O/T:- Favourite Opposition's Football Song/Chant

[Elite_Pie]

Well that's a **** footy song!

I've adapted it a bit courtesy of The Manic Street Preachers:

If you tolerate this, then your opinion will be nil, will be nil, will be ni-il.

Stoke may well have been the loudest ever at ML but they were local rivals, usually our biggest fixture around the turn of the millennium, always filled the away stand and we were often promotion rivals when we played them after they introduced that song into their terrace mix. If we'd only ever met them in the EFL Trophy since 1998 then we'd probably overlook them. You could say the same thing about Cov but "Delilah" says nothing about them as a club, unless they have a disproportionate number of wife/girlfriend murderers among their fan base (it is Stoke though, so maybe they do). The first time I heard them do it, I thought WTF because of the way it goes silent in between the bursts of noise in the build up, but after the 2nd or 3rd time that novelty had worn off and it just sounded a stupid song for a football crowd to sing.
If we were playing say Crystal Palace at home on the final day of the season and they needed 3 points to go up and got them with a late winner, then they'd no doubt make a greater noise than Stoke with "Glad All Over". How loud a fanbase is depends on the numbers, you can have a pathetic song and still make a lot of noise with it, see Fword.
