You must go to NYC a lot don't you? "Ax" is common there.

All of this is silly. For all the hand-wringing about Americans butchering English, you lot neither speak nor write exactly the way your ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Neither is the English language 100% consistent in England. Unless cockney is considered a foreign language rather than a dialect?

(PS -my response isn't directed at you, nor should you interpret my tone as argumentative, or agitated. It's all quite amusing actually. But unfortunately my emojis aren't working.)

I'm tri-lingual, English, Cockney and bullshit.

Supposedly the 300k figure quoted by media is vastly overstated. Perez himself has said that Bale's wages are much lower. Also, the wage figure never made sense, why would they award him with a 600k /week contract after one of Real's worst seasons where he was very average?

He earns €17 million a year with bonuses, its been common knowledge since he signed the contract, that's €327,000 a week after tax.

Information an any given player's salary is much easier to find out here than in England, perhaps because the contracts are held by La Liga, not by the clubs concerned
 
I used to work for an American company and my director came to live in Wales for two years. Always remember him saying just before he went back that he'd learnt a new expression...."If it's nice"...
He said he'd ask an employee what they were doing for the weekend and they always started the reply with "If it's nice...."
British weather answer he wasn't used to where he lived...... :thumbup:
 
Don't want Ceballos if he's looking to go back to Madrid and was never interested in him anyways. He's looked bang average and underwhelming every time I've seen him. Where would he even start?

I've been to Wales once in my life and it was gorgeous bright hot summer sunshine the entire couple days we were there. The locals insisted we weren't getting the authentic experience.
