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.

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.

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.

Shit support, empty seats - OUR lot signing about empty seats, firchrissakes. Opposition supporters rightly mock us for it.

We should put some stirring words to Spring from the Four Seasons Suite...get Nige on the centre circle playing it in a Villa shirt.

Just drop the "Don't".....

I must admit I cringed on Saturday at the "sheep shaggers" verse. Hilarious.

Is DLBIA a Man City song, or just written and performed by Man City fans?

Is DLBIA a Man City song?

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

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. 

I wouldn't have said any Oasis song is a "Man City song" just because Noel & Liam are visible Man city fans.

Blue moon is their thing and by Christ they can keep that, remind which famous Man City fan wrote that?

Why people are becoming precious over a popular song purely because of who the band that recorded it support? now that's small time.

Pros of DLBIA:

The title of the song has some pertinence to our plight of recent years.
Its adoption was a spontaneous moment linked to something which hopefully will be seen as a major turning point for years to come. When we're in the CL in a few years, it'll be a case of "remember Ayew's pen in the last minute at Reading" (I can dream).
Lots of people know the words.

Cons of DLBIA:

Nothing else in the song bar the title has anything remotely to do with football or Villa.
It takes too long to get to the chorus for the tenuously relevant bit.
It's already becoming the next why didn't Barry take the penalty.

On balance I'm happy for the club to keep playing it after every win. Long may the winning run continue.

Maybe but to me Oasis are too heavily associated with Man City for me to feel happy singing one of their songs on the Villa terraces.

Anyways

I thought at times the play was decent and we looked strong in defence. Only a cock up by Pointy meant they scored. Thought defence went a little shakey the minute Chester went to left side and Elphick came on (he really worries me)

Thought Hutton was his usual average at best, best and would prefer Bacuna there

Overall - cannot wait for Dirty Leeds as I think against the better sides we play better

This for me. Couldn't give a toss otherwise...

I'd have to argue that given the losing 'mentality' of the team in recent years lends some relevance to the opening lines of the song. Maybe it's just that more people know the chorus.

I'm kind of in a place where I think it is weird to have an Oasis song, but only about as weird as me now idolising the manager I was calling 73 types of c*** for dancing on our pitch a few years ago when the idiots down the road came back to draw 2-2.

We live in strange times.

Meaning no offence to you personally, I don't think that anyone calling themselves The Edge can dish out advice on music on H&V with any credibility!

And thousands aren't joining in with that Man City anthem.

What track number was Blue Moon on Whats the Story (Morning Glory)?

Personally, I associate it with pissed up, sun-burned Brits in Ben Sherman shirts singing it in Salou on the way to a British theme pub for fish and chips.

No its not.

They play Roll with It win, lose or draw but I've never heard them play Don't Look Back in Anger.

Somebody should tell Preston to stop coming out to the (excellent) This is the One, as Ian Brown is a Man United fan.

You can pipe down love after your hooligan antics at the weekend!
