Much as I don't like to sing about "them", I now find it completely impossible not to sing FTB after the Sweet Caroline part.

I'm sure Mr Diamond wouldn't be happy!!

It's on a par awful wise with Don't Look Back In Anger. No idea what either have to do with our club

Our supporters sing them, therefore they're a part of our club . I don't suppose Rogers & Hammerstein spent a lot of time on the Kop.

I even joined in with DLBIA on Monday.

Fuck it, I can't be arsed to moan about anything at the minute. I'm staying off the Brexit thread, obviously.

I love ‘Sweet Caroline’ and it’s obvious the team, squad, club, do, too.
It’s on the party videos so that’s good enough for me.

So good, so good, so good...

These songs strike a chord with fans, hence their appeal. DLBIA obviously takes us back to Reading and the sheer elation we felt at finally breaking the duck, then I’m sure many like me see Sweet Caroline as a bit of a turning point, half time away at Stoke. They always will, so I’ll happily sing them.

Exactly. If you don't know what DLBIA has to with us, ask anyone who was at Reading away that night. I hear lots of people moaning about it, yet everyone sings it after games.

Nothing wrong with these songs. The majority of the fans join in and seem to enjoy singing them, what's wrong with that?

When away on holiday especially Benidorm, always slagging the wife because I hated it, but absolutely love it now

Gary aka Brazilian Villan made the same point at the Black Lion in Kilburn after the game.

Harry Lauder didn’t own a chip shop in Small Heath either.

Is the Oasis song still played at the final whistle for home games? That certainly was started by fans joining in at an away game.

SC seems to be the new victory anthem in football last 12 months. It's a cracking tune but always amusing how these songs that have been around for ages suddenly become all the rage, I assume it first got played at the Darts and developed from there.

I may be misremembering, but DLBIA didn't seem to be sung with much gusto on Monday.  Possibly because it was played a while after the final whistle instead of immediately afterwards, or maybe that it takes longer to get going than say, Sweet Caroline.  Or hopefully because people have started to realise that it's shit! :)

DLBIA can now be consigned to history as it’s all about not letting the recent utterly shit past affect our future. Sack it off.
