Some good ones [here](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/funny_old_game/7400810.stm). Being a financial geek, my favorite is the one used by Derby County fans against Newcastle\*: “You should have banked with The Woolwich!”

\*Newcastle is sponsored by Northern Rock, the U.K. bank now under “temporary” public ownership after its spectacular collapse last year in the fallout from the credit crunch.

There’s some great ones on there.

Personal favourite:

> “If there is a qualified referee in the ground, please can he make himself known to a steward.”  
> **Half-time at Fulham v Boro after a few questionable decisions.**

They’re missing the best one i heard this season though:

> [@](#):

> “There’s only one Prince Philip!”  
> **West Ham fans to Fulham Fans (and owner Mohammed Al-Faed)**

Priceless! We miss out on so much here in America. \<sigh\>

One of these days, we might wake up and appreciate understated humor. :smack:
