anyone remember sarcy songs when we were so poor aimed at the opposition?

On 22/10/1980 Spurs came to Maine Road and we were yet to win a game under Malcom

I remember we went 3-0 up much to every onr's astonishment

Then the song belted out from the Kippax.

"Oh Tottenham Hotspur the only football team to lose in Manchester"

Classic.

Anyone else remember Songs like this taking the piss?

I know this is gonna sound daft with a whiff of bullshit but me and my mate Kenny started that chant against the Spuds at that game .. We were right at the back in the Kippax next to the away fans …:-)
 
Probably, rightly be a little bit frowned upon in these enlightened times. But for some reason whenever we went to Watford:

“Elton John is a homosexual “

Always amused me a little more than it probably should have.

And even more distasteful, singing at Middlesbrough fans shortly after the Cleveland child sex abuse scandal:

“Fuck off home and shag your kids”

It was probably going to be interesting outside after the game regardless but Jesus, that ensured a lively little jaunt back to the train station.

I still refer to them as the kiddy fiddlers. Ayresome Park was horrible back in the day.
 
Not so much taking the piss but just funny was when a particularly dull game at Maine Road in the mid 70s was interupted by a dog running about on the pitch for 10 minutes with a cheer going up every time it avoided being captured,
Needless to say the dog was evicted & the game went back to being dull soon to be followed by the chant from the Kippax "We want the dog back"

Remember an FA Cup tie against Watford in the mid-80s when the Kippax greeted the visitors’ famously young fan-base with a falsetto chant of: “Wat-ford [clap-clap-clap]… Wat-ford [clap-clap-clap]…”. Funny, and weird, in equal measure

I was at that game. I seem to remember everyone chanting “super dog“.
 
"Stevie Bruce, the Elephant Man" at Norwich once upon a time. Norwich won and Bruce gave it back after the match.

And (sorry to say) none of these quite rises to the brilliance of the Kop's rendition of "Careless Hands" when Gary Sprake threw the ball into his own net.
