One thing about sports is that they are entertaining, and they don’t just end on the pitch because they have a way to bring the fans to feel the games. It is now a tradition for teams to play music before the match begins, and in football, some teams have anthems to lift the home fans’ spirit for more support.
Some teams even let their fans provide their expert picks and opinions on the matchday playlist to ensure that the fans and the players are in sync. Therefore, there’s more entertainment in sports today, which has been like that for years, especially in the English Premier League. The teams have anthems the fans sing to build their confidence.
In that case, let’s look at the Big Six in the EPL today and their various anthems. If you’re interested, you should keep reading.
1. Manchester United – Glory Glory Man United
A few teams use the Glory Glory anthem for their teams, and one of the biggest in this category is Manchester United. This team has history and tradition forged after the collapse of the 80s. They kept moving forward, and in the end, the group dominated the Premier League for decades.
Even though they’ve been in some kind of rut, going over five years without a trophy, they can hold their head up high and sing Glory Glory Manchester United. The Red Devils will be playing in the Europa League next season in a quest to add to their already boisterous trophy cabinet. And they would love to get their hands on any domestic cups.
2. Manchester City – Blue Moon
Manchester City’s history is marred by multiple relegation battles and time in the Championship. The team has been wallowing in the lower parts of English football, but the takeover in 2008 changed the course of the club, and they’ve soared higher. The team has shone the Blue Moon over Manchester, overshadowing their illustrious neighbors.
For over a decade now, Manchester City has dominated the English Premier League, and the team has won more than any other in that time. The fans are prideful as they sing aloud the Blue Moon song to lift the players’ spirit as they win games and dominate the play in every match.
3. Chelsea – Blue is the Color
Blue is the Color; Football is the Game. We’re together, and winning is our aim. Cheer us on through the sun and rain because of Chelsea! Chelsea is our name.
These lyrics have become loud in London, and every Chelsea fan feels pride when it comes on. They can feel their team winning trophies and dominating competitions.
The team had become the Pride of London, despite their marred history until the 80s when they struggled for first division football. And after a few European glories, the Abramovic takeover saw them soar to greater heights, winning everything in sight. Now, they look forward to what the Bohely era brings to the Pride of London.
4. Liverpool – You’ll Never Walk Alone
In Merseyside, there is only one king, and it is Liverpool. The Reds have dominated the city for many years, and their neighbors, Everton, can only be envious of the team’s achievement. They dominated the league in the 80s, winning many titles. Before the Premier League era, Liverpool was the undisputed champion of the English first division.
Although they’ve lost that crown to Manchester United, the fans at Anfield can still take pride in the team’s recent success as they’ve overcome many challenges. They can sing the You’ll Never Work Alone lyrics as the teams walk out of the tunnel to play the game of football. It then becomes an easy task to dismantle the opponent.
5. Tottenham – Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur
In North London, the rivalry is fierce, and the top two teams in that region go head-to-head every season to see who will get the better stat. It hasn’t been easy for either team. Arsenal used to get a better record compared to Tottenham, but in recent years, the White part of North London has been dominant.
The fans now take pride in their teams as they continue to battle for glory against their biggest rivals. It is not an easy task every season, but they are up to it and can deliver, as we’ve seen in the last few years. The Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur song has become the loudest in the Northern part of the capital for some years now.
6. Arsenal – We’re On Your Side
Arsenal is an agile team that built a reputation on giving youngsters a chance to shine on the biggest stage. The team keeps bringing players from its youth system to let them feel the heat of the biggest stages early on. One could say it hasn’t worked quite well in the past few years as they’ve challenged for any major titles.
The team has been pretty docile since their last league title in 2004 and the champions league final appearance in 2006. However, the fans remain proud and continue to sing – We’re On Your Side to boost the team’s morale and show that they are behind the manager no matter how bad it gets.
