From his book, made me laugh. There are some things that even my compatriots could not help with though and the English language, or rather the Scouse accent, did take some getting used to at first. I was looking around the city one time, seeing a few sights, and I thought I would go to see the cathedrals. I didn't know exactly where they were so I stopped someone in the street to ask for directions. "Excuse me, can you tell me where the church is?" I asked in my very best English accent. "The wha'?" came the reply. "The church," I repeated, making a cross with my fingers to illustrate what I meant. Still all I got were more blank looks as if I was crazy. "The church. You know, Jesus Christ and all that." "If yer wanted to know where the cheerch was why didn't yer say?" I'd stood there for five minutes repeating myself over and over again, doing hand signals and all kinds, but I still couldn't get across where I wanted to go because I couldn't say church like a Scouser says it. Most of the staff at Melwood didn't speak English, they spoke Scouse. It was very difficult to understand because it is so fast and there is so much slang. Now, when I speak with English people when I am abroad, they ask me if I am a Scouser. It is one of the best compliments I can have because it means I am a part of Liverpool and one of the people. I wouldn't have it any other way. Now even my daughters sound Scouse when they talk. Not Scouse like Stevie or Carra, but you can definitely tell that they come from Liverpool and that makes me proud. But it was hard to get used to at first.
nice and all that but you know..... others have said it then chuffed off with themselves to the highest bidder. for me pepe is just another player and the club is the important thing from now on in.
It is funny. Did you know its because of Liverpool fans that Rafa Benitez' daughter Claudia learnt to say his name. Rafa said ''My daughter Claudia cannot say my name in Spanish but when I ask her what my name is she says ''Rafa Rafael''.
