I've said it before and I'll say it again:

 

"Up the Football Here We Go" doesn't make any sense at all.

 

"Up the Football League we go", on the other hand, does make sense, and that's why it's correct!

LL used to sing "up the football here we go........... when we get promoted..........". He insisted his version was right, until he actually tried to sing his version in a vocal crowd at an away match and then had to admit his verion was a bit sheite, and ultimately wrong.

At some games, it sound to me like I'm the only person within earshot who sings the latter.

 

It is frustrating to hear the wrong words, and it used to really wind me up. These days I just ask myself which of the two scenarios is better:

 

1) Fan sings "Up the Football Here We Go" at full volume

 

2) Fan shouts " :censored: ing hell Smalley, you're :censored: ing sh :censored: t!" at full volume

 

 

There's only one choice for me :)

My favourite is always:

 

"Sheridan's blue pints on me"

 

 

Also...

 

"Up the Football League we go"

 

"A friend" once misheard this as:

 

E I E I E I O

Up the football league we go

When we win promotion

This is what we'll sign

We are Oldham We are Oldham

We will f :censored: :censored: k the kids!

Wasn't that the Hartlepool version?

 

I remember the first game I ever went to, walking out of the ground why the fans were singing "Away, away, away, away" when they were at home! I was only a kid, I'd never even heard the word Ole (don't know how to put the accent on)

My mate insists it's the former but it clearly makes no sense. I've always sang "Up the football league we go".

It always winds me up to hear Man ure fans singing "Champione, champione....". It was Liverpool's song and should be "Campione, campione..." (Italian for Champions after The Reds' European Cup victory in Rome 1984). If you're going to steal a song, at least get it right you thick manc tossers.

They also ripped 'Always look on the bright side of life' from Villa. No originality those lowlifes.

Course it does - 'Up the football' is merely and abbreviation of 'going up to Boundary Park to watch the football, here we go'

Quite possibly the worst song I've heard in recent years was was Man U sang "United are going to Glasgow.......". Some numpties tried adapting this to Latics but it didn't quite work (or rhyme!). It went something like this:

 

Follow, follow, follow.......Oldham are going to Car-difffff.

There'll be thousand of Blues, Out on the booze......cos Oldham are going to Car-difffff.

 

Rubbish. I used to cringe every time that was sung!

I sing:

 

'He used to play for Man U, and Leeds when they were :censored:'

 

I think we need some sort of clarification on this!

He used to play for Man U, and Leeds but they were Shi-te!

 

And when he saw the oldham he thought f'in dynamite!

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo....................................!

I was always under the impression that the chant was -

 

And it's Norway never,

Norway never no more,

‘til we play :censored: rovers over and over

 

I stopped singing it when i figured out that made no sense, and could not understand what Norway had to do with it.

20 years later I have still not figured out, what the song is.

Try singing "no way never" - you'll find it makes sense - instead of what has been your own personal tribute to Gunnar Halle! :grin:
