Frank Lampard telling Jurgen Klopp to 'f*** off', Gerard Pique's rant at Antoine Griezmann and Marcus Rashford turning the air blue: Empty stadium incidents we'd NEVER have heard before lockdown

Nearly a year on, the audibility of Premier League matches has become a source of several major stories, ranging from the shocking to the hilarious.
