Surprised if I haven't already mentioned this one...? My favourite was in the FA Cup 1st round a few years ago when we were playing the mighty Sheffield Wednesday up at their joint. There were about 1500 Salisbury fans, in a 40,000 seat Stadium, losing 4-0. Some wag behind me shouts across to the Owls fans: "We've got a bigger Cathedral than you have!" Then another wag rejoins from nearby "Look!! That's got 'em rattled!!"

Got a lot of League of Ireland ones - although these are a mix of comments and funny stuff:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alan Gough, the Cork sub keeper, was warming up at half time during a game - saving shots in front of the Shed at Turner's Cross when the lad shooting knocked the ball into the fans, who refused to give it back.
Goughie hops the wall and heads into the middle of the Shed, there's stunned silence for a few seconds and the next thing, a pair of goalie gloves appear above the crowd as Goughie jumps up and down chanting. He spends the rest of half time in the shed having the laugh and heads back to the bench when the teams came back out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of my favourite moments was in a first division cup match against Galway United. I was just behind the Galway goal when the ball broke in the box. Robert Forde in goal screams at Billy Clery, the Galway defender, 'Put it away Billy'.
Clery takes a mad swipe at a volleyed clearance which skidded off his boot, over his shoulder and high into the net. Probably not what Forde meant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Drogheda United last got promoted, they played Shels in Tolka near the end of the season after they had lost the league to Bohs and we needed to win to make the playoffs at least - I'd gone up to watch this game - mainly to laugh at Shels for giving us the League.
Drogheda were 1-0 up and down to 10 men, Jim O'Neil reffing, and the ball is kicked out into the Riverside Stand with all the Drogheda fans in there, about 200 odd of them.
They begin to hold onto the ball and waste some time and then as the ref was getting annoyed, some guy stood up on a seat at the front and started spinning the ball on his finger like he was a Harlem Globetrotter, right in front of the ref and Shels player Owen Heary, while the ref was pointing to his watch telling your man to hurry up.
The rest of us were cheering your man on. Even the Drogheda players were laughing at it.
This went on for at least 1 minute or so. It made such a nervous night that much better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Dublin City scored their opener in the Relegation playoff at Dalymount against Shamrock Rovers (who we hate with a passion) I was queueing up at Leo Burdock's Chip Van inside the ground. This rabid Rovers fan jumped out of the queue ran over to the side of the pitch and started thumping the sponsor board like a mad man and roaring. He then retook his place in the queue, temporarily regained his composure, then snapped and did it again. Schadenfraude at it's finest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bohs v Skerries in the FAI Cup a few years ago, Bohs had a throw and some auld lad from Skerries ran to the hoardings and threw his program at Bohs defender Simon Webb and started going beserk at him. Webb's response was pure class, he calmly picked up the program, went over to the crowd, asked for a pen, signing an autograph on the programme, and handed it back to the guy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaun Maher pulling out a Cryuff turn on Youri Djorkaeff in out UEFA Cup tie against Kaiserslautern has to be up there, and all the Bohs fans chanting, "You can stick your world cup medals up your arse", Maher made him look like a fool that night!

A selection of my favourite chants i've heard or been part of: Man Utd Vs Lierpool - "Steve Gerrard Gerrard, he kisses the badge on his chest, then hands in his transfer request, Steve Gerrard Gerrard."Man Utd Vs Liverpool - *Directed at Peter Crouch* "Does the circus, does the circus, does the circus know your here?!!" & "What the f******, what th f******, What the f****** hell is that?!?! What the f****** hell is that?!" Man Utd Vs Newcastle - "Cheer up Alan Shearer! oh how can it be, for a, sad Geordi b****** and a s*** football teeeaaammm!!" Gary Neville Chant - "Gary Neville is a red, is a red, is a red, Gary Neville is a red..." - The rest of that may be offensive to some people from the North West More to come as i remember them.

The BBC Sport site has been sent some crackers for inclusion in their regular Quotes of the Week feature.
One of my favourites was Colchester and Norwich fans competing with each other with the line "We hate Ipswich, we hate Ipswich, WE HATE IPSWICH MORE THAN YOU!" ;D

A similar chant to the Villa one went around opposition's home grounds a season or two ago whenever Birmingham's finest were in town.
"Have you ever seen Villa win the league? Have you ever seen Villa win the league? Have you ever seen Villa, ever seen Villa, ever seen Villa win the league?"
After a while of this, a group of Villa away fans - about 20 of them - all old enough to remember 1981 (OK, so it was 25 years ago *sob*) waited until the end of the last bit and shouted back at them, in unison, "YES!"
You really had to be there.

Couple of good Priory Lane ones... (When, as Langney Sports in the Dr Martens Eastern Division at Christmas-time 2000, putting five past Wisbech Town for the second time that season) "Oh I wish it could be Wisbech every game...!" And another festive one, to Lewes fans ahead of the Boxing Day derby in 2004... "We wish you a relegation, we wish you a relegation, we wish you a relegation and the Ryman next year!" OK, you had to be there too...

Oh more than twice! Much more. Yep. Martello is a child prodigy. At only six months of age he can already think up the most lovely and sometimes even comprehensible football related forum posts, although because his hands are too small to use a keyboard he has to dictate to his dad, who does the actual typing. Use of the mouse is of course out of the question. He is also a qualified referee, and looks really cute in his black romper suit.

The "W" is William Shakespeare, who did more writing than martello on a good day. He apparently wrote lots of sonnets, which are quite nice with custard and a Jammie Dodger.
