The 1994 constitution of the Republic of Moldova asserts that the country's official language is 'Moldovan'. There is some promotion of this language label amongst Moldovan nationalists, though in linguistic reality the language is the same as Romanian.

There are huge similarities, but still a few differences; when Moldovans and Romanians are speaking to each other.

A bit like Greek & Cypriot conversations - there are differences but Cypriot Greek while different from Greek is not classed as a Cypriot language.



Fair play, so.

I stand erected.

From Ashley Preece

Asked Unai Emery if he'll kick back and celebrate tonight, perhaps with a well-earned glass of red. His response: "Maybe my family and friends can celebrate but we need to prepare for the next match against Crystal Palace. We aren't playing in the same competitive way at home..."

I wish he’d stop scratching his cheeks in interviews though.

It's probably a nervous thing whilst communicating on television in a foreign language which he obviously struggles with (and has been ridiculed for in the past). I'd forgive him that.

Has he ever had a goatee? It looks like he's searching for it.

Yes it's obviusly that. I can't find it in my heart to forgive him though, it's just too annoying! :)

Yeah, it's getting on me 'ackney wick a bit too but as long as we win every game we ever play under him, I could start to accept it.

I just won a silent race with a 4ft10" pensioner to cross the road. She didn't know she was in a race, but she got battered. My interview afterwards with Mexican TV was conducted in impeccable Spanish, and I wasn't even embarrassed about being naked, but she was, and her wheelchair was a right state.

Are we sure it’s actually his hand stroking his chin and neck? And not a member of his staff hired just for that purpose.

Mexican drugs must be a lot stronger than the stuff we get here.

I think it would be foolish of players not to make small efforts to know some Spanish phrases.  Its decent nod to Emery and the coaching staff.
No not really. I’d rather they listened and learnt what Enery and coaching staff are telling them. Learning “some Spanish phrases” is neither here nor there.
