    A while back I went to a spurs game with my brother while we were in england.

    There was a chant going around that I tought was "Come on your spurs."

    My brother was 100% sure that the kid next to him was chanting "I love you spurs".

    Is there a "I love you spurs" chant that the supporters do, or did he hear wrong?

    Second, and this seems to go for every EPL team, the supporters do a "When the X Come Marching In" chant, what do the fans yell at the end of the song before they start up again?

    "... I want to be in that number, when the Spurs come marching in. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Oh when the Spurs..."

    For an example see this video:

    It is indeed "Come on you Spurs"

    They shout out amelodically, "Oh when the Spurs (Oh when the Spurs), go marching in (go marching in)," and then start singing again.

    It's repeated in quick succession, hence the parenthesis :)
