Although I don't get to go to games, so asking about how chants and the like are generated is kind of a genuine question.

Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 4:49 amWell, in southern Europe mostly (I think it originated in Italy), there are organized supporter's groups, who stage stuff like that, come up with chants, those things when they hold up pieces of paper and it paints the club's symbol or something. Stuff like that.
For the top clubs they can be thousands strong, and even have rival groups that support the same club.

Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 8:06 amOur chants originate from witty motherfuckers in a pub. Experiencing matchday's like bein part of an unorganised military faction.

Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 9:32 amYeah we don't have meetings where we all learn the songs and dance routines. Pretty much one drunk guy sings the song he just made up on his own and then everyone joins in.

You're either totally wrong, or Europeans just don't get matchday.

Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 10:28 am"European" typically refers to mainland Europe. We're classed as British, and the Swedes, Danes, etc. are Scandinavian. And, awesome as that video is, that kinda shit is why Europeans don't get matchday. It's not a place to be creative or owt. Matchday is what it is. Football, beer, and mob mentality.

Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 11:03 amSpurs and Madrid have signed a 'partnership agreement'.
Translation? They get all our best players now rather than UTD?
"The partnership agreement will see the two clubs working together in respect of players, coaching, best practices and commercial relationships."
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said: "The strong relationship and affinity between our two clubs has resulted in the cementing of a longer-term partnership and the successful transfer of Luka Modric.
"We are delighted to welcome Luka and look forward to working closely with Tottenham in the coming years."
Levy added: "Luka has been a terrific player for us and, whilst we preferred not to part with him, we are pleased that it is to Real Madrid, a club with which we now look forward to sharing a long and productive partnership."

Taking part in something like that at a Millwall game would get you so much grief. You turn up and make noise drowning out the other team. That's pretty much it.
