Splendid Rush 0 Posted May 10, 2005 This idiom has previously backfired on us, most notably away at Selhurst and St. Mary''s. It seems tiresome now - arrogant and cliched. Imagine, not only having to suffer the pain of relegation, but also being forced to endure hoards of Fulham fans taunting us with our own conceited and unimaginative victory rhetoric.If we go 1-0 up - No.If we go 2-0 up - No.If we go 10-0 up - No.Once we win and are guaranteed another glorious year in the Premiership - Go nuts.

NottsCanary 0 Posted May 10, 2005 4-0 and I will be going nuts..... 3-0 might still be unsafe. Lets be realistic though, Fulham aren''t a bad side and it is gonna take every effort to beat them but I have a sneaky feeling the Fulham players, officials, Al Fayed will see the mad support and enthusiasm of us all in the ground and treat us nicely We can only hope...

Helsinki canary 242 Posted May 10, 2005 I fully support the dropping of the easy, easy chant - it backfires to often..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshmallowMan 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Ditto, we looked right plonkers when we did that at Palace and St Marys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Walrus<H5><IMG src="http:new.pinkun.comforumsimagesline.gif"><BR>In the Kingdom of the blind, the One-Eyed Man is King<BR><H5> 0 Posted May 10, 2005 It makes me cringe when i hear that chant. Fair enough, against Man Poo, it was funny only because it was ironic. Chanting it when our backs are to the wall, and we''re only just ahead or stringing a few passes together is poor show.I''m all for it against the big guns if there''s 1 minute to go and victory is in the bag. Against less able teams, it just sounds arrogant.Maybe a chant of ''WELL DONE FOR STAYING UP, YOU''VE PLAYED SOME DECENT FOOTBALL, NOW HOW ABOUT LETTING DEANO THROUGH FOR ANOTHER GOAL?" would be more apt.

Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted May 10, 2005 I totally agree - makes me cringe too. I also hate it when every time Safri gets the ball, people shout "SHOOT". It''s pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Canary 0 Posted May 10, 2005 it was class when beating ManUre but it doesnt have the same effect against teams that dont have as much class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beelsie 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Yes!!! the very sound of this must stir up the opposition more than any other saying. We are a wonderful supporting group and need to be a little more subtle in the chant department. Any shout that might stir latent passion from an opponent is bound to be counter productive. We as a group, should sort out the opposition''s weak or cocky players for direct personal verbal attacks at them, without being disrespectful, of course; be a little patronising, would have the most effect. Like, "reserves for you next season, or you fell over on purpose, silly boy!!! There are some in our group who are capable of making some novel and choice remarks I''m sure. Once the ball is rolling, joining in would be easyShout''s for our boys must be encouragement only, whatever, befalls, and completely ignore slip-up''s and mistakes.I surprise myself in putting this forward because I find in the situation that my fair play ethics are out of the window. If we can give our side an unfair advantage then so be it. OTBC!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bird Table 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Yeah it''s getting really boring now. Especially when Chelsea players started doing it last night to celebrate their goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USAcanary 0 Posted May 11, 2005 Good Lord, I would cheer for Fulham naked as long as they let us win next Sunday!I do think its a good idea not to piss off the Fulham fans too much as if we are winning 1-0 or drawing 1-1 (which may be enough?) they may start to "encourage" the team and manager to press more in a game which is pretty meaniningless to them.Also another thought, from reading the press there are going to be a lot of Norwich fans in other parts of the ground so it might be prudent to be at least a little respectful.We can intimidate them by outchanting them with lots of "On the ball City" s.

At last? 0 Posted May 11, 2005 leave early - fine no problemchanting for worthy out - acceptablechant "easy, easy" or "shoot" and its a crime against humanity.Sometimes the hypocrisy on this board is amazing.Now if you want a chant to ditch, ditch the schoolboy "we''re the barclay, we''re the snakepit over ere" nonsense.We know, now can you per chance support the team and watch the match?
