High Five o

Howay!!! Hope the youngsters show they are ready!

He's African, man. We probably have to bribe the local witch doctor to get his passport and driving licence. Ah, thats right, hope we use the same as Martins, we might get a new 18 year old wonderkid in our squad

How is this possible? Does he not have all the requirements for a work permit? Im unsure what a player need to have to be approved, anyone know?

Agree

Do you mean we have to call Japan Nippon, or the real shit 日本国? Or Saudi Arabia? Al Mamlakah al Arabiyah as Suudiyah, ¨المملكة العربيّة السّعوديّة If you mean the last one i can no longer go outside Europe, as i don`t know where the fuck i am going You'd call it Nippon as that would be how its pronounced. Countries would offer their name of country as they want it in all alphabets so it would be pronounced the same way no matter which alphabet it was in. As Al Mamlakah al Arabiyah as Suudiyah then? Or call China Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó? Lets go to Dawlat al-Imārāt al-‘Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah, its United arab Emirated. Pretty stupid tbf. They call themselves a short version as well, Al Emarat, which isn't that hard for anyone to say. Do you call China "The People's Republic of China" or Saudi Arabia "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" as well? No? Most nations have shortened names as well as the long official one, I for one don't call Norway "The Kingdom of Norway", but that's our official name. Still, most Norwegians call our country "Norge", no? Not "Kongeriket Norge"? Now, it's not something that could be enforced given just how nudged into our minds the country names are in the languages we know. But not knowing we called China for China, I'd be more than happy to have called them Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó if that's what they were known as. Also, I'd imagine that if any such thing were actually enforced, which sadly it won't be, most nations would have a short version of whatever long name they might have that they would be happy with foreigners calling their nation. All that said, I never said it should be enforced, because that would be impossible and obviously stupid. I'm just saying I'd prefer it if that were the way things had been done rather than "translating" names in the first place. Most of this is not relevant. What we discussed was if we should call it the original name or the international name. Ok, Dawlat al-Imārāt al-‘Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah call themselfs Al Emarat, but the rest of us call them United Arab Emirates,or more spesificly Dubay, Abu Dhabi etc. When UAE people are doing business they call it United Arab Emirates. Its the common name for it. My point is that these names are well reknown in the english speaking world. No one call it The People's Republic of China, where do you get the idea i do that? I dont know what the fuck Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó mean, if its their name for The People's Republic of China, how should i know? Whats the short name for that ? Everyone calls it China, everyone know where it is. Are you annoyed that people here say Norway instead of Norge? I dont give a shit, its the same country, it changes nothing. Im not sure, but this seems like a waste of time, why change something that work, and have done for centuries. Mods, please move this where ever you want, its nothing to do with our new best friend Cheick Tioté =)

Great news! I hope he learn a lot from he`s time there.

Very

Not so easy for people in Saudi Arabia to learn the Korean word for South Korea and stuff like that though. Corea is how they prefer to spell it and then it's dae han min some shit is how they pronounce it in South Korea. But Corea/Korea is the international name of it, Daehan-minguk is the local original name, who some people here wants us to use. Cheick Tioté going to be goood

Vålerenga have 7-2-0 on the last home games, pretty strong. But they lost Moa last week. Sandefjord is placed last in the Tippeliga. But i think its a pretty safe bet, its Norwegian fotball, hard to predict

Like...... Tiote, ooooooh ooooh, Tiote, ooooooooh ooooooooooh. He comes from Cote d'Ivore, He's better than Stevie G Tiote, ooooooh ooooh, Tiote, ooooooooh ooooooooooh. Couldn't be arse rhyming them? Sorry, is it not pronounced Ivory? Nay, Ivoire = Iv-wah, French ain't it. Do English people really say "Côte d'Ivoire" instead of just "Ivory Coast"? Read somewhere during the WC that Côte d'Ivoire was angry on the world ( ) for calling them Ivory Coast. They wanted to be know as Côte d'Ivoire. But its impossible to say with a rhythm, so fuck it Comes from cote d'ivoire, better than cantona No shit

Sounds like Fer plays everything tbf. Played Right back, DM, AM and striker. But have had he`s breakthrough as a DM by the sounds of it. Sounds like a good allround player, but is he our main priority? Surely a striker or a good AM/playmaker with good pace is more important?

This tread is so much better then the Ben Arfa one tbh

Fucking brilliant People at work looked at me when i burst out in laughter

;D Best paint job ever

Hahaha, fat mike! You are a genius Kasper!

Am not sure but it shouldn't take long. Cheers! Hope he might be on the bench against Accrington then or is that to much to ask

Top 4.

I know it's wrong, but I laughed at that. Very wrong, but very right

Its mental that Enrique played a season in championship. Strange that a big club did not attemt to get him. He would have turned them down anyway , but still... He is just fantastic!

Sorry if its allready mentioned in the tread. But how long does it usually take to get a answer on the work permit application?
