We haven't had "Name Surname's Blue and White Army for a while". Might make a comeback. I assume we have to sing in a French accent like in 'Allo 'Allo?

Clutching here, but:

"We've got Julién,
we've got the mighty Julié'een Stephan
From the land of chablis, and l'escargot
And the chateubriand, the chateubria'and

Emerging talent like Vale, and the blistering pace of Paul Smyth, and when the ball goes backwards, we got Ziyad Larke'eche

Defending the goal with Paul Nardi(?), solidity with field and Vara'ane, but when the ball goes forward, Poku's the new Sta'an....

We've got Julién,
we've got the mighty Julié'een Stephan
From the land of chablis, and l'escargot
And the chateubriand, the chateubria'and

Julién, Julién Stepha'an, Julién, Julién Stepha'an, Julién, Julién Stepha'n, Julién Stephan...."

Nice.

I’d really prefer almost anything that doesn’t mention that lot up the road. There’s just no need.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Struggling with the Marti theme ringing in my heads so the best I could come up with was this:

Julien Stephan, what time ya leavin?
Is it by Christmas or are you ambitious?
....He's got a string of onions !

Whatever is sung should be in a warbly nasal Edith Piaff voice. Standards, you see.

Heard one fella on the stream yesterday trying to get something going with little or no success.

Can anyone who was there say what the lyrics were, I’m assuming it wasn’t very good?!

I think it was an escargot/merlot combo but I could be wrong. He didn't have much luck getting it going.

I thought it was something about driving a Peugeot (and having a dim view of Chelsea, naturally)?

When I was approached by the Controller of BBC Radio 3 with the offer of a commission for the new Julien Stephan cantata I readily accepted.

I had no qualms about this being a waste of the license fee. After all, if money could be found for Claudia Winkleman presenting a ‘Traitors Prom’ - with presumably Bradley Walsh’s ‘Blankety-Blank Prom’ to come - why not lay the talents honed by my lonely years of training at the Ian Guillard School of Music in New York at the service of true popular culture?

However it wasn’t long before I became aware of the challenges that lay ahead as I started to engage with the project. ‘Ode to Marti’ was spoken of with hushed reverence and had been accorded mystical powers - as if merely singing it out loud could change the course of history.

At the same time there were obvious possibilities for improvement. Both Stephan and Marti are immensely proud of the region from which they originated. Unfortunately in Martií’s case this could not be referenced directly - given that the nearest rhyme for ‘Catalonia’ is ‘catatonia’, with its dangerously dismal connotations and ‘Matalan’ for ‘Catalan’ being scarcely better. Stephan’s Breton pride provided greater opportunities for an inventive lyricist.

In other respects continuity was my watchword. The scorn and derision with which Stravinsky’s ‘Rite of Spring’ was received by the philistine Parisian public would be as nothing compared to the reception I could anticipate should I dare to omit the famous last line of ‘Ode to Martí’, with its trenchant combination of passion and wit.

Rhythmically matters were likewise more straightforward. I am, of course, aware of the many polyphonic and polyrhythmic time signatures that plague the modern game...6/8, 13/8, 4/2/3/1 etc but I prefer to stick with a more traditional 4/4 rhythm, since it is better suited to a mass choral work and also reflects the club’s continuing lack of an effective strikeforce .

Enough! I lay this humble contribution at the feet of my peers and await your judgement. Please do not allow tradition to deafen you to its merits. Remember: without experiment there can be no progress.

To the tune of ‘Volare’:
Ju-li-an (Oh-oh-oh-oh!’)
Ste-e-phan (Oh-oh-oh-oh!)
He comes from Brittany
He f**kin hates Chelsea
