What are your best and worst?

I do quite like "Let em come" at Millwall. A good number that fits well with the club.

I think Palace and their "Glad all over" must be a contender but this is perhaps my anti Palace bias coming out. I think the crappest one is "keep right on", the dreary tuneless dirge sung at Birmingham.

I can't stand 'Mull of Kintyre' at the best of times, let alone when it's being blasted out at a million decibels from those victorian speakers at the City ground. So that's my worst.

Glad All Over isn't that bad to be honest.

Sheffield United's "Greasy Chip Butty" is one of my favourites.

This to be a contender.

Don't mind Norwich's either .... on the ball

And Forests is good but cant remember it , just remember they blast it out before KO

edit - Forgot Coventry's. I vote for that .. . although cant remember its name

The fact that Palace run out to a song by the Dave Clark Five, especially one with a name as drippy as Glad All Over, is something that never fails to make my laugh. Long may it continue, along most other things that Palace do.

I love the fact that our anthem is rooted in local history and not just something chosen more or less at random.

Ours is the best, naturally. Its totally uniquely relevant to our club. Its a pity most fans STILL bin off the stirringly iconic "you can tell them all that we stand or fall" line in favour of nonsensical gibberish "we're going up to win the cup" line. That takes a slight edge off of it, but otherwise, its immense.

Worst is obviously Glad All Over. A completely meaningless piece of 60s tripe by a bunch of no-marks that is literally ONLY used for the big "DUM DUM" drum bit in the chorus. Thats it. It certainly suits the suffocating naffness of that rancid little boil of a club, but as an anthem its the absolute pits.

I think we're on the same page.

Do Reading still come out to Sweet Caroline,or the owners wife's ditty. Either way,it's on a par with Glad all over for sheer naffness.

Blackpool - Glad All Over, because the only thing worse than being Palace is copying Palace.

(and yes, I'm aware of the irony in this and our nickname, but then I still think we should be the Dolphins)

A completely meaningless piece of 60s tripe written and performed by Tottenham fans.

Sorry but that bubbles shite is far worse than glad all over, and the vile drones of YNWA always make me nauseous.

Goodnight Irene ringing out from the gas is alright, but ours is the best of course :thumbsup:

Yes, basically this.

But there are some decent runners-up and some proper shit efforts that are nearly as bad as the Nigel's pathetic crappy "song".

Good: GOSBTS, Men of Harlech, Let em come, Greasy chip butty, Valley Floyd Road (same as Forest use but better when they sing it IMO).
Bad: Glad all over, Glad all over, Glad all over, and Keep right on (although nothing like as bad as Glad all over).

Excellent post all round there. Completely agree with all of that (except Glad all over IS worse than that shite bubbles effort).
