Banging atmosphere tonight. Definitely did our bit. Being in the middle of it in ss1, It's hard to tell what the rest of the ground sounded like but it felt like the entire south stand and the kippax corner were all in unison throughout which made it sound a lot louder than usual and like the whole stadium joined in every song even though that's unlikely to be what happened. No pockets of competing songs like normal. Just everyone making noise as it should be.
One of mine that, and one of my favourites. got it going on the away concourses a few times but never really took off properly. Always considered it more of a coach song than a stadium one. Had considered repurposing it for haaland this season but just glad the tune is being used to a song now, its an all time classic. Sadly, I don't think the song will be around for a long time though, easy enough to change Istanbul line next year but soon as a player or two mentioned in it leaves its done.
That's the problem with the multi-player songs They have a short shelf life. "Weve got the best football team in the world" song will go the same way too. We had the best midfield version when it was "Yaya and silva, Navas and milner, nasri and fernandinhoooo" then it disappeared soon as nasri and milner left. Then there was the Argentinian blues song that last a season of being sung every 20 minutes. the "ederson, stones and otamendi, Kyle walker, kompany and Mendy, Fabian delph, playing guardiolas way" all top tunes that have to die early.
