But the funny thing is, most English people/kids DON'T pronounce the final consonant when they should - don't you remember as a kid being constantly told to sound your T's, etc?I remember when I did my GSCE in French at school, my teacher told us all that we were going to have a hard time understanding French grammar, because we didn’t get taught grammar in English. He wasn’t wrong!
On elision, we (English) have a tendency to pronounce words as we see them, which isn’t how a lot of languages work.

Joke of a site, this is the best forum on the internet, though I do miss the old cunt offs with gibbsy & all the tiny dancers
What happened to Arc?
bentancur is even worse than Winks going forward. People on here who slate Hojbjerg will lose their shit over him.
I'm happy that Kulusevski is an option to buy and not obligation.
Thinking Kulusevski is being brought in to form the number 8 of a midfield 3 with Son and Kane playing up top.
Panic purchase from Paradodgy whilst doing his mates a favour. Kulusevski does not suit the Conte set up whatsoever with the small amount of hope being that he can adopt as the more advanced of a midfield 3.
If the plan was to play him in an advanced attacking position in a 3 we are in big trouble.
Unsurprised he doesn't rate Lenglet either as he doesn't have a fucking clue about football whatsoever.
Waiting to find out he's actually American as he's so clueless.
Only you, sorryOnly me who thinks it’s odd we didn’t go for Martinez instead ? Especially as Ajax want Stevie so desperately
YepSo the patch of earth on which you are born determines what you know about football?
Obviously not, but counties where people actually love football and it's the main sport tend to have a lot more experience and knowledge about the game and likely more than armchair 'soccer' fans who have almost certainly barely kicked a ball in their lives IMO.So the patch of earth on which you are born determines what you know about football?
Probably from Northern Ireland.Unsurprised he doesn't rate Lenglet either as he doesn't have a fucking clue about football whatsoever.

Where it's the most played sport, that I've actually been actively involved in for the majority of my life? Yes.Probably from Northern Ireland.
330M people live in America and a lot of them have played and followed the sport just as long as you. Particularly the ones that happened to have signed up for a small forum dedicated to one team.Where it's the most played sport, that I've actually been actively involved in for the majority of my life?

I got those 2 absolutely wrong and I held my hand up numerous times.Unsurprised he doesn't rate Lenglet either as he doesn't have a fucking clue about football whatsoever.

he's a moron.So the patch of earth on which you are born determines what you know about football?
A lot of them? Lol. I'll not be carrying this on now you've pulled the big population numbers out. You must have actually kicked a ball before to be so triggered.330M people live in America and a lot of them have played and followed the sport just as long as you.

I really like him and think he'd be great, but I figure height and possibly Erdevisie will have been a big mark against him.. and I wouldn't argue too strongly against that. Makes sense that defensive signings we make should be 6'2 or so given that Romero and Davies aren't the tallest.Only me who thinks it’s odd we didn’t go for Martinez instead ?
