Spain mourns as Yellow Submarine sinks in floods of tears

“GOODBYE Cruel Football,” reads the massive splash headline on yesterday’s edition of Marca, Spain’s largest-selling sports tabloid.

Sadly, it was reading for masochists only, as the nation's football fans wandered around with the kind of stunned expression of someone who has walked into a lamppost, holding their heads and muttering: "How did that happen?"

Thus it was as Spain mourned the sinking of the Yellow Submarine fatally holed by the Gunners from London.
