I don't know actually, he might be. As a people we do cuss a lot maybe. We also have the awfull tendency to use deseases as cuss words. Especially in The Hague :nervous:

Oh no...
Anyway I like myself a foul mouthed manager, Fergie did it quite well(though most of the time no understood what he was saying Anyway :lol:)
 
These pesky unschooled foreigners coming to the Great land of Britain and making a mockery of the historical language and traditions :mad:


 
I just clicked on this thread because I thought "WTF is the matter?!"

It's fascinating to see how only Brits can give a sh*t about this f***ing boring incident :lol:

Edit: The Haaland one as well... what's the matter with you guys? He gave similar statements in Germany all the time and no one cared about it

To use the f-word on tv? Yes it is. Nobody will even notice. Is it such a bad thing in England? Do English people write letters to Sky and complain? :lol:

Sadly, yes, this is exactly why people don't say it. It's past the watershed so not sure why it's an issue though, if you listen during games you hear it all the time anyway.

He does have that Guardiola like unhinged vibe. You have the controlled psychos like Conte or Simeone and then you have the unsettling type.

He's even worse than pep, pep looks like a confused puppy most if the time while with ten hag you genuinely feel he might shank you at any moment .

Definitely unsettling but at least he's ours :lol:

While stirring the sugar into their tea excessively and tutting.
 
Do we have our new Caf catchphrase for this season boys, I believe we have.

No, we don't say fecking here at all. Nor swear on live TV (though if it happens no one will apologise to the viewers either). I think it's mostly Ten Hag having a very limited vocabulary. He weirdly comes across better in English than he does in Dutch though. He has less time to be awkward, because his mind is busy searching for the correct words.

How long is it since you watched Dutch for the last time? Somewhere in the 90s? :lol:
Using English swearwords is pretty common nowadays:lol:

My manager :devil:

But he genuinely looks psychotic , players might be terrified of him , looks the kind of guy who could knife you at any moment :lol:

He has that 'living on the edge' quality about him doesn't he? Agent 48. Feckin well play football or I'll take you all out. You'll never know when or where. Just know, your all on borrowed time. (Walks backwards into a shadow)

But we can’t actually say it on here because of the fecking autocorrect. Surely now it is time to change it, so we can quote our manager properly?

Well it's the sentiment behind if we can't fecking say the fecking word for some strange fecking reason to properly fecking quote the fecking manager.

Fecking Google.
 
He's a Dutch Pep to me. Same lack of hair, same build, same awkwardness and mad professor vibes. A bit of an oddball, but I think every top manager has some outlying characteristics.
 
Scousers compiling complaints to OFCOM as we sleep.
50,000 complaints from Merseyside and only a couple of hundred telly licenses accounted for.
 
I love how the fluency of his English was so much better than last week when we lost. I remember a certain Louis can Gaal also suffering with English language fluency issues following a loss!

:lol: Is this normal in Holland ?

Not really. The thing is mostly that those English curses meaning relatively little in Dutch (even though 'feck' and 'shit' are fairly commonly used - but only as exclamations, not adjectives or nouns), and are used a lot in culture (films, music). So as a Dutch person getting a lot of your English from TV and music, it's easy to adopt a style that uses 'fecking' quite a lot as just a kind of strong adjective. ('That's fecking cool!'). I did that myself as well when I first started speaking English regularly - until I realized that the native English speakers I was working with actually never use it. :D

But in Dutch, even though cursing isn't frowned upon quite as much in the anglophone world, Ten Hag definitely would not have said it like this. No way you would hear him say 'we spelen kankergoed voetbal' (or even 'teringgoed', if that's a thing). So as @KirkDuyt was saying, this is really just his limited English showing up.

Despite all that though - it will never stop being hilarious to me how much consternation this word causes among anglos. Just the expression 'f bomb' already cracks me up. I can just picture people covering up their kids' ears! :lol:

This no-swearing thing is bizarre to a non-Brit.

Good to see his passion though.

Not just Brits; it's the same in the US and English Canada. French Canadians aren't bothered by cursing though (in French or English), so I guess it's really an anglophone thing.
 
If you can fit Erik Ten Hag in place of America, there’s a new ready-made chant for him.

 
put a bit of a dampener on the evening. there could have been kids watching, or worse, an adult with nothing better to do than feel outraged and forced to complain about stuff. arnold will have a tricky decision to make today on whether or not we let him go. i can see sponsors pulling out. especially the whiter than white ones, like child labour abusing kit manufacturers and noble, not exploitative at all, betting companies.
