    Come on your reds....we always sound like we are pleading.
  • We're just a small team in London - as we are on the way to beating Newcastle in reply to their taunts when season ticket holders had half the Jimmy Seed.
    1 goal went past Perry.
    Deano Deano - to any goalie who kicks out for a throw on.

    I'm totally bored with the Deano thing. It's not quite as bad though as the instant references that crop up as soon as some new striker trips up, misses a sitter or fails to connect with the perfect cross as some humourless wag feels the need to inform everone that they were around when Leaburn was.

    Not sure what that proves.

    1. It's wikepedia so not the most reliable

    2. It say Millwall starting singing "No One likes us" in the 1980s (which I doubt)

    3. Rod Stewart had a hit with "Sailing" in the mid-seventies (1975 I think).

    Lots of teams sing it "We are Tottenham, from the Lane" etc

    So many tunes get one outing a season (and that's normally a drunk old school singsong on the way back from some northern sh*thole), eg. Blackburn 06/07, Scunthorpe last season

    Why does nobody know the words to/want to sing:

    Bertie Mee
    Who's that Team
    Grand old team to play for
    Biddy boy
    etc

    it's not age i tell thee - young'uns manage it!

    I went to Millwall v Charlton Match in the mid 70's and Millwall were signing it then. In my view, it's definitely a Millwall song. I think Spurs picked it up from Millwall when they were in the 2nd Division in 1977.

    1. Wikepedia is more reliable than most people give it credit for. One recent study found it to be no better or worse than The Encyclopaedia Britannica. Where "more learned" publications gain in terms of academic rigour, Wikipedia gains in recency and ability to make speedy corrections.

    2. Ha ha, bang goes my argument above... I think you're right with that.

    3. Yes, so what?

    It doesn't matter if Spurs or anyone else sing it, it's still a Millwall song. Imagine for a moment that you are Les Dennis or the the late great Bob Monkhouse, "We asked 100 football fans to name a Millwall song..." I bet that No-one Likes Us would be top of the list, and perhaps it would even be a list of one. It's a tune tainted by their filth.
  • Yes NOLU is a Millwall song but does that mean that no one else can sing a song to the same tune.

    The Rod Stewart date is relevant as that is when it would have been a chart hit and so adopted on the terraces (as many 70s pop songs were).

    So 75 to early 80s is clearly too long a time for Millwall to pick up on the song but not anyone else.

    So Wiki is no reliable

    Millwall do use the tune

    So do we.

    I Iike it when we sing "We are Charlton, half way line" in the East Stand. Not sure if it carries to the upper north but really gets the east standers going.
  • 3 that haven't been mentioned.

    1. KILLER! KILLER! KILLER!
    2. (sung by a few who went to anfield one midweek game)to the tune of lola.....
    he's not the worlds best looking man,
    but when he scores a goal,
    i wanna suck his glands, lee bowyer,
    la la la lee bowyer.
    3. the annual slating of a certain grimsby goalkeeper.....
    who's the poof* in the green and black,
    nigel nigel batch.


    *not meant to start a homophobia debate, the same way we were never really accusing derek hales of murder and i really don't wanna suck lee bowyers glands.
