No one likes us, we don't care

No One Likes Us, We Do not Care ( No one likes us, we do not care ) is the traditional fan chant of fans of the London football team Millwall FC. It is sung to the tune of Rod Stewart song Sailing. The Millwall fans sing it at the beginning of the game, or when a goal is scored. It is a central element of the identity formation of the Millwall fans, and known throughout the English football.

The song gained its popularity in the 1980s in the aftermath of the riots in the Cup game against Millwall Luton, in which there were 81 injured. The song plays on Millwall infamous reputation as a club of hooligans, and celebrates the outsider. The complete text is:

We are Millwall, super Millwall We are Millwall from The Den!

In the Millwall song is so connected with the club, both an important fanzine No one likes us, another Some One Likes Us, as well as the standard work on the fan culture of the club. Another book about the club wearing this item, as well as a Millwall documentary of 1990. During the riots in London, 2011, allied Millwall fans with other football fans from South London, and protected their neighborhoods under singing of No One Loots Us.

In Glasgow, the song line was taken over by the fans of Glasgow Rangers. First, they emphasize that their close ties to England, and on the other the outsider within the Scottish fan scene. As the Millwall fans and the Rangers fans have to be feeling unjustifiably vilified by the press, while their local rivals Celtic are a media darling.

Since then, it became internationally known by Millwall, the song has undergone numerous variants. In England, for example, sing the unpopular club FC Wimbledon and Milton Keynes Dons, Nick Hornby takes the song in fever pitch for Arsenal in claim in Germany sing it, for example, the fans of FC St. Pauli.

The special connection to Hooligantum in this millennium showed, among other things by the BBC documentary from 2002 on hooligans who was entitled No One Likes Us.

In the British media, the slogan has become proverbial. He has already served to describe investment bankers, such as the Chinese delegation in international climate negotiations, or the British Labour leader Ed Miliband.
