Hate was a strong word, maybe tone that down to dislike.Hopeful but worried is the best I can manage right now.
Come on United!I'm usually very positive but think we will lose tonight.
Injury list is taking its toll and think this will be a step too much for the squad.
Different when you live in the country where you were born/raised though, compared to when you live abroad. It's not like you visited a guy in Argentina and you were surprised that he didn't speak English. It's a guy that's lived here for quite a while.
Actually yes, very strongly. If you decide to make another country your home, you should make a reasonable effort to learn the lingo. Unless it's one of those places with no identity like Singapore for example.The front 3 can interchange. Each & everyone of them can play anywhere in that front line. This should cause City all sorts of problems.I just hope we dont lose the game because of an individual error
My gut feeling. We wont turn up10/11, didn't have darmian.
Is this not what you thought going into the Chelsea game?
For all people are taking about injuries though, we're still able to field a fairly strong team.Spanish is so similar to English, living here for so long he would have picked up even without trying. So I'll assume he just doesn't want to use it in interviews because he's not fluent.Proper nervous here. Hate the fact all our matches until the end of the are absolutely crucial... makes every 90 mins from here on in absolute torture
Maybe he's tried. It's not particularly easy to learn a new language. Obviously I'm very impressed when someone is trilingual or a multilingual, but I think the real struggle is moving abroad and out of your comfort zone.
Is that the criteria you apply to someone who plys their trade abroad? Based on their earning?
I've a friend who has been working in Singapore for the last 3 years; earns a small fortune. Still doesn't speak the local language. Absolute cnut then!I've just thought how to put to bed the Manchester is red argument. Is Manchester known for its blue brick architecture? I thought not.
What does how much he earns have to do with it?
He's living here to do a job, and getting paid for it. There's nothing to suggest that he's not assimilating or adopting the culture, but he has a right to keep his own culture for himself also.
Plus he may have family back in Ecuador who will watch his interviews and record it for his nieces, nephews, cousins etc and they may not understand English but obviously want to know what it is he's saying.
And he may feel more comfortable speaking in his native language to avoid any errors.
And he's a grown man, he's not hurting anybody.
Enjoy it!Proper nervous here. Hate the fact all our matches until the end of the are absolutely crucial... makes every 90 mins from here on in absolute torture
Remember last season? It was over at Christmas
Balls. Brits who move to Singapore should be forced to learn Mandarin and Tamil. Let's see how long they last.
Good luck guys!
Yeah, noticed but tbh, it could have been any month and Rooney wouldn't count?
Couldn't be arsed to search the net for a 'fresh' one and don't get Photoshop.... you crack on though.
Yes, but our squad is even thinner now and we haven't really played a side like city for a while, it's a different kind of test.
Singapore is about as multilingual a country as it getsCan Carrick, Herrera and Fellaini make it happen? It Mkhitaryan going to come and help the team in the middle? This is going to be tough...A
And Marx lived there too. He's known for being a red not a blueIf you're travelling to the game make sure you arrive late if you want a seat.
No but in most walks of life if you move to a country to work then surely you should learn the language just to make your life a little easier? Yes, Sergio most likely does speak the language a little but when giving an interview to a U.K. based media outlet, surely you'd speak a little English if not for the fans? that's a fecking terrible reason to play for a side in an English speaking country, with English speaking fans, and hold your interviews in Spanish.Hot blonde alert!Hope Martial will shine tonightRequests for gifs of that girl in 3...2...
Hope it's as dramatic as that poster seems to be.
Looking forward to this.....D
So is England. Wasn't the point I was making but I think you knew thatIs that blonde Martials girlfriend?Not too confident with our team but it's as strong as we can put out imo. We need a Jose masterclass.
I'm trying but it's hard... Would love it for once we come out and blitz a team good and proper in the first 20 minutes just to calm the nervesLook at the state of that tunnel, like a movie prop from Promotheus. Fecking overly dramatic berties.They look stronger on paper but we are in better form. Uncallable. Good one!- Status
