Just watching the EPL highlight show, GO YOU SPURS, there was a chant in the Pompey Newcastle game that I liked but couldn't hear words ( maybe pissed, maybe deaf ) it went Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da
We are Mariners, Mariners we are
Over and over Louder and louder
Anyone feel this could be added to the A list.

Another alternative,
How are we are, we are Mariners
Over and over and over Louder and louder and louder
I thought Friday night chants were like an english Prem game.
Over and over, louder and louder,
I have a friend over here and he supports Plymouth Argyle, he loved the game and the chants. It's about monotety ( if that how you spell it, take good photos, can't spell ), not variety. Graft, graft, graft

lensman- you raise a good point about the monotony thing. While it's nice to sing lots of different songs, it would be brilliant if we could get a song going and just keep it rolling for ages. There's a few bonuses- there's constant noise, other people can learn the song and we can develop a sound that is unique to the mariners.
the bling boys try it (sort of) with some of their chants, and it is helping to get a lot of people to know some chants to begin with, so they're comfortable joining in, and then they can build it from there.
things like 'mariners CLAP CLAP CLAP' are kinda dull, but there are other things that we might be able to get rolling... eventually, it would be good to be able to have the marinators start a song, and gradually (perhaps over 10 or more repetitions) it rolls like a wave over the rest of the stadium and builds to a crescendo. at the moment most of the songs roll through once or twice and then peeter out, making it hard for newbies or people from other bays to join in because once they start, we're stopping.

a few 'wave' sort of chants that will hopefully just wash over the ground would be stuff like: come on you yellows laurie mckinna's yellow army, clap clap, clap clap clap MA-RIN-ERS, OH-WAY-OH! MA-RIN-ERS, OH-WAY-OH! the over and over type chants, and the 'we are the mariners' (i'd love to see the marinators leading and the rest of the ground following') trying to get the E-I-E-I-E-I-O chant to get to "and this is what we sing" and then lead into a longer rolling chant.
if we wrote a longer version of 'yellow football team' to perhaps carry across a coupla verses it could become for the mariners what 'you'll never walk alone' is to liverpool or what 'i'm forever blowing bubbles' is to the hammers. we don't yet have a scarves up, sing til your ears bleed sort of song...

Being a West Ham fan, "Im forever blowing bubbles", I think, would be a great song 4 us 2 sing. Ever hear 40,000 people ALL sing the 1 song, actually at the same time, BLOODY MAGIC.

can i make a suggestion? love you boys, love your noise but you really need to do fewer songs to the tune of yellow submarine... sitting in a different part of the crowd, a few people mentioned how irritating it is.....

good point ms canada. i did find that we do sing that song just a little to much. and it would just get confusing if we did end up singing more versus of it. i like the idea of a rolling song, but what? and id love to here more of the disco chant, but with different words. i know im asking allot, but i will try and think something up. cause if you wanna get the crowd involved you gotta dumb it down a bit, no offense to anyone. its like newspapers, not everyone can read the same one, cause theres different shall we say intelligence levels.

song for next home game: [tune: glory glory]
the famous perth glory went off to rome to see the pope the famous perth glory went off to rome to see the pope the famous perth glory went off to rome to see the pope and this is what he said- f*** off!
who the f*** are perth glory? who the f*** are perth glory? who the f*** are perth glory? and the mariners keep sailing on
can replace "who the f***" with "who the hell" and "f*** off" with "piss off" etc... and it can obviously be adapted for the opposition each week.

that's a fair question - i don't think it does, nor do at least 90% of the songs that we or other teams sing. in the points i raised before it wasn't swearing that i was concerned about, but i won't rehash the whole thing here.

Good work Dibo. I have always loved this one (not just because it was origionally an anti-man ure chant), but because it sounds really great when boomed out. In saying that, i can scarcely think of a worse song to 'dilute'. It didnt work for 'get into 'em' last week and if we tried it with this it will make some people wince!!! Particularly on the first "f*** OFF!!!" which really needs to be yelled out at full volume We werent pulled up on friday night were we? I also like the simplicity of: ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK-ATTACK-ATTACK!!!!!

My personal view would be to keep the bad language out of the chants. Lets face it, we all want more people at the games, and i know that family attendance is a focus of the mariners.
Lets not give people a reason for keeping the kids away from the games.

In light of Kevin Muscats elbow into John Hutchinsons head towards the end of the game last friday, i propose a chant which is a modification to an existing for Kevin Muscat (#2)
Number 2, Number 2 Your old, Your through Your not a socceroo... Number 2, Number 2

The attack chant can be very effective, but it did used to make the old bill a bit nervous in a London derby, especially away at Millwall!

Warming up for the Newcastle Jets away match, here's a possible tune:
(to the tune of you are my sunshine) You are a Bogan A smelly Bogan You're only happy on dolecheck day Your mum's a stealer Your dad's a dealer Please don't take my hubcaps away
