Many will relate the song to Reading but **** those tinpot goons. The song clearly means a lot to our players. Should we bulldozer it off Reading, make it our own and sing it louder and better?

Genuine poll by the way. Just interested to know views on this, would never have considered it but it really seems to be something special to our boys.

I really don't like Neil Diamond, can't stand his voice,i know its not a popular view,but, he really grates on me.
And, it is a bit tinpot.

No.

Though I'm sure it'll get played over the tannoys after we win next season!

I don't have anything against Neil Diamond, and he's a talented songwriter, but... I think the song is pants.

I vote "smack my bitch up" by the Prodigy. No other reason than the utterly confused look on the away fans faces :lolol:

I think we should be trying to get this going, it's by an Albion fan and it sums the last 20 years up perfectly.

Yes would be good , but there is absolutely no chance of singing anything with a slow tempo from Albion fans, just no going to happen.
Speaking of singing slowly, Spurs have this sussed. Their rendition of glory, glory hallelujah yesterday was superb, spine tingling stuff.

But it's not for a concert - it's for a football match to encourage/fire up the players - and this is their song ...

I totally understand what you're saying, but still disagree a little.

I've watched many interviews with players, where the reporter has asked what they listen to before a game to get them 'fired up' or 'in the zone'.. I can't recall any of them saying 'yeah bro.. a bit o' dat foot tappin' stuff me dad dances to at weddings, innit...'

Naff song by an artist most fans would not know of or like.

Reminds me of the embarrasing Glad All Over at the cesspit.

If there is song, choose something for the younger fan base.

Sorry to say it but GLad all over is an absolute BELTER of a track. Hate the fact that Palace sing it of course but objectively it is a very good tune.
