Those translations can really bring the LULZ. Years ago I read one that combined the impending second arrival for Ilari Blasi and first time fatherhood for Alessandro Nesta in the same sentence. It made for a brief "wait...WHAT?" moment for the reader.

Inter did get rid of Mancini. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that. Word.

I love Google translate.

I can't believe we paid him €3.5m a year to basically do nowt.

The Premier Vegetables is the nicest thing anyone's ever called the EPL.

Well, I suppose one could try growing vegetables on a football pitch, but presumably the greenkeeper wouldn't be very pleased.

And the kids, well, don't they grow awfully fast at that age? So an age difference of nine or more months should be noticeable... I'd guess they're triplets.

Ha!! Not considering some of the pitches we have to play on. A few parsnips here and there would be a vast improvement.

That's what ancient_bat said, but I'd have liked to know all about them; what their names are, and whether his wife was horrified when she found out and so on. *Grumbles*

Right. In German, an extremely bad pitch is sometimes called an 'Acker' (field, in the growing crops sense) - does this also work in English?

*nods* Speculation is fine and good, but nothing beats hearing all the details from the people themselves.

*Thinks* We usually say it's "like a cattle wade in winter" - you know, a pasture that the cows have churned up with their feet so much it's a giant mud-hole. Of course, Italian and Romanian pitches are usually too dry and shored up with sand, so people there seem to call a bad pitch a "beach". XP

I dunno, I reckon there's a fair few vegetables in the EPL. ;)

As usual, Google Translate knows all. *Nods solemnly*
