No.. It's goal music.

If we got docked points for all the times we scored at home and got points from those games in which we had the music, I'd applaud the Football League

For me, it was not sacking Owen Coyle 12 months earlier, and supporting his transfer policy of getting two League One players for every position instead of one Premiership player.

In that period we turned down Alan Ball, Roger Hunt and Martin Dobson. Declined to give a trial to Colin Bell. Had missed to opportunity to sign Duncan Edwards and lost an ambitious Francis Lee.

All clubs lose a few but that was a special 4 or 5 years.
