I think Mr Cook needs to get his pen and pad out, scribble some lyrics, tinkle some ivories, slide some sliders on the mixing board, blow the dust off his CDJ's, and come up with an all-new Anthem!
He's a Brighton nut, so he'll be on here I'm sure. Norman Quentin Cook - do your shizzle buddy!!
After, as you say. Not before, which is when you want a song to get the pulse up and the blood coursing....
Sweet Caroline is a cheery, happy, celebratory kind of song (if you're into that kind of thing) - not something to fire you right up
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'...
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:
