Is there truth in the rumour that Doug decided not to spend money on a LB on loan, and gave it to Tom Clarke to write another 3 verses???

They've messed it up
It was perfect when they timed it to have the chorus ring out seconds before kick off, built the atmosphere in to the game much better.

It was 2 verses for the last couple of games too

They’ve been doing it for a few games not just for yesterday. It’s nothing to do with the sign language

Now do the previous two games where they did multiple verses with no sign language. Also it’s always subtitled.
Not unpopular with me. Its a pub celebratory song after a win and had its time.

@Balli001 @shmmeee - yes you’re right but I did think that yesterday’s effort started even earlier in proceedings.
The Unite for Access campaign was clearly something to do with it - and the campaign video played ten minutes before (about fans who had used football as a platform in living with disability) was very moving I thought.
Adding the sign language to the graphics for WLAD was very slick and made us look like a highly competent operation. I’m not sure many of us would have said that too often 2 seasons ago.
I’m far more outraged about the terrible defending for both Southampton goals to be fair but I guess it all SHFW risen

It’s great but it’s nothing to do with what’s being discussed. Honestly weird attempt to try and make out people are against a pro disability campaign.

He's not making that out at all of course.

TBF before they played it yesterday it was announced it would be a one off version for something (I missed what but assume it was something to do with sign language?). So it's not always changing.
I actually preferred it, I suspect people didn't because they didn't know the words to the second verse.

Unrelated but remember when they used to play Chelsea Dagger after we scored
That was Mark Robins’ first decision when he took over the first time. Scrap Mr Blue Sky for Chelsea Dagger we we scored.

Several clubs were doing it. But Robins explicitly stated it as one of his fresh ideas during his first media ideas on taking over in 2012.
I’ll try and dig out the reference …
