No need to thank me now lads, see you on the terrace later.

Only one option that I've heard, obvious choice really...

Pissano, woh oh oh oh, 

Pissano, woh oh oh oh,

He comes from Italy, he plays for the City, 

Pissano, who oh oh oh .....

I hope we come up with something a bit more imaginative than the usual hey Jude and 'do do do do Famara Died-diou'

He's our record signing.. surely worth a better chant than the usual tunes we recycle from Baldock/Maynard/Agard etc

Why is it that clubs like United come up with good chants like this all the time? Unique, catchy and clever.

The 'pisa-pisa-pisano' chant is the best one I've heard. Very easy to remember and pretty unique.

Not sure why we're so determined to try and recycle the same chants we've done for years but with different players..

Different eyes on it.

None of this less us do what everybody else does cos look ... ITS ON YOIUTUBE!

Mancs want to be original.

Want to be different Is the start.

Don't think City fans have come up with an original idea fer five years.

Need to go back and work out what it was stopped.

I think we're pretty original really. We've got our fair share of unique songs - certainly more than average. 

We're certainly capable of originality.. hope we get some new songs this year.

The problem with getting completely new tunes/chants started properly, is that nobody knows them. Obviously!

Utd do come up with some great chants. 

We have a much better/wider array of songs than you hear from most other clubs, although, naturally, a lot of them are recycled.

Virtually every chant at every club were developed spontaneously during a match, not composed on a forum ffs....

Do you suppose that were no chants before the Internet?

Might help to have a chant/songs thread.

We know we've got regular OTIB contributors who are also in S82,  i.e. @Harry, and that's the area any new chants are likely to be taken up in any numbers. 

They can take any likely new chants offered up on here, modify them a bit if necessary, and give them a go in the singing section to see if they take off.

Will inevitably get a load of rubbish, but there'll be the odd good one in there too.

The only rule, imo, should be they have to be original.

Not sure how United spread their chants so well - seems everyone knows them and they've got loads of great ones. Best away following in the country in my opinion; only the real hardcore get away tickets.

I agree - we're much much much better than average. So glad we don't sing that recycled stuff like 'when I was young' that loads of teams do.

What happened to that song we used to sing maybe 10 years ago? Came from the EE. It had no lyrics, a bit like the dobby doo song. Evolved into that '**** off back, **** off back, **** off back to (town name) YOU C****s! I wondered if it was one from Willem II originally. Felt it was really good before we added the words. Anyone know where that came from?

Do you mean the "ooooh dooby dooby doooo, oooooh doooby dum dum" song...? My friend sent me a video clip of where this originally came from. You'll piss yourselves if I tell you what it was! For what got adopted as a bit of a drunken "hoolie" chant on the terraces, its origin couldn't have been any further from that.

It's not that one, not nearly as well known as that and only sung sporadically. It's evolved into a different chant altogether now.

Cos United have a group of fans who start with  not wanting to be like everybody else.

That's the culture.

Not really sure what that haiku has to do with atmosphere at AG.

There's a dedicated group of fans at AG that make lots of effort to improve the atmosphere - stickers, flags, songs.. all good stuff.

Maybe it's you that needs to move on and give it a bit more support rather than grumbling about it because it's not exactly the same as the 1980s.

Unfortunately some "old school" fans think an atmosphere is lacking without bloodshed on crumbling terraces, racist chanting & hurling abuse for 90 minutes. 

There aren't many places left on the planet like that anymore. Strangely, there does happen to be one a few miles north of Ashton Gate..!

Those chaps are responsible for what you are posting about.

That's its roots.

Somewhere the point of being original, a bit at times .... Well uniquely odd got lost in translation.

You missed the point.

Those days ARE gone.

Don't get vexed.

Bristol City and things move on.

The atmosphere isn't that bad considering.. we've had huge upheaval at home and sadly during our double winning season (which should've had lots of great atmospheres) AG was a building site with singers pushed into the worst corner.

Despite that, I don't think there's been a better atmosphere recently since Swindon at home in 2015. I think we're far far better than average. On it's day, AG is still one of the most atmospheric grounds in the country in my opinion.

I think this season we'll start to see a better atmosphere consistently - S82 have a home, it's a good spot and will help the noise reverberate around the ground better than before. Add better performances to the mix and AG will be a consistently noisy ground. People should get behind it and stop sniping.

I'm far from miserable. I simply don't understand why people invent chants on here when we never ever hear them at AG.

the ysc are where parts of that you post about came from. some now don't go to football at all, some are in the sixties, fifties others who were also responsible have moved on. got a bit saner or not in the case of one who had great original idres but got himself in a wold of non City trouble and disappeared. maybe things will move around again to being ??? because the ysc EE was a reaction to how stale things were getting the ground over ten years ago but much of it you know is gone the masks and Dandoes in 2017?? not really anymore!!!

Do you suppose that were no chants before the Internet? 

While I get this point - and I do, sometimes there can be chants suggested that clearly have been thought of whilst sat on the sofa at home, and thus naturally lack a bit of the energy/crowd mentality (which isn't to say they're bad, just in need of development/adjustment) - I also think there's a bit more to it than that.

First of all, I'm not sure any chants started entirely "spontaneously" with a whole block of people just magically starting the same song at the same time. It will have required at least one person to have thought about it beforehand, at least a little bit, and more than likely involved that person mentioning it to their friends in advance, so that a decent sized group started it during a match which led to others hearing, enjoying, and then joining in with it. For those people, it was spontaneous, admittedly, but that wasn't the genesis of it.

Secondly, it assumes that someone posting a chant on a forum is doing so independently of sharing it with friends in person. In fact, they may have come up with it "spontaneously" with a couple of mates in the stands, but lacked the numbers to get it started and so have used the channels available to attempt to gain traction. No, previous chants won't have been started on the internet, but if it were available then some of them - almost certainly - would've been posted/discussed.

For many, discussing things on the internet (on whatever platform) is much the same as discussing things in a pub. And the fact is that it has a bigger reach than your average group of mates going to a game, so it gives rise to the potential of more inventive chants, not less. How do we know there weren't amazing chants out there that we've never heard because it was only made up by two people, stood in an area where not many people sang, and therefore they didn't feel confident enough to try it "live"? Now, those two people can talk to others who will have the confidence.

Yes, this also means there will be more chants discussed, and therefore we will see more "failed" attempts. But we shouldn't dismiss it outright - creativity is at its best when people feel confident to fail.

You know, or :fastasleep:...

Manchester United have supporters and fanzines that attempt to be different. These fans distribute their ideas. That has became part of the fan supporting culture.

Because songs like this have more than two lines and they never catch on at City. It's either short & snappy or forget it. I've tried.

It's pretty funny I thought. Only caught the words yesterday. Clearly a bit post-ironic about that 'europe in 5 years' thing.

Shame it's to that tune though, I was proud we were one of the only clubs that didn't use it.

I think we need something nice and generic that can be used in any situation:

 

We drink cider, or lager or beer

Our very best player is 'insert name here'

When we score a goal, the whole ground will cheer

Except, when it's closed, the Lansdown top tier.

Absolute horrendous chant . It's one of those songs I thought I'm glad we don't sing that shit . Then against Barnsley my ears started bleeding. Each to their own but I won't be joining in that one

EMBARRASING! Whoever started this. STOP IT! If you are in the singing section on Saturday please can people have a word with the Kids who have started it!

You seem pretty negative about it all since the EE shut.
