Something else to moan about. Jesus Christ, honestly.

I think the Wembley grass should be mowed in the shape of a lion.

I thought I dreamed that we just made a major final for the first time in my lifetime and we are discussing this??

Gotta love football fans.

An American who has probaly never been to a Football match singing about some bint as opposed to William Blake and Edward Elgar? You can't be English...

Need to keep religion out of sport. We don't need a song wondering if some long haired layabout went for a wonder around Britain.

How about this?

Since when has Jerusalem ever had anything to do with football? It's been a cricket song for years.

I was at the Germany game and Sweet Caroline was fantastic, even better than Three Lions.

It's amazing how people find something to moan about. England on the brink of a trophy for the first time in almost 60 years and somebody moans about the song choice in a stadium they're not even at. Mad.

I believe the Wembley PA started playing it before/after games and it’s gone from there.

It’s been a big part of Matchroom boxing shows (including Wembley) for many years.

Was also sung frequently in the Albion dressing room during our 16/17 promotion season.

Satire, innit. Blake was mocking those given to post-Napoleonic, patriotic bluster.

But you're right, it's a cricket song.

I think Sweet Caroline lacks originality, but people enjoy it, and it sort of confirms that I am a tedious old fart.

I'm not sure that a singalong with a few thousand emotionally triggered football fans is the time or place to introduce standards of musical quality.

I thought it was a call to arms to build Christianity in England?
