    OGS has had a good start but I'm just waiting to see what happens after their first defeat, things will change.

    In the short term I hope he keeps winning, PSG tonight i really care not one jot, but to knock Chelsea out of the cup and then beat Liverpool will be excellent as far as I am concerned. If he wins the cup and gets them 4th he will be appointed in the summer and can go all Di Matteo on them next season.

    Ah, the joys of the EL.

    Chelsky and the Goons will potentially have an extra 2 games
    to add to their fixtures in between Spurs CL foray, with the Goons
    in particular having one a few days after the NLD.

    Poor Sarri. If only he had a few more players to choose from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_F.C.#Out_on_loan

    Maurizio Sarri has been at Chelsea for about seven months and he conducts his interviews in English.
    Sergio Aguerro has been at City for more than seven years and he does his in Spanish.
    Is it just me or is that a bit ignorant?

    Bale is the same...doesn't speak Spanish. Apparently it's costing him as its alienated him from team bantz and therefore the team in general. Marcelo was saying he only communicates with a few basic hand gestures with Bale to say things like hello and goodbye

    I could be wrong on this, but Italians, along with Germans, seem to put more emphasis on learning a second language than South Americans do. Which is somewhat understandable considering most people in that region speak Spanish.

    Sarri was a banker and spent quite a bit of time in London for work purposes, so I guess there was more of an incentive for him to speak the language.

    Aguero's English has never been great, but I suppose it depends on his willingness to try and adapt to it in the time he's been here. It doesn't seem like he cares too much though, and is more focused on his football and family.

    It'd be nice if he could speak it a bit better than he's shown, but City fans won't really care so long as he keeps doing what he's doing on the pitch.

    You might be right, but this is from the start of the season:


    Ignore the ****ty advert part of it. That's two South American players speaking respectable English a year after signing.
    Sanchez probably learned it at Ajax, but Foyth came straight from Argentina

    Depends if you want to chat up the local pussy or not, perhaps Aguerro has a really nice wife.

    I know that this sounds pretty basic, but in all of my travels, the guys who go with the local pussy learn the lingo much quicker.
