Louis Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 "Knock on wood" is used in England too, you simply knock on wood for luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Its user in Sweden too. We say "ta i trä" which simply means touch tree. My interpretation was funnier tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall Writer Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 In Liverpool, they would say " Ta i tra laaa " I think it should also be pointed out that "Ta i tra laaa" translates into Queen's English and "thank you and goodbye, my good friend" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemist Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) The more i think about it the more i believe Dm has pulled off another masterstroke in signing this guy! If he settles fast and finds his 'spiritual home' at Goodison i think he can be twice the player Mikel has been for us in the past 2 years say Potentially free transfer and if he does find his best form here, inevitably he'll be sold for a large wod of filthy lucre well done Dm win/win.....potentially speaking I feel the force is strong with this one.

The speedy Real Madrid winger was a summer target for several sides, including Portuguese giants Benfica. Drenthe, 24, said: "I told my agent the only thing I wanted is to go to England. If not I'd stay in Madrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Massive dutch prescence in the Prem league (current and historic) may swing it for him: Johnny H, babel, kuyt, Van Der Vaart, Van Der Sar, Van Meyde (hmmm), bergkamp, Van Nistlerooy, van Hoojidonk, van persie, robben, overmars, hasselbaink, stam, absolutely loads of them, having been over there a couple of times and my local club having an affiliation with an amateur team- rest assured they know absolutely everything about our league. Wouldn't surprise me he chose our league over another european league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongli Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 How do you say his name? I've heard a lot of talk about how to say the Argentine's name, but this one isn't obvious to me either. DRENTH? DREN-thuh? Dutch people always seem to tell me that most Dutch footballers' names are mispronounced by English speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sounds like he won't be playing against Villa On a side note, the old man bought myself and him the third shirts yesterday, and he got Drenthe 10 on the back. It looks quality!! However a fat, white, middle aged man is not quite the young, small, black lad that the name represents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
