Big Red Rich Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Sorry if I'm a bit naive but I couldn't understand this chant from the Eastend. Can somebody explain why they were chanting "you wish you were English"?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 standard moronic chant from football fans referring to the fact that Leicester has a largely asian population.....they must have been so intimidated by our mob chanting this while they were 4-0 up.....IQ level minimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Par for the course when we play Leicester. Witless and embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Regardless of the xenophobic/racist argument, is it any wonder that the people of this country think we are inbred yokel morons when this is the level of 'banter'? Today, for the most part I have been embarrassed to be associated with this club and this region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody explain why they were chanting "you wish you were English"?!! Like many teams sing to us 'you're just a small town in Wales'' thought it was naff the first time i heard this, thought it was even naffer when Leicester fans sung it today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_red Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 this was discussed in length when we played them away I think. Personally, I don't see anything 'witless, embarassing, disgusting' about it. i think those who construe it as racist are being a little over sensitive.

bs3 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 According to last year censor white British is a minority in Liecester . Maybe the chant was moronic maybe not but there is a serious social point to be discussed when English people are no longer a majority in an English Town .

That's a completely different thing to English people no longer being a majority. Anyway, I wouldn't say it's racist, just naive and crap banter.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I doubt anyone in the Leicester follow gave one second notice to this song. I sang this, get over yourselves people, have a pop at the 95% of the home support that don't sing anything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Correction - it was in response to us being a small town in Wales. And the only thing I can think of more embarrassing than singing it (if it was due to the large asian population) is the 3 other stands staying silent throughout the 90 mins, ZZZZzzzzz.

lenred Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 As someone mentioned earlier in this post, an embarrassment on and off the pitch. And for those of you who say 'it doesn't matter', well I'm speechless. Saw a pretty large Asian descent contingent today and if I was one of them I'd be pissing myself at this poor excuse for 'support'. Ashamed and embarrassed. Get real people.

Ah, so us being from a country a few miles away is the same as comparing people from England to another continent on the back of their ethnicity? I'd rather sit in silence than listen to you drag this club through the muck you think is acceptable or witty. It's like a Jim Davidson gig... Out of date, boring and lacking in any humour.

Maltshoveller Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Because the east End is awesome.
