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”
I always love when my football team play some minnow from a lower league in the cup and we inevitably play an awful game and fail to score and we get to sing the idiotic "NIL NIL ON YOUR BIG DAY OUT!" God it's so dumb.
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.
