If you ask any die hard football supporter to explain a major reason for splashing out so much money on following their team, many would suggest that incredible atmosphere at the matches is a huge factor.
Thousands of fellow supporters and opposing fans face off each week, and battle to be heard from the terraces. This is all in hope that their passion filters from the stands, to the players on the pitch.
There are many famous club anthems to be heard, each resonating with a club’s proud history. However, once in a while there are those rate comic gems that allow us all bit of harmless banter.
Here are our top 10 Funny Football Chants.
10. Manchester United fans sing to West Ham striker “Are you a man or a woman.” In a United v Liverpool match at Old Trafford.
9. Motherwell fans in 2007 chanted to Kris Boyd as he warmed up on the sidelines “You’re just a fat Marti Pellow.” Do you see the resemblance?
8. During striker Kevin Nolan’s goal drought many fans sang to him “Kevin Nolan, your chicken is dead”. However, just six minutes after the song was chanted for the first time, the chicken returned.
7. Arsenal fans sing to their occasionally frustrating striker “Cazorla to the left of me, Ozil to the right, here I am stuck in the middle Giroud.”

6. He’s the Machester City goal keeper, he’s England No.1, but most importantly he’s on the head and shoulders advert.
Joe Hart in a home match found himself being made fun of by his own fans.
City fans sang: “Where’s your dandruff gone, where’s your dandruff gone.” Also “Head and shoulders your having a laugh.”

5. Luis Saurez may have often bit off more than he could chew. But even these chants may have been hard for him to stomach!
Man United fans recently sang to the Uruguayan striker: “Your teeth are off side, your teeth are offside, Luis Suarez your teeth are offside.”

4. Queens Park Rangers fans often berate striker Bobby Zamora when having a bad game with the ditty: “When you’re sat at row Z and the ball hits your head that’s Zamora.”
Slightly harsh when the 2 capped England striker scored some belters like this one.

3. The song ‘It’s Magic’ by band, Pilot is almost perfectly made for Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick. “It’s Carrick, hard to believe it’s not Scholes.”

2. Swansea midfielder couldn’t have felt flattered when West Ham fans gave him a likeness to the Dark Lord himself voldemort. “Harry Potter he’s coming for you.”

1. Few were more surprised than Striker Peter Odemwingie that his proposed move to QPR fell through.
His live interview on Sky Sports, just before this transfer debacle only embarrassed him further.
Opposing fans left little chance if him soaring his blushes with this beauty – sang to the tune of chart topping ‘Call me maybe’: “Hey my name is Peter, Odemwingie. I’m in your car park so sign me maybe.”
