I like it and would be happy to keep it.  It's pretty much the only pa played sing along song that means something and is fairly unique to us.  You just know that if it is stopped the alternatives will always be Hi-ho which every fucker sings and Sweet Caroline.  I personally prefer it to both of those.

It is fucking awful to sing a song which is blatantly Mancunian.
Sweet Caroline would be an improvement.

It's funny, for all the moaning here and on social media, the vast majority of fans sing it after the games.

Manc song, so what, who cares? What's Jeff Beck got to do with Aston Villa? Born in Surrey. Not to mention the fact that HHSL is fucking awful. But everyone claps along and sings it.

I like the fact it started organically, it wasn't forced on us.

Yes, we need to update the playlist without a doubt, but if we're blasting out DLBIA against Bournemouth, I'll be very happy.

New win song should be Sweet Caroline

Yes, agree with this

Agree too.

Also, can we PLEASE bin Allez Allez Allez?

Everyone else sings it, but we seem to do it every 45 seconds.

Lots of other teams sing Allez, Allez, Allez but we have our own words to it, as do others.

Don't you mean TFAUSM, or am I missing something blatantly obvious again?

Sweet Caroline for me. Simply for the feel-good factor from the end of last season.

I'm OK with DLBIA as it grew organically and I associate it with a home win. I couldn't give a shit that Oasis are from Manchester. Sweet Caroline seems more tenuous to me, though I read that it started at half time away at Stoke. I was unaware of us singing it until I saw footage from the dressing room after the win at the Albion.

Allez Allez Allez I like too and we have our own words. I presume nobody is suggesting we bin Super John McGinn because we lifted the tune from Cardiff.
