For more context Man Utd suffered their biggest loss in 90ish years to our most bitter rivals: https://rdrama.net/h/sports/post/152107/marseygunshotsuicide
That particular dish is a plain prata which locals call "kosong" which means "zero" in Malay, so 7 "kosong" pratas for free means...

I love learning about foreign language idioms and turns of phrase.
My Dutch friend tells me there is a saying over there: "Helaas pindakaas". The literal translation is "Unfortunately peanut butter", but it means "too bad".
"Helaas" means "unfortunately" and I'm told the second word was chosen just because it rhymes in Dutch.

I don't swear much anymore but a common one used by people of all races would be "chee bye" which means "c*nt"
It's a little bit too close to "X (formerly chiobu)" if you ask me...
