Top 5 Funniest Chants In English Football History

“Your teeth are offside.”

The football chant “Your teeth are offside” is a chant directed by English fans toward Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez during his time at Liverpool. The striker had very prominent teeth sticking out, and after his entire fiasco about ‘biting’ another player, his teeth became an easy target, which gave rise to this chant. While this specific chant is directed towards Suarez, this template is very common and is used in various variations like ‘Your nose is offside’, and even ‘Your eyes are offside’, with the latter one being directed towards Arsenal star Mesut Ozil, whose eyes were a standout point in his physical appearance.

“He’s big, he’s red, his feet stick out the bed.”

Another classic dedicated to Crouch, this chant plays on both his physical stature and his ginger hair, making it a lighthearted, easy-to-remember anthem for fans. It showcases the creativity of English fans to turn a player’s characteristics into a catchy song. The humorous repetition and rhythm enhance its appeal, creating a festive atmosphere during matches where the crowd’s energy can be felt resonating through the stands. This is one of the most iconic chants in football history due to both its humorous nature and its ease of remembering and chanting. Various chants like this make fun of the football players’ physical appearances.

“Let’s pretend we scored a goal.”

This football chant is another hilarious English chant that is used by the losing team in a playful manner in order to lighten the mood and enjoy the game. One fine example of this is Aston Villa singing this chant while being 3-0 down. As the club had not been able to score a goal in the match, the fans had nothing to celebrate. As a result of this, the fans decided to take matters into their own hands and create their own entertainment. They cheered, “Let’s pretend, Let’s pretend, Let’s pretend we scored a goal”, before the crowd erupted into cheers and chaos, almost as if the home team had managed to score a goal.

“Who ate all the pies?”

A jovial chant aimed at any overweight player (or sometimes even the referee), this song highlights the humorous side of football culture, where big personalities are playfully targeted. The chant’s catchy nature and upbeat rhythm evoke laughter from both sides, creating a communal joke that diffuses tension during heated matches. It serves as a reminder of how fans use humour to bond over shared experiences, ensuring that, no matter the outcome, fun remains in the game. This chant displays a perfect balance of playful banter while poking at something fun, as it is not something harsh that will cause people to get angry.

“Are you Tottenham in disguise?”

This is a chant that was originally used by Arsenal fans due to the severe rivalry between the two London clubs. They always want to take a dig at Tottenham even when they are not playing them, and this is exactly what this hilarious tweet achieved, calling Tottenham a shit team and comparing them to whoever is losing. However, even other teams have started using this chant due to its hilarious nature. It was Arsenal who used this tweet recently, using it against Real Madrid after beating them 5-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League and getting across the message that the Los Blancos had played terribly against them.
