    Cos I really doubt Bobby P speaks a word of English.

    I think Holebas is half Colombian, so maybe they try a bit of Spanish.

    This bothered me all night watching the Everton game.

    Thoughts?

    I'm glad someone has raised this. For months now I've thought of little else

    Late in the 2nd half Pererya was taking a corner shouting "jose!..... Jose!" Was clearly picked up on the tv audio. He only said his name, so i dont know what language it was.

    I swear I heard Bobby P shout to Holebas "Stick it in the mixer!"

    and when he crossed for the second goal "Go on Doucs, stick it in the onion bag"

    After the free kick went in Holebas mouthed "We've been right mugged off"

    So I don't think communication is an issue.

    Holebas' main language is German, but he also speaks English. I don't believe he speaks Spanish or even Greek. Bobby P speaks Spanish. I can only conclude they communicate in a series of hand and arm gestures.

    They communicate through secret radar that is secreted in the balloon-like dropped crotch area in the *JHolebas* jogging bottoms that they both seem too favour.

    *other brands are available...and I implore you to buy them.

    Funny I thought RP shouted "In turpis potuisti"

    And Holebas mouthed "Ite in Doucs: potuisti ad cepa lapides sacculi"

    Didn't catch the last one though - I was ipse paulum angebatur

    Holibas interprets everything as "Try and hit the first defender" and has been known on occasion to take it too literally.
