Brumstopdogs Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Villa away to Southampton a few years back. We were losing 2-1 and this was at the height of the "EASY!" chant and the Saints fans were taking the mick. Two goals later (with Villa 3-2 up) and the whole Villa end doing the "EASY" chant back. The look on this particular Saints supporter's face when the whole end were pointing at him and he just got up and walked out. Priceless. Seem to recall Mathew Upson getting some stick at Villa Park when he got injured too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I guess Brian Little is my favourite Villa player of all time and that was absolutely his best season. Such a shame injuries cut his playing career short. some of his footwork was priceless.....his balance and poise is just something to dream about now. to top it all.....great fella too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Forget which game exactly but hearing the Holte chanting "What the **** hell is that?!" at Iain Dowie while he was warming up on the touchline is one that always sticks with me.

kevangrealish Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I seem to a recall a load of drunk villa fans doing the conga on a train back from london to the sound of 'Dududuuuu The eric djemba djemba' after he'd left us... as a kid, that was one of the funniest moments ever. Just left my dad and uncle with my brother and cousins and joined in.The odd drunk falling over and we went past the whole train getting the most disguisted looks ever. Man, how I miss the away games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My garden shed (my garden shed) Is bigger than this (is bigger than this) My garden shed is bigger than this It's got a door and a window My garden shed is bigger than this Singing this at smaller away grounds is always a favourite. I remember the first time I heard us sing this, at an away game in 1998. I was pissing myself! I'm usually one of the first ones to try to get it going these days ha ha. There have been loads of great ones but this one is definitely up there for me! The John Carew chant always made me laugh as well, mainly because he'd always turn around and clap us, even when the game was in progress and the ball was in play! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My personal favourite, going back 4 years to that cup quarter final against Reading (2-0 down at half-time then we banged in 4 in the second half). I was squirreled away in the home end and, as such, keeping myself to myself. That was, until the Reading fans started an enthusiastic rendition of "Emile Heskey's **** shit". I joined in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually funnier when sung at the really big grounds, I find Sheff Utd sung a weird version of it on the train to Witton the other week - My garden shed's as big as this My garden shed's as big as this it's got a doooorrrr and windows My garden shed's as big as this They're doing it wrong!

AndyM3000 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure I remember this chant last season, after losing to Chelsea 8-0 and Spurs 4-0, Wigan then came and won 3-0 and we started chanting 'How shit must you be, you've only scored 3'. Don't think it lasted very long, most people had left and the ones still there were too depressed to even join in. Another was Liverpool away, Marlon Harewood came on when 1-0 down and scored an overhead kick. We didn't have a proper chant for him at the time so when 'Du, du, du, Marlon F***ing Harewood' broke out it was pretty funny and continued through the rest of the game and outside the ground. I liked the Ashley Young chant, Claret Ribbon when on a cup run, and the one for MON which started with 'When I was young, I had a dream..' A not so good one was the 'Eduardo' chant at Arsenal but everyone joined in purely because of how angry it was making the Arsenal fans. They actually got up off their seats and started throwing their arms around, very aggressive that for Gooners.

That's reminded me of the 6-4 against Blackburn. They started singing "Heskey's shit my lord" too which we replied "Heskey scored my lord". I also maintain that me and my mate started that from the Lower north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never liked "My garden shed" and "All I care about" chants, they're my least favourite chants of all time (not knocking those that do BTW) It was great being able to sing "Seven times we've won it no-one else can catch us up" - sadly there's a few clubs that have caught us up and won the FA cup more times than we have.

TRO Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) when i used stand on the old Holte, I would be about 13/14 and we used stand behind some older lads in their early 20's....This was around the time of skin heads and football thuggery at its height These guys were "jack the lads" more interested in other things than fighting. they used to bellow out a tune that used make us chuckle, it goes like this, excuse the language... Eyes right foreskins tight bollocks to the front We are the boys that cause no noise but we’re Always after c***, we’re the heroes of the night And we’d rather f*** than fight ..we’re the heroes Of the dougal fusiliers. with rendition in unison of .......Oi oi oi oi oi Thats if i can remember it all, what it had to do with football and Villa, I'm still trying to work out, but it sounded impressive with a load of lads bellowing it out in aggressive tones. those were the days, when boys were boys.....just joking Edited January 30, 2014 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 That would have been the old Dougal mobs chant, I was a member, there were well over a hundred of us if everyone turned up, we followed the Villa to every match and were well known all over the country by fans and players, indeed we had a few Villa youth players in our ranks now and again Jake Findlay, Bobby McDonald, Brian's brother Alan Little and others that I have forgot. Those days, the early 70`s till early 80`s were without doubt the best time to support the Villa, Sadly I know a lot of us are now Holte Enders in the Sky, myself (Mickey Price) and Keith Bryenton who the lyrics for Hole Enders in the Sky still sit on the Lowe Holte End, so if any of you old uns could come and see us in row CC134, we love to see you as we are trying to arrange a Dougal Mob reunion, the likes of Jinksy, Reggae Ray, Mickey Standbridge, Foxy, Goldie, Bobby Haywood Steve Elmer, were are you UTV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted April 3, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2015 When we were beating Small Heath 5-1 at home, and singing "We're the pride of Birmingham". It was so loud, and so true. I was going through a tough time in my life, suffering from depression while living in Amsterdam. I'd not been moved back home long, maybe about 6 weeks, and I just remember feeling so overwhelmingly happy and so at home for the first time in about 8 months. It still makes me well up thinking about it now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was good friends with Bobby Mac, Jake Findlay and Andy Gray.....I also know foxy. In Andy's Hay day we used to frequent the Aero club and our little group was dubbed the. "box of toys" boys being boys I guess. Those were great days to be a villa fan....could write a book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
