I’ve not thought of many ‘strange chants’ for a while now, I suppose most things football fans chant are reasonably self explanatory and don’t really qualify as being strange (plus there seems to be a general dearth of genuinely witty new chants surfacing from the fans these days, with the odd one-off exception at away [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these, this one I can’t remember much before the late 90′s, and is generally used as a ‘put down’ I suppose. It’s ubiquitous amongst Forest and just about every other set of fans I’ve encountered, and I find it ever-so-slightly odd and a bit banale (although [...]

Definitely not a Forest-only chant, although we seem to have a slight variation compared to most teams. But you will hear this from fans ranging from Manchester United or Chelsea, right down to the Boston United or Notts County’s of this world; and frankly, well, for the vast majority of us it’s a very strange [...]

Since ’tis the festive season (despite still being November – let’s face it, if you go by the average shop in town then Christmas starts in August anyway), I thought it would be amusing to recall a festive chant, that I must admit I’ve not heard in a while – it amuses me as both [...]

I’ve not heard this chant for a while, but generally it tends to come from the Upper Bridgford stand – I rarely hear it elsewhere in the ground on my travels. Last season in particular, there was a phase of hearing it at every game, no matter who the opponents were, no matter how many [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these, so it’s high time we had another one! This one’s quite commonly heard sung by Forest fans (well, not only Forest fans, but we don’t often hear it directed at us) all around the country on their travels, and in particular you might hear it [...]

Some young ‘uns might feel that this chant is purely inspired by Soccer AM‘s now ‘legendary’ wrestler sketches. You’ll see them squabbling with one another in all manner of locations followed by a rendition of today’s strange chant. You all know it. You wait until you’ve scored, or saved a penalty, or maybe when an [...]

This one’s definitely odd, but also pretty hilarious! Rice was signed by Brian Clough when Steve Hodge left his first spell at the club in 1985. Whilst never a world beater, he was certainly not the scapegoat that many Forest fans made of him (heh, some things never change!). The chant goes to the tune [...]

I don’t disapprove of this one as such, as it’s quite good fun (obviously taken in the spirit of not actually condoning violence), but I definitely think it qualifies as a bit of an odd chant, so here it goes: When I was just a little boy My father bought me a brand new toy [...]

This little number is quite a common one, and is often wheeled out to the inevitable “You’re not famous anymore” type chants we get from all and sundry visiting the City Ground these days, or indeed on our travels, and it goes a little something like this: You’ve never won f**k all! Let’s ignore the [...]
