New Original Saints Songs Wanted !!
Im getting fed up with hearing the same old songs week in week out at St Mary's its time we made up a few original songs.
Don't get me wrong im not slating anyone who sits/stands in the Northam/ Kingsland corner, on my travels this season or last in the Premier League I have rarely come across a club with a singing section as vocal or as big as ours, in some grounds you cant tell where their vocal fans are in some cases, from that point of view we can hold ourselves up against anyone in the country, including some of the so called big clubs.
But the dissapointment for me is the lack of original material, most of the songs belted out have been plagiarised from other clubs, you can slag off Manchester United fans for not coming from Manchester or even for the manufactured atmosphere at Old Trafford, one of the things that you cant slate them for though is the reppetoire of ditty's their travelling support will belt out with gusto.
Likewise Liverpool, apart from the obvious You'll Never Walk Alone they also have "Scouser Tommie" a song sung for nigh on 40 years now and the more recent Fields of Anfield Road" the tune stolen from Celtic but the lyrics most definately Liverpool.
I would suggst that anyone who is not familiar with the above songs cant really consider themselves an expert on football songs.
But it isnt just the Northern teams that get in on the act, West Ham & Chelsea in the capital also have an array of songs that put our "We are the Kingsland over here" to shame.
We have the numbers, we have the noise, all we need now is a few witty and quick thinking individuals to come up with some original Southampton themed lyrics to popular tunes.
Surely there are those out there that can do that and i dont just mean changing the odd word or two to suit ourselves, something truly unique and individual to our great club.
We have a headstart on the others in the fact that we already have our anthem but lets start to diversify from the norm, everyone sings most of our repetoire if its not Cortese whoah, it something else at virtually every other club.
There is much talk of the Southampton Way and that needs to be off the field as well, lets show that Saints fans are a different breed from other Premier Clubs
What to read next:
U's Vs Accrington Match Preview As the round of matches over the festive period draws to a close, we have the visit of Accrington Stanley on that most rare of events in our football history, a Sunday afternoon kick-off. If you filter out play-off and cup games, in the league this accounts for just 25 games since we were formed, seven won, six drawn and 12 lost. As you would imagine, Sunday games are generally focussed around Christmas and the New Year, or more recently, Sky-mandated final games of the season. It’s been a pretty positive holiday schedule for the U’s too, eight points from four games, and with other results often going our way, we’re now just two places and three points outside the play-offs.
U's Vs MK Dons Match Preview Happy New Year U’s fans! After two hard fought 1-1 draws away from home across the festive period we kick off the New Year with a home match against Milton Keynes. Tickets look to be selling well, although not in the West Stand it seems, so should be a decent crowd providing MK bring more than their normal coach load. I know it doesn’t count for anything but the calendar year League Two table has us in fifth with 72 points from 46 matches played so 2025 hasn’t been a bad year to be a U’s fan.
Gillingham Vs U's Match Preview First and foremost, I hope you are all having a pleasant Christmas break relaxing with family and friends, and wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. This will be our final match of 2025, with a trip to Priestfield to face old adversary Gillingham, our second game against them this month and our third this season. This will be our 112th game in all competitions against the Gills, a relationship that started with a Ted Davis U’s side winning 2-0 at Layer Road on 27th August 1938. At the final whistle tomorrow we will also be at the halfway point of the season, so considering at the end of September we were 20th, plenty of optimism for the second half of the season.
Crawley Vs U's Match Preview Merry Christmas U’s fans! Boxing Day in proper football leagues means football matches and the U’s face one of their shortest trips of the season as they venture across the Thames to face creepy Crawley. Crawley’s “stadium” is one of the few grounds I’ve gone away with the U’s (the 3-1 League Cup win back in 2019) and it felt like a ground that should be in the National League South but Crawley have been established in the football league since 2011 with two promotions to League One during that time which is impressive given the relative size of the club. We don’t have a huge history against Crawley Town, with just 24 meetings to date of which Crawley have won 11. In fact since that memorable League Cup win we hadn’t managed to beat Crawley until the, not as memorable but probably more important, 3-2 away win towards the end of the 2023/24 season that went a long way to helping us stay in this division.
U's Vs Newport Match Preview And so, Danny and Nicky enter their second century of games managing the U’s, at home to struggling Newport – let’s hope it starts a bit better than the first century finished. There won’t be many games we score three and lose, trouble is there’ll be even fewer where we concede four and win. That being said, I couldn’t fault the first hour of the Salford game, with the U’s in control of a game against good opposition, and on a typically heavy pitch. Then we kind of fell apart, certainly defensively, helped in no small part by a masterclass from ex-U’s Luke Garbutt (how is he only in League 2?). Credit must also go to 250+ of the faithful, a long trip starting at stupid o’clock – they deserved more than that for their support.
