Satisfied??

He used an interpreter post Sunderland. He still uses the interpreter at all his press conferences.
Seems it's not such a "dumb assed" thread after all, since your main point has been completely invalidated.

After the spiteful, nonsensical way most treated him since he arrived, I doubt he trusts a single English journalist. And he is right not to. Would you in the circumstances?
Can't argue with any of that.
I guess I've lost count of the number of times Mancini has been asked a question in a press conference, or post match, and has completely misunderstood the question and answered something else.
Still, as I said earlier, it's not a big deal, it's not even a deal. But in much the same way I wish Silva could finish better, I wish Mancini's English was a bit better... :)
If he wins the league this year I expect him to spend an afternoon with Martin Samuel giving us an in depth glimpse into his mindset.

There's nothing more patronising and pompous than people who feel the need to put posts they are quoting in HUGE letters, or in BRIGHT RED font, as if they are speaking to four year old children.
Other than that, well done for stating the obvious.
Bigga said:What a stupid argument!! Whatever happened I have not seen as I have stated by using "I" to clarify. "I" means me as in "Bigga" since "I" am clarifying what "I" have witnessed. "You" haven't seen what "I" have then!!
