Phileas Fogg Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 6 minutes ago, Harry said: It seems there’s a desire to create long and complicated chants for players nowadays, which is great if they work, but mostly they don’t. Perhaps we ought to show our appreciation for some players with some of the old and simple, easy classics such as : ”One Tomas Kalas, there’s only one Tomas Kalas” or “Duh duh duh duh, Tomas Kalas” If you’re after a play on something established, such as the ‘one of our own’ song : “He’s no longer on loan, he’s no longer on loan, Tomas Kalas, he’s no longer on loan” How do Man United get it to work? They seem to have an amazing back catalogue of unique songs for players that not only 'work' but are widely sung. Interested to know how they achieve this - that's the benchmark we should aim for in my opinion. So dull when people just sing '7 nation army' but add in X player name.

They tend to have professional song writers who create the lyrics, have fan groups who publicise the lyrics amongst the fans (often something like a ‘song sheet’, which most City fans would be in uproar about if that happened here), then of course they have more than about 30 people trying to actually sing it at a game. One thing I’ve learned over many years watching City, we have a very apathetic fan base. A simple song can sometimes see many join in, but any more than about 6 words and most of the fans can’t be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you throw a brick at him he’ll head the fecker back. Tom Kalas is his partner & he would do the same and when we win promotion we’ll this song again.

Didn't know that - interesting. Works for them, some of their songs are excellent and i'm always amazed how quickly they're adopted by a large % of their support. 20 hours ago, Harry said: One thing I’ve learned over many years watching City, we have a very apathetic fan base. A simple song can sometimes see many join in, but any more than about 6 words and most of the fans can’t be arsed. That's also true. It's a shame because in comparison to lots of clubs at this level we've got some pretty unique songs and a distinct identity. More so than many similar sized clubs in my opinion.
