I know exactly what you mean, but in some ways it makes it even more enjoyable, when a team like little old Brighton, gives one of the top 6 as smack by beating them!
Brings back many great memories of the Withdean, when just because we were playing in a crap little stadium with very few fans, and next to no atmosphere, everyone thought we would be a pushover, yet so often we proved them wrong.

Nothing wrong with people taking the piss out of the phrase itself when it's used unironically by other fans, but to me it feels ever-so-slightly tinpot for the official club comms to put out stuff like this. Though I appreciate that, being the wrong side of 40, I am a dinosaur who is utterly out of touch.
I love it now, and glad the club have started using it too.................

I'm not sure what's 'tinpot' about it – I quite like the way the club has embraced it and used it to good effect.
I'm the wrong side of 40 and I find the phrase hilarious. I use it all the time
I see it more as ignorance rather than arrogance and quite amusing means it hurts these bellcheeses that bit more.

If you don't refer to the club's social accounts as "ADMIIIINNN" and "ANNOUNCE AWAY KITTTTTT" then I think you might be right about the dinosaur bit

I do hope we have not wound up those big boys with deep pockets.
Great clips though.

Haha, I'm childish and that made me chuckle! The tune that goes with it, adds to it! I do hope that NSC has been given a contribution from BHAFC for nicking the idea from the banner hashtag. 
The thing is I can kind of understand it from the kiddies who support the big 6 clubs. It’s when you see the likes of West Ham, Villa or (dare I say) Leeds using the phrase that I find it properly hilarious.
