The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

For the same reason they sing about Leeds, City, Alan Shearer and so on. They’re songs, Phil. They get sung at games.

Not great to be singing about poverty though is it

Maybe they should have sung that song about how amazing and beautiful Scousers are. Maybe they'll sing that one in the 2nd half

'Feed the Scousers' chant that mocks poverty is not 'banter' - and football fans can do better

Societal inequalities are established by governments but are propelled by people who mock others - the only way to address this inequality is through love, support and sympathy

Or maybe they just don’t sing about poverty eh - or is that just too hard

Oh Phil, please move on. Every time United fans sing about Scousers you simply have to comment.

Every set of fans sing about other clubs. It’s part of the game and, whatever the song subject matter, it really doesn’t merit debate here each and every time it happens. Really, it doesn’t.

Part of the game ? It’s comments like that which attempt to justify it and enable it

They aren’t singing about a “club” - they are singing about poverty

It’s not “part of the game” to sing about poverty - it’s low level iq behaviour from a bunch of idiots

And yes it should merit debate but too many just try and brush it off

I’m sure all those people going to food banks every day in Manchester must be delighted to hear brain dead football fans sing it

'Feed the Scousers' chants remain but Everton and Liverpool get last laugh

Everton and Liverpool supporters have had to put up with 'Feed the Scousers' chants since the 1980s

Please, Phil, for the sake of this forum, move on.

The debate has been done time, and time, and time again. We’re not going to change it by constantly dragging it up here.

Nobody is saying tragedy chanting, singing about poverty and so on is acceptable. But it’s been happening at games for more years than any of us care to remember, and a few comments here are never going to change it.

That’s my final comment on it.

They're football supporters.
Do you expect them to sing songs expressing their hapiness over how well Elon Musk is doing?

Jack Robinson had a blunt response for the section of Sheffield United fans singing the 'feed the Scousers' chant in their team's 2-0 loss to Liverpool on Wednesday (6 December).

Am I the only one who thinks that could have been avoided by the attacker.

I think he’s left one on him there.

Correct.

Spurs wide open on the left.
Matter of time before UTD score from there but final ball must be better.

[nickjdavis]

what is the commentator on about...Manchester's Finest ?

On current form that must surely be Salford City ?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

what is that about

This would be the most Spursy moment ever

 

[Swango1980]

Just heard Spurs fans sing about the referee, related to obesity and not having a father. Disgrace

 

[Swango1980]

Interesting

 

[Arthur Wedge]

it’s gone all Spursy and Neville is reaching orgasm time

 

[Slime]

Game on!
