Does being ocker mean you can't string words together into a song? If you don't practice it will be frustrating having to sit and listen to the poms over the summer win, lose or draw....

Singing songs at sport is a Pommy thing, maybe due to the boredom of soccer?

Just a few short outburst is all thats needed everynow and again rather than a full choir performance. Like "he's going home in the back of a Divvy Van", "Hadleys a W_nker" etc.

Traditionally it's just the winners who get to sing down here.

You've obviously never been to a local football derby iin England and heard some of the songs that are sung and the feeling behind them. The spontaneous ones are my favourite and some can be very funny.

That's a shame because singing generates a great atmosphere and can be quite entertaining in itself.

I've travlled 9 hours to get to an away game knowing there is a good chance we won't get a result, but regardless I'll support my team through song and have a good time doing it regardless of the score. You have to make the most of things...

If you sing too loud how can the Umpy hear the White Maggot comments? Well maybe not white anymore, but yellow and green maggots just doesn't sound right.

We have a long time to get in some bagging of each others teams for the Ashes, should be some good new theories etc to get us whipped into a frenzies before the first bouncer flies past a Pommy head?

It's great to have the Barmy Army here, the breweries make more money than every.

Almost as much as when the Lions tour in Aus..

???? The Brissy Lions are going on tour? Suppose they need to do something after their woefull season. Akka's doing the right thing by heading south. Lions are lost without the AFL overfunding them anymore.

Benny you really need to braoden your horizons, were you a yank in a former life, it's not good to be insular, leave that to the diabetics
