Just watching MOTD earlier, aint it 'bout time Bielsa learnt to speak English ffs, I mean this is his 3rd season in English football and he still dont speak a lick of English.
I mean, he seems to be doing a good job as manager but ffs mate, at least put some effort in to learn
 
Chesney to Everton ? @Tobes

Everton could sign Poland and former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus this summer but Paris St-Germain are also interested in the 31-year-old.

He doesn’t know how to sit on a chair...I doubt he’s got what it takes to learn a language

He does speak English apparently, he just chooses not to in interview.

We’re being linked with everyone mate, so I’ve no idea.

Thats one of the most childish things I have ever heard.
"You can't speak English!"
"Yeah I can"
"Go on then"
"No, dont want to..."

Fair enough if this was his first season, but after 3 years in a country I would make the effort to speak it as much as possible

I actually enjoy the post match interviews with the cockney translator. When he gets it wrong and Bielsa tells him off, like he's his dad <laugh> I didn't watch it yesterday but it happens so often I look forward to those interviews more than the dull, predictable shpeel of the English speaking managers.

Said it prevents him making mistakes, being misquoted.

Fair enough, I just find it strange that no other foreign manager seems to do this.
At most it will just be a laugh for the cameras.
After 3 years he should have most of the cliche manager jargon down.
"We were unlucky" "We controlled the game" "Now we focus on the next game" etc
 
Arsenal v West Brom this evening.

Arsenal in 10th looking to leapfrog Leeds for no incentive other than not to be in the bottom half of the table.

Zero enthusiasm for this game ... this is what you've done to me Arsenal :(
