Sweet Caroline

[Comrade Sam]

I can't stand it. Just makes me think of being stuck in a pub with 200 West Ham drunks. Seemed to have sneaked into the Albion repertoire after the players sang it when we were promoted. At that time we all watched and waited for a tune we knew.

 

[Official Old Man]

There's a right time, right place for this song. It had its time during or just after lockdown and then the England Ladies took it on and again it worked. At the Amex it most obviously doesn't work. Personally sick and tired of it.
PS Guy on 5live this morning also stated he hated it which started heated arguments.

 

[beorhthelm]

didn't realise how long this had been around, thought the football link came in Euro 2020.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Its a regular over the pond as well now at sports events (plus 7 nation army) and, quite honestly, Im fed up of constantly hearing the both of them.
Had its moment of glory the year BHAFC were promoted, but would love to see it "retired" now....

 

[GT49er]

If I never hear the bloody thing ever again I'll be delighted.

 

[dolphins]

Thank god there are others who hate it as much as me now - it's really been done to death, and the addition of the "so good, so good, so good" bit that's not in the song itself makes it even more irritating!

Irritating is being polite. Retire it and save the embarrassment of those 40+ years olds marching up the steps to their seats doing that silly arm movement.

[Weststander]

A shit song.

Contemporary music obviously wasn’t young Tony Bloom’s passion, his favourite this dirge from the past.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

It was fun but they have kicked the arse out of it.

 

[Sea Cider]

Utterly awful.

Was it at the end of the incredible Leicester game that they played it so that everyone felt forced to join in instead of singing OUR songs for the players?

 

[RexCathedra]

My Daughter -- named Caroline -- has actually walked out of the stands when it comes on at Fenway Park.
Hate it. Not a Boston song, no connection with the city or the team. There are alternatives...



Played after home wins...

 

[Easy 10]

I absolutely DESPISE this song now. As has been said, its been absolutely done to death. Not helped by the ponytailed latte-sucking advertising goons at William Hill adopting it for their shitty TV and radio ad campaigns, still wanging on and on and on with it well over a year after the Euros. Its like being constantly beaten over the head with a welly.

Its not just worn thin. Its burned down through the Earths crust, burrowed into the core and exploded, turning the molten maga into a raging inferno of white-hot yellowy-brown stinking liquid SHIT

Make your mind up, do you like it or not?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I love a slice of Neil D, as cheesy as he can be. I still wake in a cold sweat though at the memory of the England women conga-ing into that press conference singing It’s Coming Home.

 

[Sea Cider]

Again. What the actual f***. This post game music is the definition of TINPOT. Totally ruined our opportunity to sing OUR OWN SONGS at the end of the match after a historic win.

PLEASE TURN IT OFF ALBION.

 

[zefarelly]

I f***ing hate it

I f***ing hate music at football full stop.

Disagree it was great….it seemed a lot loved it judging by the post match celebrations..shrug

 

[Sea Cider]

Ha, yeh just my personal opinion, and plenty sung along happily! Just feels totally unnecessary, why not just let us sing our own songs?

The crowd desperately trying to sing a De Zerbi song over the top of the clanging loudspeaker was case in point

 

[dejavuatbtn]

I thought it had been banned since Rod Stewart killed it the other week.
