legov Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Uh oh Terry out. I know he was out of form before being hit by his current injury but surely he's got to be better than the joker David Luiz and Cahill who just isn't good enough.

Voinjama Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I best get learning Italian, because literally no none there speaks English Considering you don't know what 'literally' means I'm not sure your English is the best either. My English is fine smart arse. I have a very good command of the language, and I also have a good command of Japanese and Frisian. Add into the equation my German is improving as a result of living here, I am not doing too badly. Want me to teach you any of these? Oh no wait, your so incredibly intelligent I guess you speak multiple languages already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Italian phrasebook would probably be all you need to get by. Did me for trips to Florence and Milan. Best pizza I've had (and I've not been to Naples, admittedly; as much as I'd love to make a pizza-based pilgrimage it's just too hairy a prospect) was this place; tiny little restaurant, gigantic pizzas, so creamy and rich.

Best pizza I've had (and I've not been to Naples, admittedly; as much as I'd love to make a pizza-based pilgrimage it's just too hairy a prospect) was this place; tiny little restaurant, gigantic pizzas, so creamy and rich. Had a friend recently visit Turin, Naples, and Rome, and a few smaller cities. He only knew the very basics of Italian, and when he was speaking there, they did not understand him (maybe he was saying the words wrong). So he switched to English and they still did not understand him. This was the case in all the places he visited there, including the tourist areas. He said it was a real struggle. Contrast that to Sweden, where they encouraged him to speak English rather than Swedish. I think in certain European countries Englishis taught from a young age, Germany, Holland, Scandinavia, Belgium, Austria and a few others. In Italy it is probably not. But we native English speakers must make more of an effort with other languages, especially when we go to their countries. Anyway completely off topic. Tonight I want a big Napoli win, the more chaos at the Bridge, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 But we native English speakers must make more of an effort with other languages, especially when we go to their countries. Absolutely. I know everytime I go back over to Germany I can speak English as much as I need to, but I never do unless I'm really, really stuck (and even then I make it obvious I'm trying my hardest).

Same with me now in München. When I hear 7 year old German kids (friends daughter) speaking perfect English with correct grammar and tense, I am so impressed. UK education system needs an overhaul.

I rate Cahill, I think playing in a better team with better players around him will mean he plays better. His performances for Boltonin the last few months were not great, but I noticed for England he was playing really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2012 Tonight I want a big Napoli win, the more chaos at the Bridge, the better. I heartily endorse this sentiment. Or "this" as the yoof might say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2012 And since when did Cahill do anything to warrant not being good enough for Chelsea? He's hardly had a chance yet. I think he'll be just fine. And on the subject of language. I learned all of my Swedish from the muppet show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 David Luiz is just awful. I know Torres cost a silly amount, but Luiz is single handedly destroying Chelsea, absolputwly dreadful defender that makes James Collins look like McGrath.
