I've never been a lover of Adeles music but that is fantastic. Plus, seeing the buildings in the sunlight from there makes you realise how beautiful this City really is.
I lived in the Old Town for fourteen years, passed those buildings every day and saw how beautiful they are but from that view, stunning.
I think there’s a valuable lesson in all of this (just on a serious note hahah) and that is, no matter the adversity, keep pushing for your dreams. Acun said EPL, you’d be lucky if 1% of fans believed it, especially after the money problems, but he clearly never took his eyes from the prize. There’s a lot to learn from that and I wish I could apply it a lot better in my life.

No 'frissons' for me, hate this, why do they feel associated with it? 'Rocking all over the world ', that's crap too - just, why?
Not my cup of tea either but I suppose it'll run it's course until most realise they can't hit the highs vocally
I think lyrically parts of it could be interpreted as pertinent to our situation & as such it’s a big “**** you”, from the players, to all the clueless self proclaimed experts that turned out to be know nowt ****s.
For reference watch the first 5 mins of PottsHarmer’s video

I get that there must be some reason for it, I just find her particularly objectionable. But putting my own prejudice aside, it seems an odd choice for a group of blokes.
It does. But it’s when things come together that the team like it and things catch on when there’s a good feeling around. May last may go but at the time it was part of the togetherness of a real team effort.
On an aside how hell did stoke end up with Delilah??
I was always under the impression that there was a bar called that near the Victoria ground, but apparently not so:
'Stoke City fans sing Tom Jones's "Delilah" because it was adopted as an unofficial terrace anthem in the 1980s. The tradition began during an away match in Derby when police asked supporters to stop singing profane chants, leading fans to put the 1968 hit on the pub jukebox.The club's adoption of the song is deeply rooted in local football folklore:The Jukebox Origin: Lifelong Stoke supporter Anton Booth is widely credited with kicking off the trend. While in a pub before an away match, he was hoisted onto a table to lead the chant after the song started playing.The Musical Link: Some older fans believe the tradition stems from a 1975 Sensational Alex Harvey Band concert at Stoke's Victoria Ground, where the crowd raucously sang along to the group's popular cover of the track.The Stokie Twist: The crowd passionately bellows the chorus, adapting the lyrics to include their own club-specific, often bawdy additions between the lines.'
I feel dirty now.
Interesting read. Guess as football fans we are bizarre to the end.

At the city hall celebrations there was a group of lads in front of me laughing and exchanging knowing comments as he gave his speech going through all the usual lines. They seemed to be playing some form of Acun bingo.English translation,

Well, her voice grates on me for one thing, and it might be different now, but at the time it looked like she dumped her child because he didn't fit in with her career.
I think that there is a group culture in the team that is to do as much of a piss take as they can. Stuff like going out in full kit, Crooks trying to get a song about Coyle sung on the terrace might just be part of the having a laugh in the group. Bad haircuts and clothing choice, the fancy dress, all are the sort of stuff that teams do.
The Adele song might have started that way. A favourite karaoke song of Hughes.
Who knows.
What I do know is that you cannot plan these sort of things in, they are organic.
