I've always associated it with Arsenal, though I dunno if they started it. Now it seems to break out at some point in every match I watch.

To an extent I've always associated it with Arsenal, but only because I heard them sing it more regularly and as basically their anthem, whereas the likes of Spurs, Chelsea, Villa, Liverpool, Everton and many others sing it but as part of their songbook, rather than their anthem or most recognisable song. Its like that 'over land and sea' song though, not really specific to anyone club and sung by near enough anyone who can fit the name of the club into the tune. Think there's a United version which existed years ago and is never sung. There is actually a great song ending with 'Manchester United the Greatest of all' but sadly its a pub/retro song that no-one sings in the ground in substantial numbers these days.
Be a shame to go out of the FA Cup early. Always great for the supporters if we get drawn away from home and would be a shame to miss out on a few great trips. Fucking Sheffield Wednesday away needs to happen within my lifetime.
