I think that shows the Bruce impact on the squad. Warnock is a dinosaur and a better ref would have stopped them by using his cards sooner but I got the impression that he just couldn't be arsed blowing up for half the fouls as it created work for him. You get a measure of their manager when your read that he waited for Grealish in the tunnel to confront him as though it was his own fault that they kept fouling him. This was about 5 minutes after everyone else had gone off as he had come over to the Holte, along with Gollini, to give his shirt to somebody in the crowd. He probably then laid into his own players for not kicking him hard enough. Wanker.Gabby and Gestede for all their limitations did make a difference when they came on which again reflects well on Bruce because they didn't seem obvious changes to me.As for Oasis at the end, if the club had asked fans for ideas of what song to play it would have been number 7,296 on the list. As it is, it happened spontaneously and now just seems to work, probably because, unlike the Twang song suggested above, everyone knows the words so can join in if they want. Not looking back in anger seems to me an appropriate approach for a club trying to shake of the effect of 5 years of neglect.This. About the Oasis song. Who wrote it, what team they support, what city they're from and whether they're shit or not is all irrelevant. The words 'don't look back in anger' are very apposite given the pitiful state L****r got us into. It was spontaneous. And it is very in-keeping with the understated irony and wit of Villa fans (remember Always Look On The Bright Side of Life?). We're moving forward now, and we're putting all that rubbish behind us without any bitterness. If anyone can find a song by a Villa supporting Brummie band with a chorus that goes 'don't look back in anger', maybe we can try that one after the next win. Until then...Missed my 'The Twang' post Jimbo? Villa supporting Brummie band with a chorus that goes "I feel so much better today, I chase the bad things away". The whole song fits much better than Oasis, although isn't as well known. It's chock full of Brummie accents, and the chorus makes an easily repeated terrace chant:Regards adoption of don't look back in anger is there a possibility people can come up with villa inspired theme to it rather than singing about 'Sally ' and have some football related with aston villa instead . Now this wouldbe superb if lyrical genius amongst us wrote with villa feeling in mind a simple version to create an anthem with the same chorus of course but a shorter version of oasis classicWe should totally change the end music after a run of 7 games without defeat. And when the run ends the change of music will look like a great decision.Lol yeah that's right because what we sing affects the result doesn't it?

Anything is better than Villa fans singing an Oasis song and paying homage to a manc band who are massive supporters of a rival club. I think you've missed the point by a million miles. The words 'the day we caught the train' aren't relevant in the slightest, whereas 'don't look back in anger' is rather appropriate considering the last five years of unmitigated shit. It's only a song they play at the end of games we win, and they only play it because of a spontaneous reaction to it by our fans at an away game we won after failing to win away for 6000 years. It is not a club anthem. You've missed the point by a billion miles. Oasis are massive Man City fans and any self respecting Villa fan should not be singing their songs on the Holte. It's a load of bollocks. Except thousands of Villa fans ARE singing this song after every home game. Yeah, they should all stop enjoying themselves and feeling happy. After all they have their self respect to think about!

The Day We Caught The Train is a good shout
It's worth pointing out that Hurricane Smith of 'Theme From An Unmade Silent Movie' fame was a Spurs fan.

It's a load of bollocks.Where do we draw the line though? Only sign players that are Villa fans? Refuse a taxi because the driver is a Blues fan?Nearly every song sung at VP has been shamelessly stolen from some other team.It's just a song, the writers are immaterial.It is something that took off at Reading and the club acted upon it, I think they should be given a break here.
Is DLBIA a Man City song, or just written and performed by Man City fans?
Your stretching the point now. The issue here is about a song that some people don't want to join in with due to it being so heavily associated with a rival club. Put it this way. Would we sing Walk on? Or dare I say it keep right on? No chance because those songs are so heavily associated with rival clubs. Thats how I see DLBIA. Some agree with me, others don't. It's a free country. I'll continue to exercise my right not to join in with that particular song choice.
It's just the club trying to take a bit of initiative. They don't seem to be able to do right from wrong. Villa sung "Walk On" for donkies years. They also sing "Nigel Spink, threw the ball to Platty" which is a version of Newcastles Blayden Races. Feel free not to join in, nobody has suggested that you should join in. I don't join in either as I'm on the road outside as soon as the whistle goes.I much prefer the Oasis song to the cringeworthy, annoying Kumbya M'Lord that is sung at every game, with new silly verses added regularly.
