I was hoping we could aggregate some of the best football songs and chants in one place. It's one of my favorite things about footy, and makes for an atmosphere that you don't see in professional sports in the US. I'd love to see videos, hear lyrics, whatever...let me know what your team does or other songs/chants you love.
A couple of starters:
I love Irish folk music, and love the song Fields of Athenrye, but the performance by the Irish fans at Euro 2012 against spain was so awesome. The chorus of the song is sung with such defiance towards the results of the game and such love for their team. I watch this video every few months just to get goosebumps.
Too catchy and funny to not post, just a legendary chant. Apparently the Wigan Chairman gave the guy who invented it a season ticket.
As far as chants go, I've always been partial to the "Where were you when you were shit?" or the "You're just a shit (insert rival club)" Another good version is the "Are you just (insert shitty club) in disguise?"
I'll post a Wednesday specific one later, but throw whatever you've got in here.

He will score goals, he will just score more and more, and that's what we signed him for
Will Griggs on fire, your defense is terrified!
