Mick Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thinks hes christopher lambert. He's speaking English with a French accent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I guarantee you if he comes back to England he'll keep talking like that. Probably thinks it makes him sound more sophisticated or something. Joey Barton man ... clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It's weird like, but it does happen. It only takes me a couple of days in France to start talking differently, same in America. Not to this extent mind, but I can see why he's doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hilarious Part of me thinks he is taking the piss though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hilarious Part of me thinks he is taking the p*ss though. This. His expression about halfway through. He says something totally normal that doesn't require a reaction and looks like he's about to burst out laughing! It does happen sub-conciously (sp) for sure. Not to that extent, where you're disguising a very strong, scouse accent, with a French one but I think my accent changes without realising. I'm from Newmarket, so don't really have an accent, it's bland and boring as fuck. I get told I sound Brummie after I've been to see my cousin in Birmingham and I end up using hard A's instead of soft A's after I have been up to the match. I even become more cockney sounding if I go to an away game in London. I notice my mates doing it to a point as well. Not as bad as me mind and certainly not as bad as Barton and McLaren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It happens to me, too tbf. After returning from a Newcastle trip where I spoke English and only English for 4 or 5 days, I really have to think again about some vocabulary in German.

Superior Acuña Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 How on Earth does that happen easily? Nah, that's ridiculous :lol: Maybe not quite as exteme, but I definitely started talking a kind of disjoined english when I was living in Chile, due to a mixture of trying to be understood and picking it up from all the disjointed english around you. It's fucking hilarious though, especially from him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I go to Barcelona a fair bit and unfortunately do something similar when speaking to my mate from there. Actually thinking about it I do re-arrange the words but don't put on an accent like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Barton being your manager...... Would probably do better than what Pardew is currently though....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 it would be super cool if he was actually taking the piss but unfortunately I think it's for real. What a tool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
