Yerknow…..

NO I DON'T.

yawn

for sure.

"kerching" and "French underwear model" are the only words they seem to need to know.

at the end of the day…

I know a footballer and he knows quite a lot of words.

Just for balance, like.

Doesn't Cav spend every interview saying "Yer know"? We used to have mini bets how how many times he would say it in a post stage win during last year's TdeF.

As for footballers… no idea.

Random use of the word 'obviously' is a particular bug bear.

whinge
moan
complain
there's something on tv i don't like
i'm too clever to watch football, me
me me me

vocabuulary of more than few stw'ers

I do like when Gerrard goes 'eerrrrrrrmmmmm' in his accent, sounds brilliant.

the gaffa
erm
ya know
the lads gave me some stick
as i say

All with random ear twiddling thrown in, wwaswas that's the extended dutch vocab 🙂

Very true. I LIKE football, btw.

so and so done brilliant

I'm a footballer, your place or mine?

I heard David James on the radio today reflect that a possible game with Argentina would be as important as a game with Germany as it would have " a different set of historical values ".

But don't let that piece of evidence spoil the really valid point that you're making.

I was like you know like he gone for the ball and you know he like passed it and Wazza passed it to Dazza so the gaffa said we had to be more clinical like and need to pass pass pass liek we did innit?

Saying "the manager" repeatedly.

the boy done well
tbh everyone sounds dumb talking about football but some of them are quite dumb.

i must say i've enjoyed all bunnyhop's appearances on tv, very coherent and intelligent use of language when making a pertinent point

I would quite happily be as fick as a futballer with the money they are on.

what shame you have to make do with being as thick for your wages 😉
😆
No offence meant at all M-F could not resist.

Pelanty haha that little gem is reserved for Chris Waddle the retarded turtle looking numbskull, the only thing his opinion is good for is the bin.

The eloqution and media handling skills of the players of Man.City have not really had any influence on my decision to buy a season ticket each year to be honest but now you mention it, I'm going to demand a quote from Shakespeare everytime Tevez sticks one in.
There's a thought, maybe Manu is quoting Keates but no bugger can understand a word he's saying.
The BBC bod who booked him for the pre, half time and post match discussion is signing on on Tuesday :-}

Don't forget most of top players have never seen the inside of a real school. Most of them are plucked out of reallity at real young age. Given the choice of a good vocabulary or n@bbing Cheryl Cole and drivig round in some excesive cars I don't think I would have to think too hard.

Init.

Well Brian, there it was in the back of the net.

And apparently until quite recently John Terry had never heard the word "No".

Rugby commentators are the same. How many times have we got to hear "strength in depth" or that Joe Bloggs is a good "servant" to rugby (images of a prop forward, dressed like Jeeves, ironing the Daily Telegraph for m'lud) and that so and so "likes HIS rugby" (no, he likes HIS wife, HIS bike and HIS dinner, but simply LIKES rugby). I guess it's because it's so difficult to keep talking, even when there's nothing to talk about, that the temptation to trot out the old cliches is just too strong.

LOL at Neil's on wheels!

Anyone else notice that most of the foriegn players in the premiership speak better English than the English players.Jan Molby had to be the best though,Danish but spoke scouse like a native!

going on about 'touch' boils my p1ss… he's got his touch back, he's got a great first touch… gah

Aye he's got lovely feet.

Here's some evidence, just in, from an interview yesterday. It's true, he'd barely be understood in the oasis of eloquence that is STW.

Wages of a footballer – HUGE
Nuff said…. 8)

There have been a good few intellectuals and philosophers play football. Amongst them Socrates, Zola and of coures Mark Hughes*
