“We Want 10!” Chant Lyrics

WE WANT TEN!
WE WANT TEN!
WE WANT TEN!

(clap-clap / bounce / repeat)

Variations include “We want eight!”, “We want nine!”, or fans counting up from the current score. The rhythm changes by stadium — but the message never does.

Meaning It’s the crowd pushing a dominant team to keep attacking — and yes, twisting the knife. The chant usually appears when the score is already lopsided and supporters sense a historic margin within reach.

Why “We Want 10!” Is Trending Again

Modern football produces more dramatic scorelines than ever. High pressing, aggressive tactics, and goal difference battles mean teams rarely ease off the gas.

• Highlight culture: A 7-0 goes viral. A 10-0 becomes folklore.
• Goal difference races: Every goal can matter in tight tables.
• Derby energy: Rivalries remove the idea of mercy.
• Social amplification: Viral clips encourage copycat chants.

When Fans Usually Sing It

The chant typically erupts after the fifth or sixth goal, especially if the team slows down and the crowd demands one more. It can also break out when a club record or historic win margin is within reach.

The Banter vs. Brutal Debate

It lives somewhere between celebration and humiliation. Football crowds thrive on emotional extremes — and this chant is pure theatre when dominance turns into spectacle.

How to Sing It
