Don't Look Back in Anger

At least 'Swing Low' hasn't migrated over from Rugby Union.

We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear

Make a noise and make it clear!

[Risso]

We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear

Make a noise and make it clear!

We've got Kortney Hause, we've got Bjarnason.*


*Didn't really want to use him, but it's the only name that works.

Pretty sure Stoke sing it.

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!

'kin right.

No 'kin way.

Sweet Caroline is a brilliant song in its own right.  The way the horn part builds up to the chorus is perfect.  It's one of my favourite songs anyway, but then its association with our march to winning the playoffs, and then hearing it twice at my daughter's school leavers' ball has cemented it in my psyche.  It's a million times better than DLBIA in every single way.  I hope to hear it and sing it a million times at Villa this season.

And I had the impression you were a man with taste!  I consider I have a pretty eclectic musical repertoire but I find Neil Diamond just vanilla middle-of-the-road dross.Sorry!

I can’t stand Neil Diamond but he wrote some great tunes.

Sweet Caroline is the sort of shite sung by screeching middle-aged piss-heads in Benidorm...or me at the Oval last year...

I rest my case!

Despite DLBIA not being everyone's cup of tea its something nearly everyone sings along to from what i've seen at games. It also surfaced in an organic way so its not something thats been engineered or forced. Allez x 3 has become a part of matchday and has been widely adopted with enthusiasm, gusto and a great sense of community both home and away. Personally I like to hear a lot of noise at games and this ticks the boxes for me - I'm sure we all prefer VP to be noisy.

It will be interesting how next season will pan out - we're on the rise after a period of shitness and I expect new chants and songs will emerge as they usually do.

Maybe the PA can piss everyone off equally, DLBIA if we lose, Sweet Caroline if we win, what if we draw?

What do you mean "lose?"

What happened to chanting ?
I like a good chant with hand clapping.

It’s gone the way of rosettes and rattles.
