Crabbycanary3 994 Posted May 22, 2021 I've watched this so many times. Hairs stand up on the back of my neck, every time I hear/see this. Next best thing to OTBC at Wembley. Not only a great song, but for it to be sung by thousands at such a (winning) occasion. Special moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it attracts a lot of negative attention but I also like the place. One of my children came close to going to Uni there (but went travelling instead) , and I was all for it. The City had a great vibe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The continual contradiction of footy fans wanting the best for their club (we would want want to pay Buendia a fortune to stay at Carrow Road, for example) whilst despising the fact that money-making is involved. It's a business. Stadiums need maintaining, players have their own interests to support, staff need paying. So the 'Pool' made a bit, sold some shirts and that, but at least 100, 000 seemed to have had a damn good time as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct in what you say What I was really getting at was the SoL and OTBC songs were sung at games that had something tangible riding on it. Trophies that meant so much to fans of not so global Clubs. 'Proper' (I know!) fans able to celebrate the Clubs they have (more than likely) supported since they were bairns, waiting for a long time to celebrate such a moment. A victory for the smaller teams if you like 😉 It seems to mean more to me than a game where those factors do not come into play. I acknowledge the global reach out etc, but how many of those 95,000 will ever set foot in Anfield, on a 'special/meaningful' night and sample the great atmosphere that place can generate?
