In case anyone in London isn't a Man U fan yet, here's what happens when your teams come north (in Dutch? Danish? Accented German?). Winning pretty, as Robbo knows, is an expensive luxury.
It sounds very much like Danish spoken by someone who has spent time in England. Jan Molby and Peter Schmichael both used to say 'F A CUUP' like they were natives. I suppose giving rise to that character Paul Whitehouse used to do (Julio?), speaking spanish and throwing in the occasional 'going doon the toon'. Scandanavians tend to have an uncanny ability to master foreign languages don't they?
Yes, I thought Danish - linguistically quite close to German but different pronunciation. I love it when overseas players pick up Scouse, Mancunian or other accents, especially when they learn phrases like 'the lads' and 'the gaffer'. Stoke's Icelandic contingent didn't last long enough to learn more than 'I'm phoning my agent', but Sorenson's pretty good, though he doesn't call anyone 'duck' or 'mar mayte' yet.
I forgot the best bit. Johan Boskamp's first radio interview triumph was about a player who hadn't returned from an international. Asked about the affair, he replied 'He is a shit guy. I will kick him in the balls'.
