It originated in a small enclave of what is now Eritrea but was formally part of Ethiopia/Abyssinia. A 19th century Scottish missionary spent some time with a tribe that used to chant something akin to "thursunly wunmatatila, wunmatatila, wal kinalon sin ingason wal kininna matatila wundala" which literally translates as: "Killing Matila men, Matila men, we love to shoot and disembowel Matila and kill them".

He couldn't help but chuckle that it sounded like "There's only..." and brought it back. The rest is history.

Every days a school day you sir know your apples.

As much as I hate that chant , the chant that signals a load of football casuals have latched on to the fighter...


...I hate that drum-banging England supporters band just a notch higher. With their farty trumpets and 3-song repertoire.

[thepocketrocket]

I hate the football fan mentality that has taken over boxing.

I remember when Harrison fought McCullough. AAA was fighting Malinga on the undercard, and a group of fans were singing 'its too fcking' easy to that Guantanamerra tune. Peter Harrison stormed over, asking who was singing it. A group pointed up to the higher section who were doing it, and Harrison shouted 'show some fcking respect'

Boxing is about respect, and the football yob fanbase is diametrically opposed to that

Proper wank aren't they moronic repetitive drivel.
When I hear it I picture Nick Griffin conducting them.
I don't know why but I associate it with the right wing.

Agree 10,000 %

These jokers all stood together in their Stone Island jackets outside some pub with the caption "We are the *insert football team* Casuals on tour"

Which is usually comprised of some fat and bald 50-year old who really should grow up and act his age, some mid-30's lads whom don't have girlfriends and some 18-year olds who lick both of their arses and think they are some sort of youth division of even bigger, future idiots.

The promoters nearly always foolishly tie a big football match into some local boxer fighting the same night and it ruins it for everyone else when they turn up steaming and singing their crap footy songs.

This is absolutely spot on. I hate these groups of blokes, especially if there is a load of them. The numbers make them feel braver I guess, and they'll be loud, drawing attention to themselves and getting off on the fact that most ordinary people will feel uncomfortable and menaced. It's called being a bully.

I lived in Finsbury Park for years and when Arsenal played you'd get these wankers, sometimes on their own, stomping through the station singing their stupid aggressive football songs, loads of swearing etc, at the top of their voices and there'd be nans and kids about. It's just anti social and I wonder what they think everyone is supposed to think of them, because they obviously want the attention, other than their just a bunch of idiots.

You may have guessed that I don't really watch football.

[whiskey]

It's a sh*t sport that is played by overpaid sh*theads for sh*theads to watch.

The lower leagues where money is not the be-all and end-all, that is focused more on local support and regional talent, is how football used to be before the Jews, Oil tycoons and Arabs arrived and franchised it all.

It's the McDonalds of the sports world for the masses.

Whereas Boxing is a fancy bunch of restaurants where the owners hate each other.

Quite often you will go in because you have seen a delicious menu, but upon being seated your told the guest Chef is no longer involved and the entire menu is out of stock, so a waiter has to cook you a chip butty.

Pretty sure the Hatton song is Winter Wonderland and not Guantanamera. Different tunes mane.

[expe]

After seeing the last few posts about football etc, I think I'll stay out of this one.

Even though i'm a football fan I agree, when Cardiff fans turned up half way through the Enzo fight after coming back from West Ham and chanted "you jack b*stard" Glad it was sounded out with ENZO, ENZO, ENZO

Yeah I agree, because the Hatton fans continued with "Walking along, singing a song, walking in a Hatton wonderland, (and repeat) THERE'S ONLY ONEEEEEE...."

I think quite often they take pride and pleasure from the fact they're intimidating people. I met my brother at Euston station the day Liverpool were playing Cardiff in the League Cup Final; some scouser strolled out and said plain as day (in his best scouse accent turned all the way up to 11) "Ere ya lads look at all these southern pr*cks 'ere, load of soft w*nkers".

I'm a big football fan, and even when I go to see my own team I'm aware of, and avoid the drunken idiots who happen support the same team as me. It's not everyone but there are such a large amount of idiots it taints everyone else unfortunately.

[banjo]

The worst chant in all of sport it does my head in.

On the subject of footy yobs I remember a load came into the bar I used to hang out at, now this bar was a dive and the clientele consisted of goths and bikers, tattooed to fornicate with heavy metal blaring out basically my sort of people, my sort of music and my sort of bar anyway these yobs came in in their footy shirts, why? I don't know, it wasn't a sports bar so there's no telly. One of them glassed the girl on the bar when she refused to turn the music down and it all kicked off it was hilarious, these five lads got fooking mullered, claret everywhere.
