It's been all downhill since the hardy Gooners at the Library, sang, to the tune of Sonnet by The Verve:Yeah, he's Patrick Vieira, He drives a Sierra, My Lord,Yeah, he's Patrick Vieira, Midfielders surrender, My Lord,

That "all I care about" song (which includes references to the team we are playing, which is kind of the opposite to singing about Blues, so surely should go down well) seems to go on for ages, too.Isn't that the most important thing by miles? The continual loud vocal support for the team?point nailed. brilliant support at arsenal and chelsea, and a brilliant response by the team.if you don't like a song, come up with a better one to sing.

Quote from: PeterWithesShin on August 22, 2013, 12:16:25 AMThe words are shit. As I think so I'll say they are. I'll be there Saturday singing but I won't be signing that as it's a crap song. Saying I don't like a song is hardly whining and I'd appreciate you not claiming I am. Don't be so touchy.It is aimed at the general moaning about this song since Saturday, not you in particular. I don't get it, why are people so bothered?It's like the inference us singing about Small Heath makes us small time somehow - dont people listen to away fans singing about their rivals too?Oh, and songs to the tune of My Old Man Said have been around for decades, so people are mistaken in thinking that is a Villa original. Likewise the Paul McGrath song which was sung by Man U fans about Paul Scholes for ages.I'd understand it if we'd nicked Keep Right On but nicking a song 15 noses have sung once or twice on a near empty lower leagues away terrace doesn't seem the same.We've played two matches this season in both of which our fans have made a constant racket.

It is a bit different sitting in the hole in the wall (or where ever the pub is now) or Aston Social and singing songs of almost folk music genre to being in the stands and blasting out a wall of sound.In the ground, wall of sound.If we were to sing all the verses of Holte enders in the sky at the games everyone would be mumbling befopre the end of the 1st verse.Instead, at every telivised game as the teams run out I hear, YIPPYE AYe AYE, brilliant this is our song.But it does not prevent us having, other songs.My all time favourite, a long haunting rendition of, Villa, Villa,Villa, Villa ,followed by Villa, Villa,Villa,Villa.
