Why don't we celebrate HAGACHD, once a month, it seems the norm these days.
Usually pick on one of the players, so why not escalate to manager then senior club officials
We are PL after all

I think people underestimate how difficult it is to learn a foreign language. Especially to a level where you can confidently speak in public knowing full well that whatever you say will be reported around the world.

Footballers only say the same things anyway. If he took the Hughton course, he'd only need to learn about 6 sentences.

English is piss easy, I learnt it by the time I was 4 years old. Shirley anyone could learn it if they give it a go. Hill loose respect from his team if he don't learn it soon.
That's total bollocks. Last week, I watched a video of a 15-year Swedish schoolgirl address a UN conference on climate change, speaking in absolutely fluent English on a heavy scientific subject. She's also given a TED talk on the subject.
Given that, are you seriously suggesting that someone, in five years, can't learn enough English to give a 30-second interview?

Ditto Gareth Bale. Speaking in gestures after being Madrid for such a long time thanks to learning so few words. I just find that to be bleeding rude.

Similar, I watched a swedish school pupil of about 20 years old, in detention, undress a male school teacher on the subject of how boring maths is.
Her English was astonishing.

And yet, Paul Merson still hasn’t mastered it.
Seriously? Surely you can see the difference between the Swedish school girl and a Chilean footballer who moved to England when he was about 26.
How many languages have you learnt in your adult life?
You beat me to it. There are so many managers say we was good , not were good. It seems to be a London thing with Hoddle ,Pardew , Hughton etc being the main culprits.

Swedes and Swiss kids start learning English at around 3 in school, so not really a fair comparison. Plus all footballers are thick... [emoji23]
With Hughton, he even said Derby are a good team, they were dog shit for 80 minutes.

We haven't had a single match whilst he been here where it's been anything other than 'these are a good team'

Has Chris been hanging out in Ipswich lately ?
Er... I've lived in England all my adult life so I haven't had to learn another language. But if I did move somewhere, I'd hope to be pretty fluent within a year.
As it happens, I've learned German well enough to go to the cinema or theatre in Germany and understand what I'm watching or to go to a social gathering and hold conversations. I've also learned enough Welsh and Italian to know the basics,hold rudimentary conversations and follow about 50% of TV or films. All of these were as an adult.
Swedish kids don't start school until they're 6 and don't start learning English until they're 8 or 9.
And she didn't just answer a few rudimentary phrases, she spoke fluently for 15 minutes during the TED talk.
