I've never heard irons used like that before. What's it mean?

It's like saying, "COME ON YOU IRONS!"

It means the pistons of a car, with a hydrocarbon combustion engine, getting all started and firing up -- And then it's used as a sports analogy/expression, akin to:

Like, "Let's get that iron firing!"

Or, "Get those iron pistons pumping."

Maybe even like, "According to quantum tunneling theory, the universe will reduce itself into inert iron and only quantum pulsing will cause shifts in physical matter."

You have to understand The British nomenclature. I mean they did, after all, invent iron. Not to mention gravity.

Oh and,


COYIIII!

Is basically like WAKAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIKAMAKAZIGOKOUSUPERSAIYAN! Except in The UK it's spelled differently. I still think that it has something to do with Pokemon.

Irons is short for Thames Ironworks, which was the name of West Ham United football club before they became affiliated to the football league.
It's their nickname. Sadly it's all redundant because the dirty northern bastards won.
