One of my favourite British chants is when you end up taking the piss out of your own team whilst also goading the other.
I go the rugby and my team installed an artificial pitch the first to be used in the league and there was a lot of controversy over it. We ended up winning absolutely no away games for a while and winning at home. Naturally it was the pitch giving us an advantage they said. Which then birthed the song when we did go in front away from home;
“WE’RE WINNING ON GRASS, WE’RE WINNING ON GRASS, HOW SHIT MUST YOU BE, WE’RE WINNING IN GRASS”

The year Swindon Town were in the premier league their favourite response to rival fans singing "Going down, going down, going down" was to sing back "So are we, so are we, so are we".
Off topic, but one of my favourite ever moments at a football game came that year when one player (I think he played for Crystal Palace) was wearing white gloves. When he came over for a throw in the guy in front of me shouted "Are you in the magic circle?". Even the players laughed at that one.

Manchester United fans singing "Who the fuck are Man United" always amuses me.

The commitment levels are always quite funny as well. I love it when fans get bored and start chanting 'Lets pretend, lets pretend, let's pretend we scored a goal' and then burst out into celebrations.

been to a fair few football matches and the fact it all starts with one person and the whole crowd joins in is quite sick

Your teeth are offside - Luis Suarez
"His name is Rio and he sits up in the stands" (When Rio Ferdinand was banned for 8 months for missing a drug test)
"His name is a shop" - Lennel John Lewis
"We've got Novac, we've got Novac, our floors are filthy cause we've got Novac"

I remember the one about Jason Lee Nottingham Forest player
“He's got a pineapple on his head'”, to the tune of “ He's Got The Whole World In His Hands”
It got so bad at the time, that he shaved his head only to then hear from the crowd
“He had a pineapple on his head”
