Elbel1 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Mr McClaren, are you looking forward to the new season as manager of Taliban FC? How dare ask me a question like that? I spit on you and your ancestors. May your cast your seed on barren crops for all eternity. I declare a Jihad on you and all western sports writers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Is he some kind of alien that just adopts the accent of wherever he lives? Or just like normal people who adapt to their habitats Normal? Normal is a Geordie living in London for 3 years coming back with his accent diluted, not fully blown cockney. Certainly not an Englishman living in Holland for 3 weeks and speaking broken English, then changing to a German accent a few months in to a stay in Germany. It's just not normal, and if it was no one would be batting an eyelid, as it stands people are taking the piss out of him, fans and media alike. I've been in Spain for 20 days before, I didn't come back talking like Rafa Benitez even though I was young and trying to interact with the Spanish in their language, why? Because I'm not a mentalist like McClaren. I just hope his next job is in Asia. Asda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbel1 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 f*** sake man Still can't believe he was England Manager. Not that hard to believe. The mongs demanded an English manager and he was the best option. The other option was Sam Allardyce (Assuming that Brazil, Spain, Real Madrid, Barca, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Bayern didn't ask him first) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 To be honest, I spent a few months in Germany, and after talking to the locals in English (my german is very very basic), the "ve" think got stuck quite quickly. Of course, I'm not a native English speaker so my accent is bound to be more malleable I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I can tell you from experience that it is difficult not to pick up small things when you spend a bit of time in a place, but I've spent a lot more time in Yankee than McClaren has in Germany without completely changing the way I talk. The only way this happens, is if you desire the change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm sure plenty of foreign posters on here can attest to how easy it is to pick up English/Geordie vocabulary just by posting on the same goddamn Internet message board as you lot.

Andy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It's not so much the fact that he's pronouncing words like "ve", it's the fact that he doesn't seem to be able to speak English fluently anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 McClaren could make himself into the new Roy Hodgson in a few years, fair play to him for carving out a career abroad - not many English managers or players have the balls to try. But it took Hodgson decades to achieve any kind of domestic recognition, and he'd still never be considered by one of the "big" clubs. English clubs' directors are mostly incredibly narrow-minded. You can be sure as shit that Ferguson would never have been offered the Man Utd job today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Tbf, first game they were very close to a point in their first game away to Bayern.. and in the next league game they threw aweay a 3 goal lead to lose 3-4.
