second one is pretty good, could be a chant that goes on for ages. Would need to know which player is coming up next otherwise you get sections of the crowd singing different names lol. alphabetical starting lineup perhaps? I want my european chant to get going. its bloody awesome, my mate who is a COV fan even admited that!

they are all as bad as each other but if there is NO WAY that I will be giving my vote to the cretinous labour party. Will probably end up spoiling my ballot paper by putting Villa chants all over it lol

hopefully they can all fight to the death to see who is left standing. That person can be the leader!

I watched it on Setanta, and noticed the lack of new songs. I think we need to get the people on here that are posting new songs and get together. I might see if I can get to an away game on the buses. Blackcountry what games are you going away to? Unfortunately I am not a season ticket holder and even with booking history not sure I have got enough to get tickets for the likes of Arsenal and Man United. Only went 5 times last season.

Hi General, I know it might be a bit premature but who would be the three teams you would like to see us drawn against for the group stages of the UEFA cup. Would you like three easy teams? or would you be looking for a big game like AC Milan or Seville? We're going through though, we will perform against Litech no doubt!

The more british clubs that win in europe the better the teams become, the better the premiership becomes and ultimately we become better. The very fact that our top 4 are in the top 10 in europe results in us playing better teams which means when we go into european championships we are more likely to beat the opposition because we are playing better teams week in week out. How many chants do we have in reserve for european games?

Land of Hope and glory is a European song. It's English clubs versus everyone else and I think that is where I differ from a lot of football supporters. When it comes to europe I am country not club. I wanted United to win the champions league not because they were just british but because they played awesome football in the tournament. barcelona are overrated and people basically masturbate about how good they are. They are good but United are better. I might get lambasted for it but I would rather an English club win the champions league than a foreign club. Jerusalem is a goodun, most people know it and for a big home game we are winning it should be belted out. I also think we need european chants that are sung only at european games. That is achieved by the lyrics. I have one which would work really well and it's 100% original both in lyrics and the tune I have written it to. Cannot wait for european matches because the atmosphere is going to be mentally awesome!

Leftfield - Leftism Album all the tracks are immense. One of few albums where I love EVERY song on the album.

unfortunately I have no other villa fans that can do away matches. plus I am the only one mad enough to chant a new song on me todd. I did manage to get a chant going at a Warwickshire Derby Match against Worcestershire. "oh, the only thing your famous for is sauce!" even the worcester fans chanted it, happy days.

I am slowly working my way through all these pages and pulling out what I think are the best chants. I am also taking into account peoples posts who positively comment on chants as well. There are a lot of Ashley Young chants that are really good. Also a fair few for Barry. Will put them all into a post and see what you think. Once we have a definitive list we should have them somewhere on here so people can have a look and get to learn them, listen to them or just comment further on them.

Youth Group - Forever Young. (have to listen to the tunes chorus first, otherwise you won't get the melody) Forever young, we want you here forever young Villa wishes you could play forever, forever and ever Forever young, we want you here forever young Villa wishes you could play forever, forever and ever

Can anyone think of any lyrics for ashley young to a tune I have found? Youth Group - Forever Young. The chorus would work very well as a chant!

