Anyone notice how the PA is failing us massively in the second half? Really half-hearted, limp lettuce like sound. Doesn't help in getting a stirring second rendition going.

I am writing to Caroline Lucas about it now.

GOSBTS should be for the start of the match, do something else for half time IMO (Right Here, Right Now works for me)

All these people dieing doesn't help either. Cant they do it in the summer when there's no football (said with all respect to Jimmy Greaves and Roger Hunt).
Also good to hear Sweet Caroline dropped.

That twatish premier league tune they play after all teams’ own ‘anthem’ that seems to get longer each season and is an insult to the home teams own identity* . Would be great if supporters of all premier league teams** came together with a resounding ‘stick your premier league tune up your arse’ to drown it out at all matches.

*maybe with the exception of GAO.
**obvs wouldn’t be audible at the Emirates.

It always amazed me, how suddenly Sweet Caroline was adopted by so many clubs in the sporting world. I mean the song was written over fifty years ago, so why now?

Absolutely not. It's the only chance we get for an organised second verse.

I have trouble singing along to GOSBTS, it's so hard when everyone around you seems to be clapping along to whatever song is in their head and not the actual music being played. It's basically just a round of applause with people mumbling stuff.

Came in from baseball, is my theory.

It might be good to look if Fenway Sports Group has anything to do with it. It's been sung at Red Sox games for yoinks.

It's my daughter's name and on the rare occasions when we go to the ball game she disappears I to the concours for a beer when it comes on - she despises the song.

GOSBTS for the 1st half is powerful and a great start to the match
2nd half it's a damp squib, with little or no fan involvement.
Use something else.
