I thought it was immense the other night v Oxford. Hairs standing on back of neck time.

Now some of you will hate this and label it cringe or a bit Liverpool etc, but I'm prepared, so tin hat on here goes!

At Wembley I loved the flags waving as it was sung, visually great, thought it would be great if like when Liverpool sing YNWA many hold scarves aloft. Be great if only for those couple of lines when no clapping we all did similar. Doesn't need to be everyone initially, but I think if a few did it could quickly grow and look even better. I know it's gimmicky, but anything that might rattle an away following is good imo.

Also, I assume that as we've adopted it the Enemy lads must be getting a few quid, at least I'd hope so. We're using it on merchandise etc so must be a kind of royalty.

Morning Rob …….what a change around we now have .
A souless bowl , to now having noise that’s envied & applauded by others .
The clapping that accompanies our intro , coupled with a vast majority singing it , isn’t to be missed pre game , so for me I’m happy with how it is & love everyone’s reaction to this fabulous intro

I think we have a great anthem as it is. LAST seems so timid compared to what this sounds like.

The enemy's version of that JH classic pales in significance,, often feeling alone?

Maybe it’s a changing of the guard

procdoc · Aug 18, 2024

One of my mates who I go to the games with hates the song so we all make sure we sing it as loud as possible just to piss him off

Monkeyface · Aug 18, 2024

Slightly off track, but it always frustrates me that we don't walk out to the old Eaton Boating song brass. I know its a bit old fashioned and slow, but when we played it at HR it was great and it is our song.

Sbarcher · Aug 18, 2024

Any pictures of the banner before ko? I was way above it and couldn’t make it out. Guess the tv cameras also missed it.

Skyblueweeman · Aug 18, 2024

I love it. I think it's great and a unique song to us.

SHUNT31 · Aug 18, 2024

Should be played immediately after a win, in full imo.

Yes 100%

Sky Blue Wozza · Aug 18, 2024

The Enemy absolutely honk, but I’m glad we have something that’s unique to us.

Covkid1968# · Aug 18, 2024

Also think a The specials guns of naverone should be sung after a goal rather than that generic thing loads of teams fans do. Tried it once on my own after a goal … didn’t catch on

Is it just The Enemy specifically or are you not a fan of that kind of genre?

Not a huge fan of the genre and I think they are a particularly bad example of it.

TBH, I’m basing this on hearing two of their songs 15 years ago but that has never stopped me forming judgmental opinions before.

Sky Blue Wozza · Aug 18, 2024

I’d rather us play The Specials before the game starts

But that's like a couple of my brother's not liking Twist and shout cos it's not connected to Coventry in anyway that I know of?

No, the Liverpool thing is cringe

rob9872 · Aug 18, 2024

Fair enough, I think it looks really good lol, ah well. Although on the Liverpool theme two of our more famous songs, in our Coventry homes and Twist & Shout, are both from them!

Grendel · Aug 18, 2024

I love the song Villa come out to it whips the atmosphere up - well I assume they still play it

I think it's more the way when it's a game on sky the way they act about it.

What is it? I think they did Chelsea Dagger for a while.

All they ever seem to sing is Holte Enders in the sky, dreadful atmosphere for big numbers.

Ozzy - Crazy Train

Sky Blue Wozza · Aug 18, 2024

I’ve seen footage of the Kop singing “She Loves You” in the 60s - was “Twist and Shout” something that was regularly sung too by them too?

I had no idea “In Our Coventry Homes” was originally a Reds song until I went to the Liverpool Museum and heard it playing there! Not sure they sing it now though?

Is Ozzy a villa fan?

Surprise Villa don’t come out to “War Pigs” by Sabbath in honour of their number one fan, David Cameron.
