Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread Summer 2014 - Mod Warning post #6893

Somebody at work was telling me earlier how he hasn't listened to anything Eamon Dunphy says anymore because of an incident a few years back when he was insinuating there was a split in the Spanish camp because Barcelona players weren't singing the national anthem... at a time when the Spanish national anthem didn't have any lyrics!

So anyway, went looking for Spanish national anthem now and found this:

"In January 2008, new lyrics to the Spanish national anthem, La Marcha Real, were revealed. The Spanish national anthem had been lyric-less since the death of dictator General Franco in the 1970s. But when the Spanish Olympic Committee heard fans of the English soccer team Liverpool FC sing the club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone', it was decided that Spain too should have lyrics to its national anthem."

Ok lads serious question...I am a language teacher and something came across my desk. I can't say much about it (i.e. names) but what would you teach a footballer language wise? My boss is saying living in Liverpool, finding a house, buying stuff etc, but I am thinking that he might like some tactics, training ground and coaching speech, history of our club etc. Would you look at articles from the newspaper or not? Replying to his Twitter account and replying to the press?

Any ideas?

Shaqiri?

I reckon Senderos and Djourou have made Villa the new Norwich.

Edit Djourou is not moving to Villa, dunno why i thought that.

I'm not sure I'd judge Shaqiri on this world cup - he is stuck out right at the start of each game and then moves inside. Should be in the AM position. He showed some quick feet and thinking.
