One very noticeable thing is there are very few player chants these days, probably because they're not very good! Ayew is probably our best player and 'Boom Boom Boom let me hear ya say Ayew, Ayew!' is an easy one.Holte Enders In The Sky gets sung far too often. Whatever happened to the good old "Villa *clap* Villa *clap*"? Or "Come on you Lions"?

We always bring out the "Come on you Lions!" chant from the back of L4 whenever we have a corner. Usually a few in and around us join in but never gets sustained, unfortunately.
"Come on you Lions" got sang against Palace, fairly loud too. First time I heard it in ages.Let's keep it up.
Yeah I'd play a second string as well. To be honest I'm not bothered about the Cup this season. Save our better players for the Albion game.

First time I heard it in ages.Let's keep it up.Best way to get songs going or reintroduced is at away games. Sing "come on you Lions" on Saturday at Albion and it will soon catch on again. Speaking of songs on Saturday all I've heard off my Albion 'mates' at work is "can't wait to sing that 'we'll meet again' song to you when we play you". So lets sing it to them about ourselves 👍

I always assume "Birmingham are you listening" is addressed to Birmingham the place:Birmingham [the place] are you listeningTo the song we [that is the Villa your top team] are singingWe're walking along etc etc
