I've been here for 10 days already and am here for another 5, so there's plenty of time for sightseeing!

2-0 Marinos btw, ended up buying a top since they are the same colours as ICT; dead chuffed with it.

1-0 ICT at the moment with Rooooooooney scoring!!

I've heard it a few times this past week, after explaining that there are Scottish teams and players other than Celtic and Nakamura.

Trying to get a Japanese person to say 'Supercaleygoballisticcelticareatrocious' was a wasted effort!!

2-0 ICT, Robert Eagle.

Cue the PressandJournal running a 'Eagle has landed' headline tomorrow...

I'm off to get another drink.

"Invurenessu Caredonian Tisuru" would be my guess

edit: it's "Inbuaanesu Caredonian Shissuru" according to Wiki...

I think thats pretty much exactly the phonetics I had in mind. I could listen to that accent all day. Not even in a patronising/racist way, I just like it. Where does that 'uuu' sound at the end of almost any word come from?!

The "u" is often silent/shwar (sp), so they can knock it off and get close to the original pronunciation. So Inbuaanesu would be just "Inbuaanes".

I thought my mates were taking the piss when I had to say things like 'Biruuu' for beer, 'hot doguuu' for hot dog and Scotlanduuuu for Scotland.

You soon pick it up though. Not many Japanese speak good English from what i've encountered, so I'm mega thankful of having Scots mates here who speak pretty good Japanese.

Scotland is Sukottorando. Basically Scot-tland-o. In beer the stress is on the i, not the u (biiru).

Just watching some clips of Zhirkov that Chelsea have signed. Cor. He looks incredible, with a left foot that could open a can of beans.

Can't wait for the Premier League to start. Weakened United and Liverpool Squads are going to really open things up. Chelsea were incredible under Hiddink, and probably would have walked the title if he'd have been there from the start. If Arsenal can shape up their squad, then the top 5 places, and the order, are going to be mighty interesting.
