Lack of songs? That just isn't true.
We have plenty of songs, the NSK just want to create some kind of stupid 'ultras' type atmosphere and don't sing the old traditional songs that everyone can get involved with.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Totally agree with Des - its one of the few chants I don't join in with - bin it.

f*** me everyone's bloody miserable on here today. We do hate Palace? If it creates an atmosphere and people join in, why try to kill it? If we try to be elitist about chants, the Amex will turn into a morgue. Des is just too lazy to get off his arse.

I'm well happy today. Just don't like the chant.

without him you might not have a club to support, so f*** off yourself
Complete and utter tosh...he did no more than anyone else. Did he score the goal at Hereford that in all likelyhood kept our club in existence? Do you think that he has ever paid for a ticket for any match he's attended like the rest of us? Did you ever see him partake in any direct action to oust Archer and Bellotti in those dark, dark days like so many of us did? Infact did you? Or were you a Chelsea fan back then? He's NOT the saviour of our football club, so don't put him on a pedestal as if he was, infact i'd say that Norman Cook has done far more to raise the plight of our club than a Z list EX celeb like Des...so with respect sir....you go f*** yourself.

If you all hate palace clap your hands
If you all hate palace clap your hands
If you all hate palace all hate palace all hate palace all hate palace clap your hands.
Agree with others 'Stand up if you hate Palace' should only be sung when we playing them.

Maybe they don't know them?
Also, the NSK are a group of about 20 teenagers in the top corner of the stand. Is it only up to them to start songs then? Anyone else is free to do so, if they so desire. The NSK would be pretty easily drowned out if the rest of the stand started singing.

Uh oh I smell a fest!!!!
Maybe a move to the North to get these CHILDREN into line is in order. Not easy getting songs going in the WSU. Surely there are people who went into the North for the atmosphere that DO know the songs?

Frankly I think it's an age thing. Does it really matter enough to moan about.
It's a song and it makes some noise. And frankly right now I don't think it's a bad thing that the players are constantly reminded that we badly need to beat the scum on the 31st. It struck me that not enough of them put in a shift last time and they need to sort that out for the next game.
I really fail to see any harm in that song.
What is Des doing to get songs going? Er nothing, I thought so. So until he starts to improve the atmosphere with something else I think he should just shut up to be frank.
But I do like the bloke

OK, I stand corrected on that one, but our club was saved by ALL of us, not just Des. I respect his views, but lets not make him out to be our 'saviour' because he's not.

On the one hand Des has a point. On the other hand the chant does remind JCLs and the players that we do have a rival and we do actually hate them.
The low point of this season was seeing the abject performance by the players vs Palace. If, on the other hand, they hear this chant 30 more times this season maybe the message will get through and they'll realise what the fixture means to the fans.

Nice rant
No, I wasn't a chelsea supporter, I've been a northstander since I was seven, so wind it in and calm down. Just thought Des deserved some slack, as did several other posters. Btw, yes of course Norman deserves stacks of credit but that doesn't alter the fact that Des' profile, which was far from z list at the time (think he's kinda retired now - might happen to you one day) helped us too. Now how about you take a deep breath, calm down and cheer up?
