SparkySaint Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 I watch from home and couldn't work out if it was "pay up pompey, pompey pay up" or "wind up pompey, pompey wind up" Personally I think both are very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysaint Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 pay up pompey and loads of us waving £10 and £20 notes in the air. Anyone know what the row of lads waving their shoes in the air were singing and the relevance to the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Would be more obviously different to 'play up pompey' if a different choice of replacement word was used rather than 'pay'. Otherwise it just sounds the same as the opposing team's supporters singing 'play up pompey' to wind us up....well, that's how it comes across on TV anyway, which I assume was the intended audience?

I was there and joined in with the chant - funny stuff - although did think at the time that it might come across on TV as the opposition fans winding us up! That was definitely not the case - didn't hear a peep out of them all game! Saints won the battle both on the pitch and off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what the row of lads waving their shoes in the air were singing and the relevance to the shoes. Isn't it the ultimate insult to an Arab to show him/her the soles of your shoes? In which case it was a very clever way of insulting our 'friends' owners ... well done who ever thought of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case it was a very clever way of insulting our 'friends' owners ... well done who ever thought of it! Seems a bit too remote a link there,showing your soles to insult arabs. Sure it was not more like a group of saps copying Luton ? Thanks for clearing that up for me, a lot were saying the relevance was to Sol Campbell but that was too tenuous for me. That would have involved showing their 'r.soles' rather than anything to do with shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Pay up', was first sung by Arsenal fans, sounds far too much like 'Play up', and doesn't have a the same double meaning that 'Wind up' does. Also, in three weeks time it'd be great to be able to sing 'Wound up' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mao Cap Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Talking of away chants, did I hear some muppets sing WHU Bubbles song at Millwall. Very, very wrong. You did Shameful - singing the song of the rivals of the team you're playing is on a par with ringing a bell and chanting wordless dirges all game.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 On the subject of chants, what are the words to that song with the line "this is the worst trip I've ever been on"? Also "take me home, to St. Mary's ..............." they could even be part of the same song...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty embarassing, just like when we get 'play up Pompey' or 'one Harry Redknapp' it's hardly original just lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
