British export to France? Don't think so, but could be wrong
Spectator is Latin for starters

No mate.
Imprimis, i think, would be Latin for starters.

'Let's eat Granny' moment

For starters, spectator is Latin, I think.

But "spectateur" is French.
And surprise surprise, it means the same as Spectator in
English.

Spectator or actually ‘Spectātor’ is Latin for observer, or ‘looker on’
Starters in Latin is Incipio meaning "began", "started", "undertook", or "initiated"
I know what you meant really

That's the point though, which one is the import and which one is the export?
I think the French came first but like I say, could be wrong

Not that suprising tbh

The FA should send them mugs from SKY sports to every ground on matchday to apologise over the tannoy when anyone swears

Its about context. (I think) I take my wife and three kids and swear, angrily and loudly sometimes.
What I don't like is the constant abuse that and drivel some fans come out with. On Sunday I was sat next to a young woman who was with her grandad. She was delightful, everyone was a effing c work, if a spurs player was injured she wanted the effer to die. She just sounded stupid my teenage daughters were embarrassed for her. We had a similar experience at the Peterborough game, three blokes in their 50's exactly the same, clowns.

Hats off to you mate one of the reasons I go the match is to get away from my bird and kids

My wife is a Yank and it blew her mind that our fans can be so angry and spiteful to our own players. She wont ever go to another game. I live in Canada now, North American sports are all about family values and fun. It’s great but a franchise will never be a real team so the spirit isnt in it. Im torn between the passion of anger and swearing and a great wholesome day out watching sport.

I have been at many a base ball, american football game where fans have kicked off on each other inside the stadium. 5 occasions I can remember beer induced brawls close to me not to mind swear words/abuse.

Chelsea seem to have two squads of players, how is it allowed?
