You've never won f**k all

[Rawlie19]

If you'd ever been to school you would know
That the words that you've just sung do not go
Try again you illiterate collective
What you've sung's a double negative
If you'd ever been to school then you would know

[loyalroyal4life]

doesnt winning the championship 05/06 count?

[papereyes]

To be fair mate I did them a disservice as I wasn't aware that Wolves actually did the double in 1988....



Division 4 title AND the Sherpa Vans Trophy

lol

Would be nice to have a chant about the 106 point season too

Something along the lines of - "You'll never get one oh six" -in response to all those "We are top of the league" chants, apologies if this doesn't fit I know nothing about chants

[who are ya?]

Tom Hark seems to be one of the only tunes most Reading fans can grasp quite easily, so that maybe?

[Focher]

to the tune of 'you're so loud you sound like Aldershot'

"we have won the Berks Bucks senior, clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap"

[readingbedding]

Classic chant sung by fans of teams who have delusions of grandeur, usually losing, frustrated and usually against teams like ourselves.

Long may it continue.

"we have won the Berks Bucks & Oxon, clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap"

No we haven't. And nor has anybody else.

Going back earlier in the thread, how about "That's a double negative" using the Paolo di Canio chant.

Listened to 606 on drive home last night. Danny Baker had a thought going; if some fascist dictator decreed that there could only be 20 clubs in Britain, and that they had to define some sort of characteristic of the game, then what would your team represent. He started by saying that Man Utd would be in representing success/glamour/arrogance/money etc.

Some people offered things like PNE and Huddersfield for ancient success. First double. First to win three consecutive titles etc. He rejected this as non-representative. Not about records, but what you are. He preferred Lincoln City's claim to be eternal losers -bankruptcy, manager arrested 5 mins before a game, first team relegated from league. First to lose to a golden goal etc.

So what would we be? I think we struggle a bit to sound uniquely....anything.

Could go for the somewhat self deprecating... The most quaintly middle class? The most businesslike? I mean Waitrose as shirt sponsor...beats Delia.

Using a Danny Bakeresque RFC is a nice auntie kind of side, we'll make you a nice cup of tea and bake you a cake.
She's always been around but rarely visited, she's hard to dislike.

F**k all
You've never won f**k all
You've never won f**k all
You've never won f**k all
You've never won f**k all

Building on the schooling them, and to the same tune as above :

School
Have you been to school
Have you been to school
Have you been to school
Have you been to school

Simple, so will catch on.

Always makes me smile when opposition fans sing this at us given that it's a double negative so, in fact, they are implying we've won lots of things.

Despite wracking my brains, I've yet to think of a witty reply though. Can't imagine singing 'That's a double negative...' to have much of an impact. Any ideas?

As English grammar does not take its rule directly from mathematics this is fact completely fine. What the speakers are doing is actually emphasizing the negative, there is no rule against it.

Although in this specific case they are probably far too thick to realize they are quite correct...

mmm ... so English teachers throughout the years have been cruelly punishing children unneccesarily ? Not sure.

Can't disagree with the last bit though

This is true. I couldn't quite pluck up the pedantry to say it myself.

I disagree.

However, if they did sing You've never never won anything, it might be ok as emphasizing the negative. But they sang You've never won f*** all. Now, we know f**k all means nothing and therefore saying You've never won nothing would mean that you have won something.
