Sweet Caroline as a fan chant for the Albion?

[Buzzer]

I'm not so sure. Both Sidwell and Norwood are ex Reading.

As is Glen Murray.

My comments are tongue-in-cheek. I've had a long-standing, irrational dislike for Murray ever since he signed for Palace and my mates have all teased me this season as Murray banged in goal after goal for us and asking me if I'd finally forgiven him. My answer was that I would let them know at the end of the season as one of the reasons for Murray's success is a needy desire to get back into my good books and if I forgave him too early on he might stop trying. He's now forgiven but not forgotten.

I've always thought Tenpole Tudor's 'Swords of a Thousand Men' could the basis for a bloody fantastic football chant.

Yes

 

[Is it PotG?]

We fail to get the pace of SbtS correct, what might happen with 'Swords' would be anyone's guess.

 

[Buzzer]

The one chant that I keep trying to get going is my alternative to "We are Brighton, super Brighton":

"We are Brian...Super Brian
We are Brian...so's my wife"

I know I'm easily amused but that always makes me chuckle.

I think the part that might work is the bit after that line. The "ba...badada" bit. I'll be honest though, it always works better in my head than when I try it out loud.

Crystal Maze Megamix with The Time Warp?

Crystal Maze Megamix with The Time Warp?

Or even a nod to the Ramirez 'injury' at Boro last season: "Who Killed Bambi?"

The players can sing it in the dressing room and good luck to them.
But it's utterly meaningless tripe to me.
Sorry.

Edit: The players do the Toure chant on occasion too I believe. Would you like us to start singing that at every home game as well?

Jokes. Jokes

No need to apologise, you've summed it up perfectly.

A mainly slow love song, it hasn't got the makings of a rousing football club chant/anthem.

Ive got a mate who is exactly the same. I don't think he's forgiven Glen yet.

 

[Jesus Gul]

No. It's a bit rugby/cricket/Reading FC

 

[Whitechapel]

I wouldn't mind Sweet Caroline becoming a sort of unofficial away win anthem.

We've just grabbed a dramatic three points at Anfield/Old Trafford/Stamford Bridge. All the players wander over to a packed away end to clap the fans and the fans reply with "Where it began...". Everyone sort of mummers through the first 6 lines that nobody really knows and then all sing the whole "Hands, touching hands." bit together followed by the chorus.

Followed by a load of Brighton fans singing along to it in the bars of Liverpool/Manchester/London as well on countless trains home until the early hours of the following morning.

Maybe this one of theirs instead? No trouble with knowing the words in the chorus

Oi!

 

[Invicta]

If the players like it - why not ? Singing is meant to inspire them ?

I still like Praise You (the original version) when we win a game.

Never understood why it's not sung, it seems so obvious......

We've come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you baby (Brighton)
I have to praise you like I should

We've come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you baby (Brighton)
I have to praise you like I should

I want to praise you (the bit at the end need not be included)

I think Mr Cook needs to get his pen and pad out, scribble some lyrics, tinkle some ivories, slide some sliders on the mixing board, blow the dust off his CDJ's, and come up with an all-new Anthem!

He's a Brighton nut, so he'll be on here I'm sure. Norman Quentin Cook - do your shizzle buddy!!

Actually it's most widely associated with the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park as they started it back in the late 90's.

 

[Brovion]

Yeah! It's one of my favourite songs, but that's partly because my daughter's name is Caroline.
