In other chants he has noted the death of Brian Clough, a soccer star from the past; marked the end of Arsenal's 49-game winning streak, and commented on the fact that three top English players are now playing for Real Madrid, a glitzy team that has not done so well this season. To the tune of "Three Little Maids from School" from "The Mikado," it begins:
Three brittle boys in Spain are we,
Each of us prone to injury.
"Real" signed us all for a handsome fee;
Three brittle boys in Spain.
You know a sport is rough when the chants are sung to Gilbert and Sullivan.
