This reminds me of the 1998 French squad who would sing 'I will Survive' after every win.

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.
Aye, victory got sweeter.

They played it before the France v England friendly game at Stade de France and it was so joyous even some of the miserable England supporters joined in.

If you worry about the context of the lyrics, the origin or who recorded the song or which team's supporters sang it first then you're missing the point.

My only gripe with the first two at Wembley was we were all in a singing mood and you are buggered with those.

That's the way! I was dancing around the living room singing along to Paranoid. Love Black Sabbath, love Paranoid. Absolute tune! My rendition was appalling, mind.

As long as it isn’t with players names, let’s not let it date.

Same here.

Also did the earpiece up the blazer trick at school speech day... can't remember which game - caused a bit of a commotion when Villa scored.

Those at Reading away in October 2016 will recall the Swret Caroline was played before DLBIA came on and had a smattering singing to it then.
