Thought id put this together for some of our new 'limited'-English speaking players so that they can communicate with their new team-mates ASAP.

1) Call that tracking back? My Nan can run faster than that you lazy s**t!
2) Thought you were supposed to have an engine you lazy git!
3) If you do another step-over that leads to an opposition goal im going to break your toe you ponce!

(I reserve the right to edit this list post each game, feel free to do the same!)

I think the lack of responses sums this one up... From what I gather most of the new players speak pretty competent english...

someone else saw the Glass and said something like "you can talk mate, with those coke-bottle glasses!"

The opening post is a little bit redundant, isn't it. Are there not more players with French as their 1st. language than English? Among the 11 best, that must be the case.
So what does that imply. Maybe it's not the foreigners who should learn the meaning of obscure idioms like "cutting the mustard", but the English players who should understand better ie. C’est des conneries!
I mean, Lloris, Kaboul, Bentalbeb, Capoue, Stamoubli, Adebayor outnumbers Rose and Walker, am I right?

As a side note, all clubs, all leaders, need to adept a Mourinho-quote.
"Eggs. You know? And omelettes? No eggs, no omelettes. And depends on the quality of the eggs. In the supermarket you have class 1 class 2 class 3 eggs. Some are more expensive, and some give better omelettes. If class 1 eggs are in Waitrose, and you cannot shop there. You have a problem"
