The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
I was thinking about some of the chants and songs that have emerged in response to specific event that has occurred during the match, or aimed at an individual player or manager.
For example, after Robbie Blake's wonder goal against ManUre, Rooney missed a shot and the Claret masses taunted him with a chorus of "You're not Robbie Blake, you're not Robbie Blake,you're not Robbie you're not Robbie, you're not Robbie Blake!"
A cry of "You'll never play for England!" drew an angry response from Darren Anderton (I think it was him).
Finally, (and the inspiration for the thread title, it being subtle, wise and witty), this devastating insult aimed at Grimsby fans:
You're SH!T! ....And you stink of fish. Still chuckle at that one.
Have you got any favourites?

Re: The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
One that sticks out for me was the 'thank you very much for Akinbiyi' song when he scored against stoke.... It was sung in tune to the roses advert.
Also the John Terry going down in tune to london bridge.. Not sure if that was one we made up or not but was quite amusing...

I liked the song sung to Wayne Bridge when he played for Brighton or someone.
Mrs Bridge is going down,
Going down, going down,
Mrs Bridge is going down,
On John Terry!
(Tune of London Bridge)

Ipswich fans, 9-0 down at ManU..
"We want one! We want one!'
Ipswich again, being taunted by ManC fans chants of "going down, going down.."
"So are We! So are We!"
Dark humour in dark times. Brilliant.

Re: The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
I remember the 4-2 victory over Sheffield Utd when Jamie hoyland scored one or two and he'd only signed the week before. 'Thank you very much for Jamie hoyland'.
Also enjoyed Southampton away 'where were you when you were sh-ite ' and to Man City 'you're just a sh-it Man Utd '.

Re: The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
I particularly liked it at West Ham a few seasons ago when we were singing to Rob Green ( Goalie ), "England, England's number 3". Then when he let another one in it became " England, England's number 4". It was so good it provoked a reaction from him as he was clearly p!ssed off about it. Quality!

When we played Luton at Kenilworth Road in 2006 and the game was held up because a corner flag was broken and they couldn't find a replacement.

My dad always tells of one in the 90's away at Grimsby to the tune of Go West "You're sh%t, and you smell of fish"....they scored whilst we were singing it...
Sat on the Bob Lord, 94-95, can't remember who we were playing and the opposition has a free kick just inside their half on the wing, its all quiet and this chap starts screaming "Ted...drop back....TED...DROP BACK....TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD DROP BAAAAAACK" Mcminn looks up to where this shout was coming from, looks back at the pitch and drops back about 10 yards.... "THANKS TED" came the reply. loads of folk laughing, i suppose you had to be there..
I've always liked the "When you're sat in row z and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora"

Re: The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
Away at Crewe when Sodje (i think) was wearing the bandanna the chant went up of 'he's got a tea towel on his head' and that moved on to 'he's got his mums knickers on his head'.
A guy took a cabbage to Hull when Jakub was playing for us and kept holding it up above his head everytime he touched the ball, but it kept getting smaller with pieces breaking off. The chant went up of 'who ate all the cabbage?'
When a Russian team came over for a friendly about 92 Burnley scored and the longside started a 'your not singing anymore' to the empty away end.

Remember Barnsley away a few years ago when the ball got booted out the ground and they took their time bringing a new one out, we were singing "You've only got one ball" and that quickly turned into "Are you Hitler in disguise?"

Re: The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
One chant that really got up an opposition players nose (The player will date how far back)
A chant from the Longside when Alan Ball was playing for Arsenal.
"Alan Ball, Alan Ball,"
"Is it true what Shankly says you're worth fu*k all?"
"Oh Alan Ball."
Ball lost the plot completely and at one stage was stood in front of the Longside giving us the "V" sign, cue even more singing

Derby away when ternant was our manager. We were one nil down at half time and come back to win two one. Seem to remember Robbie Blake hadn't been with us for long and hadn't really done much for us until this game. Near the end of the game the Derby fans were leaving in there droves then the Burnley end started singing taxi for Derby.
Re: The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans
Birmingham city at home about 12 years ago. My mates who are Birmingham fans said that one of the funniest chants directed at them came from the longside on that day. A very poor away following were derided with chants of "Have you come disguised as seats, have you come, have you come, have you come disguised as seats."

"The wit and wisdom of Clarets fans"
I must say though, it has been been more wit that wisdom over the years...
Away at Southampton a couple of years ago there was an exchange of banter over Jay Rod.
We sang "He's one of our own"
They sang "He left cos you're $hit"
We sang "He'll leave when he's fit"
Then some one shouted something that I couldn't make out. Lots of laughs and it ended. Would love to know what was said. Just hope it was funny.
