Who’s this donkey the Dutch have up front, big drop off from the Kluiverts and Bergkamps of the past
 
Gini having another good game for the Dutch.
Just shows how poor international football is that it can make him look so good.
 
Close. It was actually just down the road from Cologne in Bonn which, in those days, was still (and amazingly) the capital of what was West Germany, I imagine because of Herr Adenauer. I spent a year working in a bookshop there before going to university to study Modern and Medieval German and French. When my new Director of Studies heard where I'd spent the previous year, that quote was more or less the first thing he said. I never knew its origin until now, so thanks for that info. 😎

Makes sense. Never visited Bonn till now (shame on me). Yeah, I think it was not just because of him but it was really the middle of West-Germany back then.

Interesting study subjects but I really like it if people do what they want to do. And it makes also sense that you get that quote from some one with such a profession. So you are fluent in German?
You are welcome but to be honest I also had to look it up. 😉
 
What did he do - Tweet unavailable.

Stirred some shit on Twitter. In a discussion with some Irish accounts and Irish tayto. Lineker made some reference about them being past fighting over about potatoes or something. Got a lot of shit for it.
 
Which one?
The real one.

There wasn't much Medieval stuff involved TBH - 1 term's worth of Medieval German in my case. I could have chosen more but didn't find it interesting enough.

My German's OK (the first letter I wrote in 2021 was in German to an old college friend from Bavaria) but not what it was in those days. During my year in Germany LFC beat Moenchengladbach in the two-legged final of what's now the Europa League to win our first European trophy (I wasn't able to get to the game in Germany much to my frustration) and before the first leg I was on a train between Offenbach and Frankfurt when this friendly German guy asked me who I thought would win the game. "Well, I'm a Liverpool fan so I've got to say Liverpool." "How come you chose Liverpool?" "I was born there." "Yeah, but you've got to support a German team." "Actually no, I'm English." "Whaaaaat?" 😀

One day the sarky smart@rse bluenose pr!ck is going to get himself into some serious trouble, and he'll richly deserve it.
 
I want us to crush those haters. 5-0 England would be perfect. And those supporting Scotland ? You are on their hate list too !
 
Yeah, I'm starting to change my mind about the kid. He might just make it in the Prem.
