Read the interview Gus did in the telegraph the other day (Here)

This bit:
“I then lived almost 20 years in Holland before coming over to England. So that’s why I am still Brazilian, but from the inside I feel more Dutch than Brazilian.”

Got me thinking if his "He's Brazilian" song sits a bit weird with him?! Sounds like his time in Brazil holds bad memories.

I'm not under any allusion that we could change it now, way to much of a fixture in our repertoire. But how would it go if we could make a second verse?

I'm shite at these things, there are way better songsmiths on here but how about I kick off with..

Gus is Dutch, he didn't cost that much.

Sexy passing and perfect
touch..

Always thought the song didn't fit. He's not really Brazilian. It's like the Wales fans singing 'He's from England' to half their team.

Read the article maybe

Adopted by a Dutch couple, put in a children's home with his brother, doesn't think of his biological parents as 'parents'. Feels Dutch rather than Brazilian.

It would never happen,the song is set would be impossible to change.

Valid question though. The Guy openly says he feels more Dutch than Brazilian.

I am not sure it's worth worrying too much about factual accuracy in football chants. Fond of him though I am I am not sure O'Hare is the Solihul Messi, or that we will never lose. Also Doyle did give the ball away rather a lot.

I also think McSheffrey being better than Henry was dubious.

I think the Big Mo song has to go down as our most factually correct song that I can remember; no exaggeration, no hyperbole, just stating the two undeniable facts that he comes from Bosnia, and he is indeed a big old lad.

Andy Whing definitely had red hair, and I for one didn't care. Maybe others did though.

Yeah, the 'we' as a collective ruins the factuality of that one, there's bound to be at least one anti ginger out there who was bothered by it.

Also if you want to be super persnickety, you could say his hair isn't red, and is one of a variety of other shades down to one's own opinion/eyesight.

I was assuming that anyone bothered by it wouldn't sing the chant. Or might even have refused to go to games out of protest.

Could be wrong.

I never asked him that but he was adamant he only spoke Dutch and English so by the process of elimination I guess not

I genuinely cared about Greg having no hair….did anyone suggest changing the song because it wasn’t true… did they feck.

He also cost us £1.3m not a million.

And we needed Cantona even though we had Wegerle.

If football songs need to be accurate, I've got my suspicions that QPR aren't in fact by far the greatest team the world has ever seen
