internationally, your trini accent most go cuz they wouldn't understand u so u need to slow it down

you can speak slower without changing your accent.  People choose to lose their accent aka change their accent.

Everyone is an expert. SMH.

Start there.

I think age and time has a part to play in it too. I can only speak from my own experience. My brother is 8yrs younger than me, he came to the US 1 year before me, and after we both were here for about 2 and 3 yrs respectively, people were shock when we said we were brothers, because he sounded like an American and I still had my "trini accent". My accent has faded over time, but it is still very noticeable.

LONG TIME. I say yuh give up on us

The ref let a similar play go in the first half when a ManU defender pushed the Leicester City striker in the box, and to me that was more blatant because his arm was extended out and not no shoulder to shoulder. So I understand why he let that one go too.

So Arsenal's valuation of Wellbeck is equal to Liverpool's valuation of Balotelli?  Interesting.  Brilliant piece ah business by United, if true.

I think he being English had a part to play in the fee

Oh I'm sure it did... but it also means that better options might have been out there beyond England.  I just have a hard time believing that Arsenal really wanted Welbeck all along, as opposed to panic buying at the close.

It's the Arsenal way  They had some interest before, but that was only if they did not get who they really wanted. Hope it works out in the long run, I am not as disappointed as most Arsenal fans are. ManU has more pressure to succeed with the amount of money they spent for a loanee.

Group F and E looks the toughest to me. Maybe D, but Galatasaray is not as tough this season as they were last and maybe you can say the same for Dortmund.

No wonder this English Arlo fella  is such a homer for the US side-he does call games for the Seattle MLS side. Gotta keep the green card!

That ended after last season, he now works for NBC Sports, calling MLS games for them. But yeah, he still needs to keep that GC close to his chest

I agree! I'm very excited about this marketing collaboration.  I hope W connection can stun the Sounders and really make a good Champion's league impression.  Trini hasn't had the cup since what 1985? Let's take on Chelsea in the world club cup!

W Connection is not in the same group as the Sounders, that's the job of Cali AIA! I am looking forward to that game and I would be cheering on Cali hoping that they at least make it competitive.

Big Up!

I meant in the finals! lol.
No, but thanks for the correction.  I put 500 bucks away hoping the Union were going to win their Semi Final match and play in the U.S. Open Cup finals in Seattle.  Maybe now I'll use that cash and go see AIA play! Do you live in Seattle?

Yes, I do. PM me anytime you in town.
