Why be negative when you can be Positive? Beats me!

 I'm not sure if it was a dare or something but he sounds sooooo silly. Also it's not consistent because after a while he goes back to English. LOL So embarrising for him and anyone who knows him!

haha

It's so embarrassing I can't even watch it all the way through. There are times when he appears to be pretending he doesn't even know proper English..."We are, errr, what you call.....underdogs?" What on earth was he thinking?

 Haha I didnt notice that...Indifferent! What is he doing?!?!?! I think it's some sort of prank or something lol because he doesnt appear too serious in the interview. He just doesnt seem himself.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's a prank. I think what he's doing is speaking English the way he has been hearing Dutch people speak English since he took over at FC Twente. I think it's probably at least partly subconscious. But it's all stupid.Stick out tongue

 That's absurd, i wonder if he realizes how ridiculous he sounds. I thought the same thing when I heard Brad Freidel with a British accent though...

Yep Brad's is bad (it's gotten better tho, I imagine he's been teased about it), but at least his is "just" an accent. McClaren actually pretends not to know how to say some things in English!

 LOL, being Dutch it does sound a bit dodgy Big Smile but in fairness I think some of us have all done it in the past (sounding dodgy) when we are speaking english to a foreign person as we try to be slow and concice, I do it at work sometimes to my Slovakian colleague Big Smile
