In that second paragraph you appear to be impressed by bells & whistles. Who are you and what have you done with Dave Woodhall?

I thought the tifo was ace.

Edit: My phone knows of one of my other interests: autocorrected tifo to Rico three times.

I'm a bit of a misery when it comes to that sort of thing but it's different for European nights. The City feels different, there's a buzz about the place (not the ones you ride on) and the same goes for the ground itself. I always get to my seat at the last minute but get in early for our European games. I was at home last night and watched the build up which I never usually do.

The fireworks and razzmatazz always seems utterly suitable for these special occasions, I just think they look incongruous for routine league games against Brentford or Wolfs.

I agree with Nev. Hi Ho Silver is still the cringiest thing in football but the rest was just the right side of the cringe/spectacular line.

Yes. Even when it's playing at Villa Park I still wonder why we are using a song associated with Wolves and Sheffield Wednesday.

I personally can't stand them, and would put them in a bin with drummers, trumpeters and playing music after goals.

Ah well you can't please everyone, huh. I think it gave ab amazing arena for the players to walk out to, intimidating for the away team.

Nothing in football, and I mean NOTHING is worse than goal music.
