Sorry, didn't mean to have the Alan Smith article appear 3 times.
The tap in stuff bothered me last summer but seeing him rattle all these middle aged journalists makes him more likeable, ngl@American_Gooner nah man look at this.. Fabrizio is massive lol
This is so incredible when you think of it.
First of all the formation choice playing SWP as a RWB in an era when this formation was nowhere near being as popular as it is now. Taylor and Anton Ferdinand chosen while Terry is on the bench. David Dunn being in there and Lampard wasn't even considered at all. I would say Carrick being on the bench is laughable but that ended up being reality. Combine this with the failure to qualify (I mean they should've but still) and it's quite incredible how so often football doesn't work out how you'd expect.
SWP ended up having a pretty mediocre career given all his hype, I know he won some medals and all but still. Ironically did end up starting for England in the 2010 world cup which I still find unbelievable, wasn't like he was in top form at the time. Taylor would end up having a fairly mediocre career staying at Newcastle and Anton Ferdinand's most notable moment was being racially abused by the England captain. Dunn was a mid-table player throughout his career and never got another England cap after his debut.
It is weird how Lampard was never considered at all here when he'd go on to be runner up Ballon d'Or to Ronaldinho not too long after.
Apparently you do this subconsciously when you're speaking to non-native English speakers. I remember seeing this clip then he was back with the England squad a few weeks later sounding normal.Anyone seen this? Probably old I’ve just come across it. Goes full full Joey Barton
Are you taking the piss? It's outrageous! Joey Barton got crucified for less The funny part is people are commenting that he does it so German people understand his English better. I mean, ok, they most probably wont understand road, but just talking his normal English accent couldn't possibly be harder to understand than fake german English!?Apparently you do this subconsciously when you're speaking to non-native English speakers.

I'm not taking the piss, accent mirroring is a real thing. I think he probably wanted to speak English slower so people could understand but it ended up coming out like that.Are you taking the piss?

Must come in handy with your Ukrainian gf.Quite normal, when I speak to Europeans I change my accent, I can sense it.
This would be so much fun if they could make it happen.
yeah it really is. my brother went to the usa for a year in highschool and had a thick accent for 3 month after he came back.I'm not taking the piss, accent mirroring is a real thing. I think he probably wanted to speak English slower so people could understand but it ended up coming out like that.
