Last time England were in the Euro semi finals at Wembley the DJ played You'll Never Walk Alone and the whole crowd sang along, utter sickos.

I always like listening to the other anthem but it's volume muted during the awful dirge

Yipchaa!
Easy to bellow in a crowd, essentially.
Neil Diamond is down to his last ten million dollars?
Been a thing in various corners of English football for a while, notably at Oxford I think. It's a catchy singalong, gets people on their feet and warmed up

Aaaaaaaaaand still Wembley boos and whistles the opposition anthem.
To be honest, it'd make us losing easier to take to know it'd make those cunts unhappy.

Can't really be arsed to care tbh
“Sweet Caroline” has a long association with sport, particularly in the United States.
The Boston Red Sox baseball team play it at every home game – a tradition dating back to 1997.
It is said the stadium DJ first played it in honour of a baby girl named Caroline, who had just been born to a member of team staff.
It caught on and became a regular fixture at Fenway Park – and these days is also played by the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, among others.

The song blared out over the Wembley speakers after last week’s 2-0 win over Germany, and fans around the country to celebrate Saturday’s quarter-final victory over Ukraine.
But how has an American song from the ’60s turned into an England favourite?

‘Sweet Caroline’ and sports
“Sweet Caroline” has a long association with sport, particularly in the United States.
The Boston Red Sox baseball team play it at every home game – a tradition dating back to 1997.
It is said the stadium DJ first played it in honour of a baby girl named Caroline, who had just been born to a member of team staff.
It caught on and became a regular fixture at Fenway Park – and these days is also played by the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, among others.
In the UK, the song is popular at football clubs including Aston Villa and Chelsea, and will often be played over the stadium speaker after wins.
England cricket fans sing it from the stands, and it is also a favourite at boxing matches.
Wembley DJ Tony Parry made the decision to play “Sweet Caroline” after the win over Germany, and it went down a storm.
He told TalkSport: “I was going to play ‘Vindaloo’, but went with my gut.
“Even the German fans were belting it out in the end. It’s a song that all fans can enjoy.
“The match director said in my in-ear: ‘The world’s been closed for 18 months… let ’em have it’.”
Part of its popularity is very simple: it is a fun song to belt out in a group, with fans adding “so good, so good, so good” to the middle of the chorus.
