Sounds to me like we need some new songs - nobody seems to like any of the current ones. So long as it's loud, who cares??
DJ DD - totally agree re the new announcer. His voice really grates and he doesn't seem very sincere. I'm sure he's just as bigger supporter as me, but... Brian Cole was a class act - only now do we realise how good he was...
Also, I remember listening to the spammers singing 'Jonny Lyle's claret and blue army' for almost a whole game and getting really p'd off with it. I don't think that is the answer for us. But, sitting in the East Stand, we gratefully take the lead from the Northies - anything you wanna sing, i'll join in!!!

we didn't get a point , it might have put our players off, at bolton and pompey the chant wasn't that loud and we got 4 points so i think nothing would have been better

Expect plenty of "we are west hams claret & blue army" on the 24th, all sung on our own accord and not with the aid of a drum/trumpet *smiley winkey thing*

i thought the ammers sang 'curbs and mervs claret and blue army'
C A FC is great in my humble opinion, its an 'in your face' chant, which is just what we need to get our players to play in the same way. It worked a treat on Saturday!
I remember when West Ham lost the F.A. CUP SEMI FINAL to Forest 4-0 when the had Tony Gale sent off.They sang Billy Bond's claret and blue army for F**kin ages it was superb we should sing Alan Pardew's red and white army non-stop what a lift it would give the players.Let's start a CL pledge to do this this against THE SPAM.

isn't that the whole point ?...you could see their players were getting rattled, the away fans were mostly silent or drowned out, the charlton players were keeping the momentum going and the charlton fans were awake...lets have more of it...
and when we get a corner it should be everybody shouting 'come on you reds...' and not just once or twice while a charlton player trots over the the corner post and silence after that...

we're more likely to score from an opposition goalkick than a corner of our own

Wasn't there a 20-minute "Iain Dowie's red and white army" at Germinal Beerschot?

I do hope you're being ironic / sarcastic

Bring on the band - it adds variety. Don't care what you sing, so long as you lose the game...
Also, there is no way will you be seeing my *smiley winkey thing*, whatever that is...
i can't stand the chant, but it was nice to hear the Upper North buzzing after a very muted first half[/quote]
you can't stand it, yet you're the first person my right lug-hole can hear yelling it at the top of their voice ; )
LOL, i think i'm singularly responsible for spreading the songs from the North to the East. A one-man halfway house !!
