Hi Ho is annoying because Dingles and Wednesday sing it too. It was annoying that it drowned out the actual song that was being sung after Arsenal.

Do Arsenal fans know they're a South London franchise? Plastic twats.

And never mind Man City's 115 charges, when are the league going to relegate them back to where they didn't win promotion from?

Talking about music

Anybody else hate the fact we play ‘hi ho’ on the final whistle of every game
I mean against Arsenal we didn’t need that shit music blasting out we just wanted to celebrate with players the atmosphere was already there it didn’t need to be contrived

I hate it before, during and after. It's clap along, singalong, fake atmosphere nonsense.

Its too 'Wolves' for me - they were playing this long before we were, and its for the happy clappers!

Yep. And relegate Man U and Liverpool for match-fixing, and give Tottenham the relegation that they should have had in the nineties while you're at it.

We've used Hi Ho to some degree for decades. Not a fan of playing any song after a win, let the fans do their thing naturally and then play it after 5 mins or something.

I think more than one club's supporters should be allowed to like a song.  We were still singing 'You'll never walk alone' in the early 90s for example, and I think it's a shame that it's been co-opted as a Liverpool/Celtic specific song now.  We've been playing it since around the time I started going to the Villa at least, so that's what 3 decades or more than I know of.  I don't see a problem with it.

Also agree that they should hold off playing it if there's singing going on anyway.

I quite like it, but I'm an archetypal out-of-towner from the shires who goes a few times a season and gets taught SOTV by helpful local blosers when I get off the boat.

Not a fan of any music being played before a win either. Five minutes before, turn off that shit and let the fans be heard.
