Aston Villa vs Cardiff City Post-Match Thread

[KevinGage]

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.

If I was in charge of match security for just one game, the batons would come out as soon as that dirge made an appearance.

Football songs haven't always been hugely imaginative but three (or three'n'abit) words tacked on to an already shit song is a woeful effort.

Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the lyrics to You'll Never Walk Alone.
He was an Everton season ticket holder.

When did we and everyone else except Liverpool and Celtic stop singing YNWA? It's a question that comes up regularly.

I don't think that many of Noel Gallagher's songs are about anything much are they?  He just picks words that rhyme and that's about it.

I remember singing it around the time we were last relegated but not much after. We used to bastardise it as well, adding handclaps and turning it staccato.

Crikey.  I was half expecting a barrage for my comment.  It's refreshing to read that I'm not alone in disliking this particular terrace song.

Certainly not the last time but I noticed a hearty rendition at the 75 league Cup Final, video posted in the memories section.  It does seem quite weird to hear our fans singing it now though, even if it was 40 years ago.

Hillsborough must be a big part of other teams not singing it any more?  I think after that more than ever it was regarded as "their" song.  The bloke singing it on the last day of the old Holte got a bit of stick for singing it.

I'm with you both, it's awful.  I particularly dislike the "shit support" verse, with the associated flapping of arms in the rough direction of the opposite stands.  Embarrassing.

That was one of my favourite ever Villa memories. I was feeling quite choked that day and feared it would all be a bit emotional...then Dave Chance sang YNWA and I just started pissing myself laughing. That must have been the longest two minutes of his life!

Written by man City fans, sung by man City fans, played at man City matches. I'd say it's a man City song.

So Jeff Beck was a Villa fan?

Whoever wrote liquidator supported Wolves/Albion/Chelsea?

Whoever wroth The Sh*s song supported them?

I'm forever blowing bubbles an Iron?

etc etc etc

It's really nothing to get worked up about.

I get what your saying but I don't think you get where myself and countless others are coming from. Non of those songs were written by a band who so vehemently support a rival club. Oasis ARE massively Man City.. Thats the big difference with every other song you mention.

I do get it but my point is that given the paucity of just about any song coming out of Villa Park for many a year now having one more closely associated with man city than us is better than the rubbish we have been singing for a while.

I'd say if you asked any number of people the first thing they associate with the song, Manchester City would be a long way down the list.
