    Did anyone else notice at the recent Press Conference with MP (which you can watch on Saints Player), that the translator has been changed!?
    For some reason they've got someone with a really heavy northern access to translate him now and its bloody funny / borderline very silly. It kind of sucks all the smooth charm away from MP in quite a severe way! The powers that be must have thought it would be a good idea to get someone more local to translate but they couldlnt find anyone with a regional accent that could speak both languages!

    He is poor, because he stumbles over the English translation despite his Northern accent. MP even suggested English words to him. Someone said on another thread perhaps we are going to give him worse and worse interpreters until he speaks English. Did you see the bit where MP got confused, answered in English, and was then translated into Spanish?

    Maybe it's to make Pochettino's English look good!

    He is trying, bless him. He greets people in English and looks so proud...he is so cute.

    Think the translator was having a little joke with MP there. Good to see MP speaking English whether he was supposed to or not!

    Reminds me slightly of the comedy translations they used to do in Eurotrash on C4. Remember that?

    I think MP can speak english to a degree but not fluently and hes not confident enough too use itin press confs... a few players said the language barrier is not really there and they understand what he wants from them. Too me he looks annoyed he has a translator and times he answears in english. Its nothing too worry about.
