Keep hearing how scary these ultra groups are , yet all they seem to do is march in numbers bang drums and light sparklers . Ooh scary

I had a similar point of view until I lived in Poland, watched football there, and then other matches in Belarus, Moldova, Serbia and Russia.

The most shocking thing about the violence on show was that certain people enjoyed it and didn't seem to care if the target of said aggression, died.

On more than one occasion, people wanted to have a pop at me just because I was English. I don't mind defending myself against ******, but not when they have hammers, machetes and bricks with nails sticking out of them.

J League games are as dangerous as dropping my little girl off at playschool, thankfully.

Wouldn’t the bricks shatter when the nails went in?

Also very unergonomic to throw, and also to transport to site of rumble.

Perhaps they were baked in during manufacture, that would work. Although I doubt there would be a large commercial market.

I've been going to watch Polonia Warszawa for years and hardly seen any bother there. Legia do have their fair share of idiots, although violence is not as commonplace as it once was. I don't see what the problem is with giving Legia the same share of seats as they gave us, a few more hundred won't cause much of a security problem. The bigger risk could be Legia fans turning up without tickets (there are lots of Legia fans that live in the UK) and causing bother around town.

I'd give them the full 3000 and just enjoy a free fireworks display

Zaniolo is in the training pics from today, so looks like whatever kept him out of the Spurs game wasn't long term.

Does that depend on if you open it via the app or the web?

Of course they'll be fine. They might see a few fireworks to talk about at school on Friday.
