A generous 7, mate. Don’t mind it, just a bit wordy for it to catch on imo. We had a song for Edmundson to that tune a few years ago but it never took off. |

We can’t take one of their players and not lord it over them in his song. |

Spotted this one in Sorrento back in April. One of our designs which was last sold about five years ago, so probably been there a while.

I wasn’t there but it didn’t sound too bad on the TV.
Our end was better first half, Southampton’s better in the second. |

I usually hate the look of sponsors, particularly arm and back of shirt ones, but I actually quite like it. |

Reply | Sunderland fans setting quite a high bar on the TIFO front
at 09:20 17 Aug 2025
That’s not a tifo, it’s a corporate agency display. A tifo is made by fans, and no fans were involved here (apart from holding up the sheets obviously) - it was organised and paid for by the club, and outsourced to a printing firm. Same as their last one, same as Wolves yesterday (their fans paid for some of it but), same as Aston Villa and Arsenal etc last season.
I know most ‘normal’ fans don’t care about any of this, but perhaps they should. This is clubs taking something that’s grown organically amongst football supporters in Europe and around the world for over 50 years for themselves, but cutting out the part that actually makes it worthwhile and meaningful. The fan groups in England that also do this are bad enough, but clubs themselves should be nowhere near these things.
It’s an insult to the groups that spend countless hours organising and creating their own displays, and to the fans that help fund them. Anyone can send a few emails to a printing firm, sit back and have everything done for them, but what’s the point? Where’s the pride? It’s not much different to someone using AI to paint them a picture, hanging it in an art gallery and claiming it holds the same weight as the one next to it that’s been painted by an actual artist, with actual paint brushes. Yeah it might look neater, but is it really better? The tifo’s our group produces may not look as ‘polished’ as these perfectly printed banners that are becoming the norm in England, but is that really the way we want to go? Clubs and groups taking the bits they want from ultra culture, but discarding the principles that it was built on.
There’s around ten fan groups in England that do put the time and effort into their own actions and displays, and almost every one is constantly facing battles with their clubs, authorities, and even their own fan bases. None of us are really wanted by our clubs because we’re a nuisance to them, but we all carry on for the love of our football teams, and to try and improve the sanitised nature of modern football stadiums. I know tifos have only been a thing for 15/20 years in England, but If we accept and support clubs in hijacking this element of fan culture, we’re just allowing them to take away something that should only be in the hands (and only made by the hands) of supporters.
I’m aware this all sounds rather hyperbolic, but being part of an active group becomes a big part of life, and I see this club printed tifo trend becoming a big threat in helping clubs to further squeeze us all out.
Reject printed agency displays, embrace handmade fan displays. |

I remember holding up an A4 piece of paper saying “MATTY, DON’T GO!” in the Upper North Stand that someone called hardcore_ipswich on another forum had printed and handed out before a game.
Was my first foray into any kind of ITFC activism. |

Woolfy was round mine this morning picking up a few pyros.
He said he had Omari tied up in the boot of his car, but I think he was joking. |

My 10 year old scored a winning goal last season and ran to the oppositions parents, stood there and sssshhh’d them. They’d been acting like arșeholes the whole game so it was well deserved and put them in their place. |
