Slack Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I do think we need to create more chants for the new players, Massengo was a man possessed. I think we need chants for the new signings asap. How good would you feel next home game if you were Matty James, you hear your name being sung and feel pride / acceptance. Just think if this is going to be a tough season these little boosts we can give players would help. Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I don’t know what job you do but let’s say you work in a office,would people outside the building chanting your name make you do a better job,if so you are a lazy git to start with,always give 100% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Posted August 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Ha valid point, although I probably would give 200% if people were chanting my name as I send an email. It was just an idea sponsored by Thatcher's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in an office for 8 hours a day and performing at a very high athletic level for 90 minutes a week on instinct adrenaline and talent in front of 20,000+ people couldn't be more different. I honestly think your post is one of the worst I've ever seen on otib, and that is saying an awful lot.

BCFCGav Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Necessary IMO. Especially for King and Atkinson who both look stellar signings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Posted August 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Was just an idea, help the players feel apart of the club. For instance, never heard a Kalas chant or ..( okay we have a lot of new players in the suad since Fulham) but imagine being King and hearing your club chant your name. Id 100% run that extra mile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 The “problem” with us is like many other clubs. We have two seasons of new signings. If you look at the side today, Bentley, Kalas, DaSilva, Massengo and Weimann were in the first team squad pre Covid. All have songs bar TK (which doesn’t scan well). Simpson, Atkinson, James, Pring, Scott, Martin are all in one way or another “new”. Chants have to be earned, not given, and players earn them via performance. So I don’t expect them to have chants for a while. Or you end up with shit like “Alex Scott, he’s one of our own” for a player born nearer sodding Paris than Knowle!

Just was thinking at half time how many players used to have chants, I thought how mad it must be to hear your name being chanted and what we could do as fans to help support the squad. So after a few haze's thought I'd be brave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs like Man United seem to come up with loads of clever, catchy and unique songs for their players. We have a few unique ones of our own, but it always frustrates me how we revert to type and recycle songs like that. Not saying I could do any better by the way !

Red_Alligator Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I do enjoy a good player chant. One that always tickled me was Sheffield Wednesday fans chanting Gilles de Bilde's name to the tune of Bob the builder.

Manchester is defiantly independent and separate and also assuredly confident in their own independence (from London/the rest of the country). And confident in their own cultural equality, or supremacy over, even, London. Liverpool the same. It wouldn't enter their thinking to hear a chant at Chelsea or Arsenal and then adapt it for themselves. I see the fellas in our singing bit - and in previous years/decades - and, bless 'em they do try, but they do not have this independent state of mind. They don't have the confidence. Or the wit/imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good suggestion, especially as the chanting was unimpressive last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
