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.

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.

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?

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?
