Big Fat Sams Blue and White Army would have me rolling around on the floor crying with laughter if I heard it.

[john-rover]

Er No.

It Has to be BIG FAT SAM'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY.

Probable have us all hysterics the first time it is sung - don't know how Big Sam will take it though.

[Ozz]

Oh-I see we have appointed Sam. The list in now no longer endless it appears. Fat Sam it is then. Apologies.

[grizfoot]

It works best with three syllables, ala Un-cle Jack-s, Mark-Hughes-'s, Sou-ness-'s, Paul-Ince-'s

So based on that it has got to be either 'Big Fat Sam's' or 'Alla-dyce-s'. You could indeed drag out Big Sam's but it doesn't roll of the tongue like Big Fat Sam's.

So Big Fat Sam's Blue and White Army it is.

Alternative song maybe:

He's big, he's round,

He's sending West Ham/Citeh/Sunderland (use appropriate) down,

Big Sam, Big Sam.

[snatchymcsnatch]

I'll be a happy chappy on Saturday if we can get some rousing renditions of "The Great Escape" going.

[philo]

he's big, he's fat

he likes it like that

big sam, big sam

[Hughesy]

He blue, he’s white

Hes shafting gartsides wife

Allardyce

Allardyce

[ace]

Why don't we just use his initials ( including his rarely used first name Boniface).."BSA's Blue n white .." etc/ We cud even get some motorbikers to sponsor us..

[tcj_jones]

It's got to be 'Big Fat Sam's blue and white army'. We can turn the derogatory nickname into an affectionate one now he is out manager!

he's big, he's fat

he likes it like that

big sam, big sam

Simply stunning!

[Roverall]

Belly's gonna get ya?

[CAPT KAYOS]

No for me it has to be to the tune of Bad Manners 'Lip up Fatty'

'we've got fatty ,

oh we got fatty

fatty Ally , Ally Ally, Ally'

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Eh? It's Uncle Sam of course.

[Ben-2000]

Eh? It's Uncle Sam of course.

Settle down!

Big Fat Sam's Blue n White Army... there's no other option surely!

[bazza]

Takes me back to a motorway services car park on the way to the old Wembley for the play-off final. My mate and I standing openmouthed watching our wives (who have no interest in football) dancing arm in arm singing "Big Fat Jack's Barmy Army". Of course we later changed it to "Uncle Jack's Barmy Army" out of respect.

But if Sam doesn't mind, it's got to be, "Big Fat Sam's Barmy (or Blue and White) Army.

It slides off the tongue.

Paul Ince's, Mark Hughes's, Graeme Sounesses, just never rang true.
