Don't Look Back in Anger
« on: July 23, 2019, 04:38:15 PM »
People - usually the Noses - rag on us for playing this at the end of any home game that we win but  to me  it will always be synonymous with the three years in the Championship. It was sang after our first away win for well over a year and it seemed to have a meaning that the last few years had to be forgotten and that it was now time to move on.  I know its a song a lot of Villans dont seem to want played but it usually goes down a storm with most people in the ground. My point is this though, how will it look if played after a potential home win over Man City should it happen? Do other H and V's out there think its time for something else?

Yes, although i do like the song and think it was appropriate for the reasons you mention.

I get the impression the only people who don’t want it played are people who post on this forum.

It's grown on me. We only tend to play it if we win, so if it's playing after Man City at home I'll be delighted.

We should only play it if we beat City or United at home. Otherwise, agreed, time to move on.

You'd be wrong.  There's lots who like it and loads more who detest it for many reasons.  We should have a referendum on it then we could have our very own division of the fan base.

Where's this Sweet Caroline revival come from all of a sudden? Did someone sing it on the X Factor final or something? It's bloody everywhere! And it's bloody awful!

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