Newcastle United chants have always evolved with the times, and right now, the noise from the terraces is louder than ever. With new fan favourites aplenty, the Gallowgate has found its voice in a new era of pride and belief.
These are the songs you’ll hear ringing out at St James’ Park and away grounds across the country. They celebrate the manager, the players, and the passion that’s surged back into the club in recent seasons. Some are clever, some are simple, and all of them are full of heart.
Many of these tunes are dedicated to the current crop of players, signed under Eddie Howe’s leadership, who have propelled the club back to the top end of the Premier League.
See a full list of all the best Newcastle United chants here.
1. EIEIEIO Up the Premier League We Go
This chant recognises Newcastle’s impressive rise back up the Premier League under Eddie Howe and their PIF-led ownership.
Variations of this chant can be heard at other clubs across the country, including teams in lower leagues who change ‘up the Premier League’ to ‘up the football league’.
However hearing the song at St. James’ Park is always a good sign. It’s been heard before when Newcastle fought with the cream of the Premier League under Kevin Keegan, Sir Bobby Robson and Alan Pardew.
Nowadays it’s Eddie Howe referenced in the song.

2. Sandro Ole Ole Ole
This one’s for star signing Sandro Tonali, the £55m man who joined Newcastle from AC Milan.
Following the midfield maestro’s ban, due to breaches of betting regulations, Toon fans continued to support the Italian international with this song sung in his absence.
It seems to have supplanted the original ‘He Drinks Moretti’ song which was heard when the player first adorned a Newcastle shirt.
This number is likely to be heard being belted out at St. James’ Park for years to come.

3. Anthony Gordon Running Down the Wing
Another chant likely to be heard at all Newcastle matches this season is the Anthony Gordon song.
There’s a simpler song “Oh Anthony Gordon” – another version of the near ubiquitous Seven Nations Army chants up and down English grounds – however the superior chant is ‘Running Down the Wing’.
This song is sung to the tune of Abba’s ‘Voulez-Vous’ and references Gordon’s role as a winger.

4. We’ve Got Bruno in the Middle and Bruno’s Magic Hat
Star Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes also has two songs. The £40m man is most often serenaded with ‘We’ve Got Bruno in the Middle’ which alludes to his role at the heart of the Toon’s midfield.
It’s a variation of the classic ‘We’re Gonna Win the Premier League’ chant.
The other, and in some people’s view – better – song is ‘Bruno’s Magic Hat’ which talks about Toon winning the biggest prize in English football.
Toon fans will be hopeful that they can sing them both for plenty more years as well, with the Brazilian set to be a mainstay of the midfield.

5. He’s Brazilian
Another current Newcastle United chant aimed at their midfield trio, this one’s for Joelinton.
It’s sung to the tune of Oasis track ‘She’s Electric’, and talks about the midfield enforcer’s £40m price tag but, more importantly, the fact “we think he’s f*ckin’ brilliant”.
Joelinton may have struggled in his early days at Newcastle, deployed as a lone striker by sacked former manager Steve Bruce, but he’s blossomed as a box-to-box midfielder under Eddie Howe.

6. Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army
This chant is for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, the mastermind behind Toon’s unexpectedly fast march up the Premier League since their takeover.
It was heard as early as Howe’s first game as Newcastle manager when, unfortunately, he wasn’t even in the stadium to hear it having tested positive for COVID-19.
You’re now likely to hear this at most games home and away.

7. Eddie Howe Jason Tindall
Celebrating the transformative leadership of Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall, the ‘Eddie Howe Jason Tindall’ chant has become a mainstay in the repertoire of Newcastle United fans. This dynamic duo revitalised the club post-takeover in 2021, culminating in a record-breaking 8-0 victory against Sheffield United in 2023 that inspired the chant’s creation.
Set to the lively tune of Status Quo’s ‘Rocking All Over the World’, this chant extends beyond match day camaraderie, acknowledging the passion, dedication and strategic genius brought by Howe and Tindall to the club.

8. Tell Me Ma…
Another popular current Toon chant, there are two versions of this song. One references Newcastle fans travelling to Europe (Italy, Germany, even Paris [Par-ee]), while the other refers to Wembley – when Newcastle are heading for a cup final (or FA Cup semi).
It’s sung to the tune of ‘Que Sera’ and fans tell their ma that they’re unfortunately not going to be home in time for tea.
9. ‘You’ve Seen United, Now F*ck off Home’
The Newcastle ‘You’ve Seen United Now F*ck Off Home’ chant captures the spirited and defiant mood of the Toon Army, showcasing their unique blend of humour and pride.
Perhaps best remembered as sung by Manchester United supporters during their peak years, this chant has been reappropriated by Newcastle fans, serving as a playful jab at the Red Devils and a broader commentary on the media’s obsession with the Red ‘United’.
It’s been a vibrant part of Newcastle’s memorable victories over Manchester United in the 2023/34 season.
Of course it’s unlikely to reach the status of a mainstay compared to other iconic anthems, but has been heard on the Gallowgate at other times.

10. ‘Woltemade, Woltemade, Ole Ole Ole’
Nick Woltemade arrived towards the end of the 2025 summer transfer window, towering at 6’7. Signed from Werder Bremen, the young German quickly won over supporters with his aerial dominance and link-up play. Fans responded in the most Newcastle way possible on his debut vs Wolves. Indeed – this chant was sung even before he opened the scoring just half an hour into his Newcastle career.
The tune borrows from “Championes, Championes, ole ole ole,” itself rooted in the Spanish hit “Y Viva España.” That melody has bounced through stadiums across Europe for decades. Simple and instantly recognisable, it makes Woltemade’s name the heartbeat of a chant that rolls easily around St James’ Park.
Let’s hope we hear plenty of it for years to come! And forget about a certain former centre forward…
