One of the puzzles of Wenger was the complete absence of any improvement in his english in 20 years. He would often say "it is as well because" when just "also" would have done - Cleuseo sounding w'nker
Yes, appointing a new manager isn't as easy as it looks, is it. We must be out of practise.Quote:

Yes. His goodbye speech was ample evidence of the limits of his fluency. He never really got idiomatic English at all.Quote:

"Helllllo Hhhhhhow hare you ? Hi ham Eeengllshhh "
He does speak English and you are sounding like Henry WinterQuote:

Of course, because Frenchmen tend not to speak English at all.Quote:

Does he really, though, la? Or does he just gabble on uselessly like a lost tourist trying to find Piccadilly Circus?Quote:

Yeah, but Australians do that, too. 'Awwww, look...'Quote:

Burney "Yeah, but Australians do that, too. 'Awwww, look...'"
Wenger didn't to that because the "AW" was too self-referential
No, He probably has papers, qualifications, saying He speaks English so as far as He is concerned, He does, whether He actually does or not. Which, of course, He does. At least well enough.Quote:

To be fair, they are supposed to learn arabic in order to read the Koran properly, but yes, they're unlikely to speak it in the dressing room.Quote:
