Anyone else heard his latest interview?! What a ****!

 

No, but then again, I didn't need to to agree with your statement.

 

Yup

 

Allo allo.

 

It`s the closest most scouse`s get to speaking french

 

Anybody playing today would eventually pick up a strange accent.

 

Anyone who's spent time in a foreign country will know how difficult it is to avoid sounding like the natives. Yes he might sound like a "****" but do you really think he intended to pretend he is French? No. It's something the brain just does. Travel a bit and find out for yourself.

 

I work with a guy that puts the accent on to whatever country he's calling, it is funny and we do rip him.

Joey's was way better than Steve MCclaren

 

He does have a point - would anyone in that room have understood a word he said if he spoke "normally" ?

 

Absolutely, and you don't need to travel abroad for it to happen.
Along similar lines; I speak Scouse when talking to my parents/ family or when visiting Liverpool, but the rest of the time I have a local-ish accent (Lincs). People are amazed if they haven't heard me in action before but it's totally not a conscious decision and I do it without thinking twice.
A Scottish friend of mine does it too, she sounds like something off Rab C Nesbitt if she's with her mum, the rest of the time it's more like Coronation Street.

Joey Barton is a complete **** in any language.

 

Id also like to add that I think Barton is a **** but I have a general feeling he did this on purpose. Just giving the media something to latch on to, kind on hinted at it in the interview too. The guy does have a point and is probably laughing at us lot for talking about it.

 

Heard it on the radio earlier.

 

If you watch it without any sound he looks like he is actually talking french - lots of shrugs and nods.

 

So his Tweet apologising for making himself look a tool was also part of the elaborate sting?

 

How far back in time was he referring too with that apology for being a "tool"

 

too?

 

I follow Barton and Ive not seen that, in fact Ive just looked at his previous tweets from the last few days and he hasnt apologised for looking like a tool. Just one that says its difficult to do a press conference in scouse to a room full of French Journalists, the alternative is to speak like an Allo Allo character. He has actually been very quiet on twitter these last 2 days.

 

Strange, and there's me thinking he actually posted "sorry for making myself look like a tool"


Dave, Google "paraphrasing", new word for you perhaps

 

Haha, I don't think that's a direct translation of words now is it for paraphrasing. Thats you paraphrasing what hes said and adding in that hes a tool

 

Bollox

No one likes to be caught by TB, gutted

 

****.

 

Ok tw@t
