Jose's Gomes barmy army

[Singing Defective]

Now all we need is a win, so “we’re only singing when we’re winning”. If so I’ll sing this stirring ditty...If.

Huh? No it doesn't. It doesn't scan at all...

'Jose's Barmy Army', has the same meter as 'Jaap Stam's Barmy Army', if you emphasise the syllables of Jose's (Jo-se's).

Too long and drawn out.

Four syllables (Jose Gomes) work better. Similar to Stevie Coppell's Barmy Army.

I used to start chants every game for years. Getting rid of the surname would rhythmically ruin the chant. Noone would sing that!

Oliveira, Oliveira,
lost his nose to Aston Villa.
Oliveira, Oliveira,
