Onodi you mean? Hungarian I think but Finland is a close enough guess for an Englishman. P.S I have no idea where you're from, just felt like making the joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Carson says hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't ideal but he fitted the role for a season even if he wasn't very good after the England error and then we just went and signed Friedel for 3m and sorted the keeper position for a few years. Considering Carson was going to cost 10m it was good we took him on loan than sign him outright and be lumbered with a keeper lacking in confidence and so joined likes of Shorey, Davies, Beye, Reo Coker etc in the O'Neill bomb squad.

I had an Hungarian colleague a few years back and he said something about the language being not similar to any of the countries around but very similar to Finnish. Also, the peolpe who settled in Hungary and Finland came from Mongolia originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are thought to be similar because they are part of the same language family, but by the same logic you would expect English, Russian and Farsi to be similar, as they are all Indo-European. Finnish and Estonian are much closer to one another, but I'm not sure to which degree they are mutually intelligible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your understanding is correct, and a gold star for the eloquent explanation! So when Mr Purslow travels to negotiate the transfer of the Finnish player Glen Kamara he cannot bring his Hungarian interpreter. They could just speak English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m not a fan. I think he talks to much. But then I don’t think any supporter should be a fan of the CEO. There once was a time we wouldn’t even know or care who the CEO was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tosses hand-grenade and leaves...) FFP doesn’t stop reckless owners loading clubs with debt. But it does stop our owners putting in as much as they want without creating any debt.

The Fun Factory Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I still can't decide on Purslow. Either he sounds like a cold blooded cuthroat businessman, or a salesman trying to sell you a timeshare in a Orlando Condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Finnish-Hungarian dictionary would be like an English-Icelandic version. Finnish and Estonian are more comparable...Estonians can generally understand Finnish, but Finns rarely know Estonian.
