Tottenham has become the first club in the Premier League since 2003 to not buy a player in the off season. Brexit was blamed.

I am going to laugh if they end up winning the league this season.

As least we know the nature of his game.

Rapid Wien was hosting Slovan Bratislava yesterday. In the past there'd been clashes of hooligans of the clubs, so police were doing border checks (severa fans were sent back because they were packing brass knuckles, knives, balaclavas, and the likes).

The subway towards the stadium had to suspend services after Bratislava supporters tore a door from a subway car. The train had to be stopped, electricity on the part of the track killed and all passengers evacuated.

The "fans" went on to loot a gas station. The police (ca. 1,000 of them) put the area on lockdown. Tram lines in the area were suspended because fans were blocking streets, using illegal fireworks etc. Police started ID checks on everyone, so most of these guys missed the 0-4 defeat of their team in the stadium.

The police then organized buses to take the hooligans back to their parked cars on the Vienna periphery because the Viennese public transports refused to let them back onto the subways.

All of this will be paid for by the tax payer.

I do understand why many of my friends here in Vienna have a very dim view of football and its fans.

What is it with Eastern Europe and hooliganism?
I've been told in Poland normal people never go anywhere near football stadiums at match time as its just for hooligans.
