I dont think I will ever tire of watching our very pissed team thumping that out at their hotel after the game.
  Brilliant nor me  ---great to see such team spirit---fully well earned and deserved ongoing celebrations.

Well that’s the Directors Cut extended version, that’s the longest clip of that I’ve seen so far.
And it’s why I think as a song it’ll always mean so much to us.
Just look at what has happened as a result of a decent manager being backed, one penalty shootout win over the very quiet neighbours, one decent job done in the big smoke.
It could have meant selling the crown jewels and longer in the wilderness. Instead we are back where we belong.
Loving the anticipation of the new season. 
None of that needed saying. Isn’t it great to savour!
Up the Villa!
Come on you Lions!

If we're as successful as we hope to be, that was the last time those boys were one(s) of us.

What, do I like the Smiths? Yes, I do. Why do you ask?

Neil Diamond is not enjoying the best of health at the moment, so I hope somebody has let him know how much we love Sweet Caroline.

Inspirational? Absolutely, going by films of the team singing along, on YouTube.

Doesn’t everyone want someone who looks at them like Jack looks at Tyrone when he arrives on stage?

I’m not going to stop saying how big a result was in our history. To keep a player whose class, quality, rare grace we’d struggle to attract, to build a team around him, and he’s one of us, will always always give that extra (glances suspiciously at Agbonlahor, G in the rear view mirror).

It’s a result almost important enough to name your child after ;)

Isn't it time we ditched TLBIA (which was always a bit self-deprecating in my view)?  "Sweet Caroline" will always have a deeply positive resonance in the mind of every Villa fan, as we recall that brilliant day at Wembley, our return to the top table and the unity of fans and players at that hotel afterwards. Let's belt it out at every home game.

Design, fluke or just a consequence of a winning team, but my favourite part is that that the squad looks united.  There’s obviously Jack and Grealish front and centre but there’s also the loan players and the unselect/injured joining in.

Get it on the big screen after our first victory at villa park.

I think it is more than possible to have more than one song