I think a moderator (with the power/force) should do a poll on new chants for various players/clubs/other Then people should vote for which ones they like the most. In order to do this the chant needs to have the tune/hymn whatever so that people know what tune to sing it to. that milner brazilian chant...I have no idea what the melody is so can't really make a judgement on whether it's any good. Ashley Young is magic, He wears a magic hat, And when we get a freekick, He says I'm having that, He crosses with his left foot, He crosses with his right, Will someone tell Capello, This kid is dynamite That would get my vote for Ashley Young, it's awesome. Once a chant gets the vote (e.g. the Young chant above wins the poll), then it should go into a locked thread where the whole squad is listed and their chant is posted below. That way people on here can read them, listen to the tune and everyone will know it. Only problem is finding a moderator willing to get all the chants for players together and create polls for it. I wouldn't mind doing it but I am not a moderator. Plus I think I am part of the crew on here who is pretty good at making new chants. I am all in favour of using existing melodies (Lord of the dance, pink floyd - the wall, my old mans a dustman etc), but I think new tracks are the way to go as well. I hate to say it but Liverpool are pioneers at this. I heard them using "what's that coming over the hill is it a monster" melody to a chant, and I have chatted to my mates villa, United, spurs, wolves fans and they all agree they absolutely love it when they hear something completely new. It is something that is difficult to achieve but I am sure the key chanters are signed up to this forum and would agree getting some "fresh" chants would be welcomed. I bet we only have about 5-10 chants that are sung regularly. It should be a lot more. Perhaps it is because I compose music and really passionate about miusic in general but I love to have a good old sing song at the game and I definitely do when it's a boring game. If you watch Boca Juniors they are going ape shit for 90 minutes singing, chanting and I know it's a different culture but we should be aiming to up the atmosphere and I think chanting is a KEY part of that. Parents and their kids won't be singing "shit on the city" all the time. But that young chant above is the kind of thing I really would like to belt out. there we go...rant over for another 24 hours lol

I thank you it's yourself and Blackcountryvilla that are putting out the chants, you should take a look at my 'Charmless Club' chant on the previous page, it's pretty decent.

Ashley Young is magic, He wears a magic hat, And when we get a freekick, He says I'm having that, He crosses with his left foot, He crosses with his right, Will someone tell Capello, This kid is dynamite Whoever wrote the tune above is really on form. THIS HAS TO BE CHANTED IT'S IMMENSE!

Blur Charmless Man (about Newcastle but will work with any team pretty depending on name) Your Club is going down the pan How's it feel to be Newcastle fans? No King Kev now whats the plan? Just get yourself a charmless man! Educated in the Giro world You know your stella from your Kronnenberg You still think you're a real big club But your not so **** off down the pub we went: la la la la la la laaaaa (villa) la la la la la la laaaaaa And when you put it all together your the model of the charmless club la la la la la la laaaaaaa (villa) la la la la la la laaaaaaaa

Fleetwood Mac's Everywhere - Can you hear me calling, out your name, You are the Villa and we our the same Sing a little louder, We'll even shout, We're so proud, we will just get the words out Villaaaaaa (oaa ah, Oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Villaaaaaa (oaa ah, Oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Something happ'ning, Hap'ning to me I can't believe the skill that I have just seen We will sing out, out from above, WE WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANY OTHER CLUB Villaaaaa (oo ahh, ooo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Villaaaaa (oo ahh, oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Could be in France, Germany, could be a tough away game in Italy Could be Turkey maybe Spain, Or in Russia, but support'll never wain Villaaaaaa (oaa ah, Oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Villaaaaaa (oaa ah, Oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Villaaaaaa (oaa ah, Oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere Villaaaaaa (oaa ah, Oo ah) Gonna be with you everywhere

Couldn't agree more, if our chants were chefs meals we would be eating Beans on toast every match, we could be pioneers in the chanting world if we could get some of the 90 pages of chants on here onto the stands. 1. Words have to be as easy as possible to pick up and learn (at least the main part of the chant) 2. has to be to a tune many people will recognise 3. Ideally try and fit it to the same rhyming structure as the original tune 4. If not to the original rhyming structure just make it catchy. I write music and think of chants for fun, some are a bit too complex to sing on the terraces but some I think could work well. Lots of other people on here have come up with great chants but sometimes it's hard to know what tune it is. If you think of a chant on here, would be good to put the name of the tune you are thinking of or at least a YouTube link to view the tune. The important thing is we get together and test them out. Tell you what if anyone is going to the home game against Litech on Thursday 25th could try and get tickets in the same area. I am looking for Holte upper ideally, think thats the best place to get these things going.

that's a class chant, bit of tweaking and i'd be well up for singing that one!

