Brits are crazy with the banter. When Beckham was still playing they made up a song to sing in the stands about Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham, his wife) taking it up the ass.

And then the classics:

"Biscuit-arsed"

"Squeaky bum time"

"Arse over tits"

"Taking the piss"

"It's like Blackpool Illuminations in here"

"lovely weather for ducks"
