It was a general comment - the need for chants of a personal nature - hand gestures - abuse. All added together makes for a pretty poor environment. Not all the time obviously but I think these fans think they can get away with it in a football stadium, safety in numbers etc. It will change eventually.

The Kenny Burns comment was from a time when chants were generally less-malicious, but there was more violence. The exception was racism - it was a different world sadly.

Now the chants can be far worse (Beckham in the 00s used to get some pretty disgusting ones, yet society is a lot less violent.


Odd.

Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