Milner is a pretty difficult name to find a tune that fits...

Ofcourse he should. Anyone that put "No" obviously supports the Blue nosed filth!

First 2 lines go really well but the last two line don't seem to flow too well to the tune. "Stand now, wherever you may be, we are the boys of A.V.F.C and we're not scared, we'll never bow to you, cos we are the giants in claret and blue!" Black country villa? you come up with some good chants, you go regularly? Nice one mate, shame our fans aren't creative enough to sing any of them. They'd rather sing 'shit on the City' right after we equalise, the right side of the Upper Holte are the main culprits, always singing daft songs or the wrong song at the wrong time. And yeh i do, Upper Holte K5 I got a fair few chants on the go that I have been posting on here and writing down. I generally go with lads that get so into the game they only make a noise when we score. I make music so I like to try and sing along, but always get the "you Pri*k" looks when I start trying something new. I messaged the general one of my better ones and he said he enjoyed it, so I think it's time we got together to try and publish some chants (the classics) and some new ones, then people can at least make some noise. It's not "awful" to try and get something new into the stands. I don't know how Liverpool and other clubs manage to get new tunes out at such a volume, but they must be doing something. something original and unique is what we need. Like you say singing "shit on the city" right after we score, how tepid is that? we might as well just chant "villa, Villa VILLA" for the full 90 minutes. I don't know how many of you have fans at Blues and Coventry city, but they do think it's pretty funny that whenever they are watching villa they on MOTD all they hear is about 3 chants. My old man shit on the city villa villa villa, possibly do do do do marlon harewood. we need something positive and some refreshing changes on the terraces. It's happening on the pitch, in the coaching and management and definitely in the boardroom so why not try something on the terraces. Unfortunately I haven't got a season ticket but coming into a good job now so next season I will probably be joining you in K5 or K4 but atm I am only going to 4-8 games this season. perhaps put on here or sending ones round the pub of a chant to try out. if it's pants its pants and we move onto the next one. but if it's good then we should keep it. the way I try and write chants is to think of a well known tune and adapt the words to they rhyme similarly. if you look back on page 40 I think I posted on to Fleetwood Mac's everywhere. Even my work colleague who supports Sky Blue's began singing it, and the General seemed to like it. however my greatest achievement was getting warwickshire cricket fans to chant "The only thing your famous for is sauce" to Worcestershire fans...people loved it and it does bring people to smile when you hear a good new chant.

(to blues if they are still in relegation contention when we play them and we're still in contention for europe) We don't need no relegation, we just want to go abroad (as in europe) We just think your f*ckin awful, Hey Goldie, liquidate your club, all in all your just a, another sh*t on the board. (as in himself and the fact blues are in the prem)

First 2 lines go really well but the last two line don't seem to flow too well to the tune. "Stand now, wherever you may be, we are the boys of A.V.F.C and we're not scared, we'll never bow to you, cos we are the giants in claret and blue!" Black country villa? you come up with some good chants, you go regularly? I think we could certainly get some awesome lyrical chants going down the Holte end. Perhaps dish out some flyers. I don't know about people on here but we need more variety in our repetoire. Even spurs are coming up with inventive chants for christ sake. lol

We need to try and put pressure on teams at home in the first 30 minutes. First 10 might be asking a little much as players need to settle down and get hold of the game. But I certainly think at Villa Park they need to really push teams back into their halves regardless of who they are. I also think that the crowd sometimes can be a bit tepid, I for one really do give it my all and yes sometimes I do look like a fool chanting stuff that no one else has any idea (songs etc that I make up) but the point is I am making noise. The away fans should rarely be heard but more often than not they are the ones making the noise. That said yesterdays game didn't really give us much to cheer about, but I do think for the first 15 minutes the noise level in the ground should be bordering on mental.
