If you’re embarrassed by singing DLBIA because of its associations with Man City, don’t forget “their” iconic Poznan celebration. All teams borrow from each other, chants and songs are recycled. Mind you, I’m old enough to remember when fans started singing Guantanamera.

Me too - it was adopted by Villa fans after our UEFA Cup quarter final loss to Barcelona in 1978 then spread around the country.

Can I v clarify is this oasis song played post match every home tie?

No, only when Villa win.

I'm not a massive fan of it but it sounded bloody fantastic yesterday.

I couldn't agree more Mr Clampy

I like the song itself and don't particularly have a problem with it after the final whistle but don't see why we need it when we've got High Ho Silver Lining.

Back in the day, I seem to remember Hi Ho Silver Lining being associated with Wolves before us

Sounds great at Wembley as the players are carrying a trophy. Loads of clubs have the same songs, Chelsea and Wolves play Liquidator for example.

You'll never walk alone while intrinsically linked to Liverpool is or has been sung by Celtic, Dortmund and Feyenoord to name a few.

Everyone used to sing that song when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s.

Not a fan of DLBIA but if we keep winning I don't mind hearing it more often. I still like theme from an unmade silent movie by Norman "hurricane" Smith. Reminds me of Villa glory years.

Theme From an Unmade Silent Movie is more pre-match than post match though.

Ozzy - Dreamer

Great song.

It will be our anthem next season when we are dreaming of a CL place.

Normally leave fairly quickly at full time but stayed on yesterday because of the occasion. That meant I bellowed along to it and very enjoyable I found it too.
