i actually feel really sorry for walcott.

I dont like the french as it is. But i would be p*ss*d off if all the conversations around me were in a foreign language.

Disrespect to the english game

Unless they move out of England then they will always be 'an English team' its just that they dont have (many)English players.





Shouldn't this be in General football anyway?

Have we done a crossbar challenge yet?

To be fair, they are speaking English, just poorly, and IIRC the interviews are in french as it's for French football 'magazine' as they call it, telefoot.

Also, apparently, foreign languages are banned in the changing room, as much as I hate them I doubt they would be so stupid to not make them learn english.

I would say Justin Hoyte will get the boot this summer as well, so looks like Theo is going to have to improve his GCSE French

Apparently it was known to be much worse a few years ago, when Vierra, Petit, Henry & Pires ran the dressing room.

Anyone other than French didn't get a look in.

there is plenty of english heard in that, I see no problem.

People piss and moan about overpriced English players and reckon we should sign foreign players, then winge about Arsenal because they do it better than us.

Jokers.

I wouldn't laugh at them on that score. If rumours are correct, and ramos starts to sell off some of our English players and get in 4 or 5 continentals, we could probably look as non-English.

Not entirely true.

They like to think they don't care about us, and always make noises to that effect, whereas in fact they do very much so. Particularly for the last 3 years where we've shown visible signs of improvement.

To be fair, they all pretty much talk english when they introduce themselves.
