Having to speak it every day helps of course but I’m sure it will be beneficial all round to him, his staff and the players. I thought the plan was that everyone at the club will be speaking Spanish?!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. I am incapable of learning a foreign language, don't know why but nothing works.Sailed with predominantly Spanish speaking seafarers for 17 years - I know a few words in Spanish.Lived in the middle East for 10 years - I know a few words in Arabic.Worked in Nigeria for 4 years - I know a few words in Nigerian.Lived in Cyprus for over 14 years - I know a few words in Greek.Lived with my partner now for over 10 years - Moldovan, speaks 10 languages - I know a few words in Moldovan.I have never been able to string a sentence together in a foreign language and thank my lucky stars I have been able to get by in English (with an Irish accent), for over 42 years while dealing with multiple Nationalities (working in shipping).It's an art I admire in others.Oh the joy of being harangued by the wife in another language and not knowing barely a word of what she's saying.

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

W7 D1 L4 under Emery. Over a season I reckon that's 69/70 points.W2 D3 L7 Last 12 under Gerrard.
When we find ourselves in times of troubleWhen we need to take the leadLeave it down to UnaiEmeryAnd in our hour of darknessWho can turn a point from one to threeTake us into EuropeEmeryEmery, EmeryEmery, EmeryTake us into EuropeEmery
During the first half against Palace, Emery or one of the coaches was clearly shouting guarda to Moreno and Buendía when in possession of the ball. That is Spanish.I rest my case.
