A nice ferrari and an SUV
We don't shop in Primark it's full of scum

Bordesley not Small HeathNot middle class but one of the most stupid songs i have heard was yesterday. A group of swans got brave on cov rd before the game singing " you're just a sh*t town in Villa" as opposed to " you're just a sh*t town in Aston"
By the looks of them they weren't deliberately being funny
Bless their little brains
This is also incorrect: the chant is actually, “shit town NEAR…”, thus suggesting that your town/city js small and insignificant in comparison to *the other named place*

This version would be correct if sung, for example, at fans of Lesotho or Eswatini:
Shit country (with)in South Africa
You’re just a shit country (with)in South Africa

They did also seem to have quite a collection of anti- English songs. Would it not be an option for them to play in the League of Wales if they hate the English so much, or at the very least to sing their songs in Welsh?
Blues used to sing the name of one of our players (think it was a keeper) followed by Ra Ra Ra.

We did. But Hansbury was so poor, didn’t seem to care that he was very limited and therefore deserved a daft anthem.

There were about twelve seats empty (that got filled) at Leeds in the stand adjacent at about 3.02. Few lads near me started singing with no hint of irony 'Empty Seats, M'Lord, empty seats'
To be fair they were told to shut up.
'And you'll never work from home
You'll NEVER work from home...'
Pre loads of football on tv and the internet fans got a lot less exposure to other team' chants. So there were a few that didn't seem to spread.
There were also a lot of generic chants back in the 1980s.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" was everywhere back then too. I reckon it was telly coverage that put everyone bar Liverpool and Celtic OFF using it. To avoid sounding like a bandwagoner.
