English Soccer Fight Songs

About a year and a half ago I converted to being a soccer fan (Go Chelsea!). In addition to the game itself, one of the most enduring qualities of a soccer game (especially in the English Premiere League) is the fact that instead of a cacophony of cheers, the fans have organized songs to cheer on and support their team.

Now, even with HD I can't make out word one but oh, how it sounds to have thousands of people singing at full volume. I've researched some of the songs used by a few of the teams and most of them are a hoot, to say the least!

Here are some of the lyrics!

Roll out the Arsenal
Roll out the Arsenal
Lets have a barrel of fun
Roll out the Arsenal
We've got them all on the run
Just one more goal now
Then how we all will cheer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
The Gang's all here

You are my Arsenal
You are my Arsenal,
My only Arsenal,
You make me happy,
When skies are grey,
You'll never know just,
How much I love you,
So please don't take,
My Arsenal... Away
Na na na na na (ooh)
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Na na na na na...

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Santa is an Arsenal fan
And at Highbury today - oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh what fun it is to see
The Arsenal win away

Don't cry for me Aston Villa,
The truth is no one likes you,
All through your crap days,
Of your sad existence,
We stayed away,
We kept our distance.
(anti-Villa)

Stamford Bridge is falling down!
Falling down! Falling down!
Stamford Bridge is falling down,
Poor old Chelsea!
(anti-Chelsea)

You're French and you know you are!
You're French and you know you are!
You're French and you know you are!
(sung to fans of Bruges and Anderlecht, by a number of English clubs)

Oggy-oggy-oggy, oi! oi! oi!
Oggy-oggy-oggy, oi! oi! oi!
Oggy! Oi! Oggy! Oi!
Oggy-oggy-oggy, oi! oi! oi!
Zigger-zagger, zigger-zagger
Shut your mouth!
(favorite at Chelsea and West Ham)

St. Pauli - Wir waschen uns nie!
St. Pauli - We never wash ourselves!

I can't help but wonder what the Super Bowl would be like if
we Americans had such traditions.
