Why is there a need to sing this song?? It's a total joke, and makes us sound like muppets! It actually makes me cringe when I hear Fulham supporters singing this tosh!!! If I was on the pitch and I heard that song... I wouldn't exactly be impressed if i'm honest! Come on our performances on the road are definitely improving!!!

Really? I thought we were better against Wigan than we were today and the only plus side about our last 2 away games is that we have got points out of them, apart from that we've been shocking to say the least!
I'm not talking about from game to game but in general...... Compare the way we've been playing on the road since Jol took over, with the previous 10 seasons. Under Jols tenure, my thinking going into most away games is that we're going to come away with 3 points, in my time supporting Fulham this is the strongest team I've ever seen and I feel confident in this team we have now.....but what would I know??
Last season we seemed to go into away games looking for a goalless draw and only went for it once we fell behind. We seem to be better this season although I thought the 'lone striker with Ruiz dropping deep' today didn't scream 'aiming for three points'.
But what about the song???

Be happy, not long since we would never have managed to sing that song!!! Definitely an improvement just by singing the song :HD:
I find the song to be hilarious and a true show of British/English self-criticism. Don't see the problem of it.
To hear, 'How s***t must you be, we're winning away' would hardly fill me with encouragement or spur me on, it's probably a bit deflating hearing those words come from your own fans.
I love the song. It's hilarious.

I hate it when I have to agree with the Belgian professor, but agree I must. It's funny and it's Fulhamish ! :scarf:
Well, our away form has hardly been anything to write home about over the past few seasons, and most teams will view us as one of the more likely 3-pointers at their place.
I think the song has its place, it shows a certain Fulhamish humour.
In fairness how bad must Southampton be if they couldn't beat us today.
It was amusing to start with now I do not enjoy it as it seems to wake the opposing team & fans up. I would be happy for it to be binned
Also the "ssssh". If the opposing fans are quiet & it's a library it probably means we are doing ok & why encourage them to create an atmosphere to lift their team

It's called banter, or taking the pee, or winding up the opposition, or just being a bit of an idiot, depending on your point of view.
The old "You'll never play us again" will go down as the ultimate wind-up, I lost count of the number of teams whose fans declared thay would make us eat those words, like we seriously thought it was true. There are probably some out there who still harbour a grudge against us for those fine words.
The "winning away," I think it has its place, though would be happier if it was only deployed when we have a two goal cushion, just in case it does inspire a fight-back.
The "shh!" is funny, like we are ones with a raucous home crowd to boast about.

Shut up you girl. I am going to file a report for wasting 2 minutes of my life reading through this post. What a snore and pointless thing to moan about.
It's funny and if you watched coverage from the interview with JA Riise with Example on Football Focus you'll of seen that even the players know they can't play too well away and I didn't see Riise having a little cry about the chant either. Its funny, we pay our money, travel all over the country and if we want to let them know we expect better, a lighthearted chant is better than constant abuse I have witnessed other clubs subject their players too.
That song is the essence of British humour that no one else in the World understands. I am sure the players take it as a compliment as it is meant to be not as an insult. i am sure the home supporters get the joke as well.
I feel sorry for people who lack a sense of humour their lives must be very sad, lonely and empty.
I've heard a few teams (fans) copy it so there must be something in it
I was at the West Brom away game two seasons ago. This is the chant I most remember because it was hilarious and seemed to give the Brom fans a laugh too. Face it, we suck away, we might as well have a laugh doing it.
I'm looking forward to singing it against Reading. If you don't like it, don't sing it.
I like the song, it's so autoironical and very . . . fulhamish!
Stop the winning away song!!! :026: :026: :026: Get behind the boys!!! :clap_hands: How inspiring is a song that tells our own team that we are surprised that they are winning!!!! STOP IT NOW. COYW is much better
Have just got back from the match after a meal out with Saints supporting mates afterwards. They loved the song and said that it made them laugh. It was the highlight for them, since they thought their boys played poorly throughout.
So we may be getting a little bored with it, but other fans are still enjoying it! :scarf:
I dream of singing this at Stamford Bridge...
I remember singing it at upton park. They took the lead and changed it to '"losing again".
"you've only scored 2, you've onlyyyyyy scored twooooo how sh1t must you be" was our reply.
Terrace banter. Love it

Are you serious or just a muppet???
Continue to sing it it then, I for one think it's the most ridiculous song and won't be singing it. I like to mock the opposing team and fans, not my own!! Anyone I tell about this song, they come back with the nearly the same answer 'mugs ameant to support your own team'.
Some of you need to get a grip and stop calling people names! If you don't like my opinion, give a reasonable answer other than name calling. No I'm not a muppet and I'm not a girl, just don't like to hear 'how s**t must we be' sung to my team.

I thank you.
Off to work now, so at least behave for the next hour or so :dft011:
My one wish is that we can sing it regularly
The saying Pot & Kettle springs to mind!
The word Muppet was first mention by you in your intial post so live with it or go back to the QPHA forum where you most likely came from in the 1st place:028:
Its fun its banter.. its loyal Fulham fans not taking themselves too seriously... it is tongue in cheek... Id be very suprised if any Fulham player collapsed and spat his dummy out when we sing it... now bobby zamora has gone...

Pot & Kettle springs to mind??? Understand what I meant, Initially 'Muppet' was stating a collective group which would include myself as a Fulham supporter, not that I'd sing the song myself!!! .... 'Makes us sound like muppets!' Not calling anyone a muppet personally!
Secondly, I've supported Fulham for 24 years!!! To be told to go back to the QPR forum is the biggest insult I've heard.

Exactly..its a bit of fun at us and the other team. Chill out.
Now people standing in a seating area, that's a discussion we could have......

It's not sung to your / our team. It's sung at the opposition fans "how sh1t must YOU be"

If it is the case that you have supported FFC for 24 years then you should act like it!
The song is banter and has been sung since our victory at reading during the great escape and at every away game we have been leading with ever since, something that you should definiately be aware of since you are as you say a long standing fan.
Its just the same as us singing "Super Fulham etc" because obviously we are not the greatest team that any of us have ever seen.

Oh and if being told to go back to the QPHA forum is the biggest insult you have ever recieved then you are either a Saint or have led a very sheltered life (and i know what my money is on)

Nice one now get back into your cartoon strip!

It's just a song... i enjoy singing it because it means we're winning away.. and its fun. Im 99.9% sure no Fulham player would take any offence.. as it is often sung after wild celebrations...
I see no point in singing The Blue Flag.... but dont care if others do.. i simply dont join in...
Lets not take ourselves too seriously!

Exactly :plus one:
Away days for fans are about having a laugh with your mates, the result very rarely matters. If people want to sing a song taking the piss out of themselves then let them.
What is embarrassing is an away end standing/sitting in silence.
