FA Cup Saturday

It was the Insects FA Cup Final at Wembley and this year the Grasshoppers were playing the Earwigs. The Earwigs’ number 10 was having a shocker and to make matters worse his shirt was so small that only half his number (O) could be fitted on it. As he sat dejected in the dressing room at half-time, the trainer tried to cheer him up. “The fans are right behind you,” he said. “Just listen to them.” So they all listened and they could hear the chants ringing out: “Ear-Wig-O, Ear-Wig-O, Ear-Wig-O!”
