Rio Ferdinand

Don't tell me...you'd like to be club Treasurer so you can get your hands on their assets.

yep, you know me so well.

I am and it is actually the third. I learned Slovakian in elementary school for 8 years but I never used it after so I forgot almost all of it. We started English in the fourth grade, we were the first who could choose between Russian and English (that was in 1990).

I have to say though, reaching an acceptable level in English is not hard at all (as opposed to say, German or Slavic languages where you really have to grapple with the grammar rules before you can use the language). Mastering English is bloody tough however, supposing that one would like to improve. But if you care then there are countless possibilities to do so, I learned a lot on the Shed End too :) Moi sometimes makes me reach for the dictionary, for example, and that's great. When that happens you can bet your house that I use that word in a couple of emails in the following weeks during my work :D

 

 

See, that's a sign of intelligence - going out of your way to use an expression in order to incorporate it into your working vocabulary.  You are a scholar and a gentleman, Undertow!  (which is a lot more than Rio Ferdinand is!)

Thanks but to be honest it's partly to drive my German colleagues crazy ;-)

My biggest struggle is to keep using proper British English as my first teacher drilled us to because most of the time I hear and read American English (those damn movies and tv series). Sadly my pronunciation has already deteriorated quite a lot.

134 here, which makes me considerably more f**kwitted (or lazy brained) than the last one I took, which was a couple of decades ago.

 

140.. that would be equal to what? Five Rio Ferdinands. Or am I beng a little over generous, perhaps?

your generosity knows no bounds, my friend 

He truly is a cretin 

 

Does he have a book he's trying to promote also?  Think the timing is very fortuitous...or maybe, it's just because he's been exposed at QPHa and he's retiring rather than be seen as less of a player.  Didn't he do that with the England squad also?

Just seen on twitter that he is retiring at the end of the season?

 

Took him about 3-4 years to realize he has been absolutely sh*te.

Even someone as dull as Rio must have realised that being benched for QPR's last game was a clear sign that he'd come to the end.

Sad news in a way as he'll now be on our bloody TV more as an 'expert' :-(

I doubt it sadly, I'm sure the BBC will come for him soon.  MOTD will be unwatchable.

Yes. Even more of a reason to record the programme and skip through his comments.

It's long overdue that he plans to retire. He was finished years ago!

 

One of the most overrated players I've ever seen. 

It's great that in the week jt plays his 500th game as captain, scores a goal in the cl running the length of the pitch, and is talked about hodgson should be begging him to return to the England team, this cretin announces his retirement after being dropped for dickie dunne :)

The lineup tonight couldn't possibly be any worse. Lindsay Lohan, Daniel Wadcliffe, Wio Ferdinand, Wussel Bwand and the sh*ttest band of all time, The Scwipt.

 

Nice one, Wossy.

Hahahaha brilliant. If you look at QPR's Twitter account where they announce the ban and say it's "subject to an appeal", almost all the replies are either "Yes!" or "Don't appeal please!" etc etc.

 

He could have retired after 12/13 in glory, instead he had a season which couldn't have gone much worse with Moyes, went to QPR and got dropped and lost any respectability he had left with this ban and his awful autobiography.

 

I just pray MOTD or Sky don't hire old Camel face.

Does anyone else remember his bloody awful 'prank' show where he pranked team-mates with 'hilarious' consequences. It must one of the worst programmes ever made.

So you mean Rio's World Cup Finals with the horrible catchphrase "you just got merked!"

So you mean Rio's World Cup Finals with the horrible catchphrase "you just got merked!"

Yep. It was sh*te (apart from a set-up involving two fit lingerie models that was watchable). I can't even bring myself to find it on Youtube. It would be too f**king painful to see again.

Edit: I clearly have no idea what 'cribs' means :-)
