Was it a bald Mancunian by chance?

That was the point the teacher was trying to make, that he suppressed his natural accent for a personal intonation.

The NFL is an embarrassing organisation.

Interesting. I would have thought otherwise with the big strong voices of Wolfgang Puck and Arnie. But maybe I did know that as I know recall in history class the teacher showing us recording of Hitler and then stating that Hitler [would speak closer to a Bavarian (sic) accent as it was commmanding then his native Austrian accent]. I may have the particulars wrong but that is the general gist of it. Kind of amusing really, as if kids in rural Australia can pickup on the idiosyncrasies of the accents of the German language from 60+ years earlier.

@Tommy this is pretty much how we hear it, right or wrong. Werner to me, sounds like the first clip.

It sounds different to foreigners though mate. I don’t know the accents too well but some sound a lot more guttural than others, how Austrians (Puck, Scharzeneggar) talk for instance is a lot more macho sounding than say Timo Werner who has that accent is in the English world is the ‘effeminate sing songy sounding German Eurotrash’ accent, I don’t know really how else to describe it. Our perceptions of what German sounds like is completely different to you, and I assume @Beelzebub’s would be completely different to mine as his first language (which I’m not sure what it is, Punjabi? Pashto? Pakistan has a lot of languages, he probably speaks several) is even further removed from the Germanic language groups.

That was my reaction as well. First I thought he had hurt his hand in an odd way but then I realised he was quite literally having a seizure. I’m positive it didn’t just ‘look like’ but it was a seizure caused by concussive trauma.

What is more surprising is that she had the energy to drum at such a high level while battling with anorexia.

What makes you say that

Explain how? I really don't understand you sometimes.

That is really just Australian sports in a nutshell though. One game played at at 120,000 mega-stadium then the next at the local park. Leichardt Oval Telstra Stadium 4,032 × 3,024

His child died? Thats terrible.

He also said he’d fill in for Brian Johnson for ACDC but they went and got Axl Rose instead lol

Mate, don’t act all shocked and ‘I don’t know what you are talking about’. You know exactly what I meant using an example of someone failing at X and succeeding at Y, I just picked Ancellotti because it was relevant to your experiences as an Everton fan. If you think I was having a dig you need to ask yourself; why I would do that, and why I would I even have predisposition to wanting to have a dig at Everton. You’re being needlessly defensive.

Succeeded extremely well at Sevilla twice. But hey, Ancellotti failed at Everton and then won a CL with Real Madrid...

She probably just mixed up Rhodesia being renamed to Zimbabwe and attributed it to South Africa being renamed or alternatively named Zimbabwe. You’d know her better though I don’t think it is really a justification but more of a rationalisation of why it happened, conquest and violence was simply a valid form of diplomacy. Yeah it is shitty but that was the reality of the entirety of history up until about 40 years ago.

Also two red cards, but only one of red carded players would receive death threats till the next world cup

England would draw every game

Case in point, he dribbles like Messi for this goal.

This is the sort of post that needs to be reported to the proper authorities.

I’m starting to look like a sicknote at work and I don’t like it. I’ve fucked my back twice and now I’m sick as a dog with a a cold/flu

Calling Lewa a ‘proper number 9’ is like calling a McClaren a four door family car. The guy is an abnormality. What Bayern are missing is one the greatest players of all time, any sort of mediocrity following him leaving should be expected. Dozens of great centre-forwards wouldn’t do much to replace Lewa; Icardi for instance is a great scorer but isn’t 1/10 of Lewa. There really isn’t anything or anyone that can fix Bayern besides going through the growing pains of not having debatably (Gerd Muller) the greatest scorer in Bundesliga history. Just give it time, the team will adapt.

The dragon Sir Marcus must slay

They don’t even teach us that. They don’t even talk about the constitutional crisis or the Lang movement. People still think the Stolen Generation is nothing to be upset over
