NISSAN has unveiled the most advanced electric car it has ever made.

The Ariya, described as the start of a “new chapter” in the Japanese manufactur­er’s history, has been designed to offer powerful accelerati­on with zero emissions – packaged up in a futuristic shape with a luxury “lounge-like” cabin.

It has a range of up to 310 miles between charges.

WATFORD supporters are the biggest potty mouths in the Premier League.

That is the shock result produced by a study of more than 56,000 social media posts by football supporters.

Close to 9% of all tweets by fans of Watford – whose more polite followers include celebritie­s Sir Elton John, Jennifer Aniston and Anthony Joshua – contained swear words.

Crystal Palace fans were second with a score of 8.2% after the research found 229 of the 2,784 tweets by Eagles fans had expletives in them.

They were followed by north London’s Tottenham Hotspur in third.

The newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool are all the way down in 13th with 3.3%.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have the very least sweary fans with just 0.9% of their tweets found to include rude words, the study found.

19 Burnley 1.3% 20 Manchester United 0.9% for Paddy Power, which tweets by fans using the hashtags of all 20 top flight sides, said: “Now the Premier League is back, it’s been a good opportunit­y to take a seat on our socially distanced sofas and become the ultimate armchair fan.

“And by doing that, it seems it’s been a sweary time for football fans, too.

“Top of the profanity table is relegation-threatened Watford. And it’s hardly a surprise Jose Mourinho is causing Spurs fans to dish out expletives.

“We can only imagine what their blood pressure scores must look like.”

The most common swear word used in tweets were f*** (50%), sh*t (25%), bloody and crap (4%).
