I do not want to see Everton relegated so please Spurs let them have a point.

I went to the cinema.

Yet again my choice to not watch Everton is vindicated

Fair weather fan.

So I'm watching the Liverpool v. Inter game and there was an interruption for some kind of fan illness in the stands. There was another game I was watching on the weekend where this also happened. I'v noticed this happen two or three other times in the past year. Yet before this I have NEVER noticed this.
Anyone else notice this? What gives? New protocols on fan illnesses?

Yeah, recently happened with a Sunderland game too, delayed play for a good hour and meant it didn't finish till nearly 11pm; the ill fan unfortunately died too.

It is strange. I wonder if people not being used to crowds could be a factor. I certainly don't think it's something so simple as new rules; a guy passing out in the stands and dying does seem like something that would make the news even if the game goes on whilst it's happening.


Thinking about this more I thinkkkkk I can remember it happening in a Premier league game a decade ago?
Can't remember what teams though.

Wow they're actually doing it:

On a personal note, sorry this is happening to your club Tamas. 

I mean, I'm ecstatic (    ) but also I feel bad for you and other Chels fans who hated Roman but still loved your club.

[Sheilbh]

No idea how a club functions with those restrictions - apparently government is open to allowing it to be sold (which would require another licence) but it would need to be in a way where the proceeds were also frozen.

People pointing out the, I think, £20k limit on travel for matches which may be challenging in European games.

Feel for Tamas and other fans who didn't chant "Roman Abramovich" as you say Although I can't think of many funnier days to have a look at Arsenal or Spurs Twitter if you're inclined that way

[HVC]

I don't feel bad for them, they've been fine with dirty money buying them championships for 20 years.

The Arsenal supporter Discord I'm in has been celebrating like we've won the league 

Arsene knew.

Worked for Chel$ky though. 

Old-guard PSG fans (pre-QSI) would say it worked for Marseille, along with other shenanigans.

You forgot to adress the second sentence, at the very least.
