    Does he speak much English? A south American who's plied his trade in Italy & Spain would be forgiven for not mastering it, but do we know if he has much of a head start?

    All he needs to know is "fookin' avvit!!" for every time he launches the ball 80 yards away from our box. That'll do for me.

    More like 'Better time next Fras' as he picks the ball out the net after a perfectly weighted back pass isn't dealt with.

    Should this be blue? <laugh>

    I think "AWAY!!" is universal in footballing language so he should be ok when he's defending in our box.

    He also needs to know 'get ridoit'.....usually screamed by unreconstructed Southampton fans.

    Or me on my sofa. :oops:

    I presume a X followed by IMG is telling you to use your imagination.


    Is it Conner in his shower?

    I've always wondered about that. If the keeper doesn't shout it do they all forget why they are there and stop for a *** break?

    In my experience screaming away at someone who is on the ball in your own box is similar to that of the "MAN ON" shriek which puts more stress on the player than if nothing is said!

    Another cliche is someone shouting away as soon as a corner is kicked whilst you are defending, and the ball is in mid-flight, like ok will do mate.

    Similarly, screaming "Catch it!" at the hapless fielder in the path of a speeding cricket ball is not the best support for your team mate, but everybody seems to do it.

    I can't remember who it was (maybe Ivan Golac, when he played for us), but I recall a foreign player who, during an interview revealed that he had been puzzled by the shout of "Welly it", when being told to clear the ball.
    Perhaps they should sit Caceres down with a variety of cue cards, to include the most used idioms, to eliminate confusion.

    See a lot of people saying he is Injury prone. While coming off a bad injury isn't great, he didn't get much playing time at Juventus due to Barzaghli, Bonnuci and Chiellini all ahead of him. I'm looking forward to this signing.

    You were lucky. I used to earn £1 18/- 6d per week when I first started work. 1/-3d an hour. That is 5/- for four hours work which in your money is 25 pence. You lads today don't know you are born. You have all been spoiled something rotten.

    Quick someone post the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch before another thread descends into old buggers moaning about how tough their life was.

    This is sexist. Some of us men may find you attractive too.
