Voronin - 'Britain's a cultural backwater'

Maybe but if you were relatively new in a foreign country and your kiddy was sick where would be the first place you took them?

McDonalds?

[Shanks]

He says foreigners struggle to understand home-grown team mates such as captain Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher because they "speak with some peculiar local accent".

Tell me a foreign Liverpool player player who hasn't said this before.

He's right, the NHS is **** and crime is rife.

****e piece of writing and another excuse to have a pop at another Liverpool player who may not have hit it off since arriving.

Harsh.

Daily Heil twisting a foreigners words to fit their xenophobic, anti-EU stance. Bought by the majority - hook, line and sinker.

McDonalds?

KFC surely?

[Kenneth]

The things he's actually quoted as saying, I find it hard to disagree with tbh.

[zimbo]

KFC surely?

But Ronnies gives toys out with their Happy Meals. Enough to cheer up the poorly offspring of any underachieving, sartorially retarded Premiership goal-grabber.

Dont get me wrong I am with him, I think England is a bit of **** hole in places and the NHS is not ideal but If you are effectively a Millionaire and you move to a new country, first things first you get yourself a good lawyer, a good accountant, a good doctor, a private school and a ****ing private hospital .... but then again after seeing the women's attire he is dating he is hardly the brightest light on the Christmas tree

Meh. What's that compared to a delightful container? Name me a kid that wouldn't smile at a pretty bag.

Kids can choose their favourite food from the KFC Kids’ Choice Menu. The portions might be smaller, but that doesn’t mean we’ve cut down on taste – it’s as irresistible as ever. Choose your chicken, side, drink and dessert from the menu and we’ll wrap it all in a cute Kids’ Meal bag to put an even bigger smile on their faces.

I like the way the spin of the article is accepted. All he said was it was harder to understand scouse accents which may well be true if you are trying to learn English. It is probably true of any strong accent in any language if you are trying in part to learn from teaching.

Is anyone really surprised to hear someone say that Germany's health service is better than the NHS?

Spot on, he doesn't really say anything wrong. Hardly an "attack" as the writer tries to spin it.

Everyone's a winner.

Don't rate him as a player or as a player good enough for our squad..

But I don't read anything offensive in his quotes...........he's just telling it like it is based on his experience......especially considering it involved a medical incident with his child..
When's the last time someone you know mouthed off about the health service ?
Regardless of whether he's loaded or not, he is as entitled as anyone else to decent public healthcare..........we all should be..

Once again, its another media spin on what a Liverpool player says..........why am I not surprised ?

[Angryred]

I would have thought the the club's doctor would have looked after his son rather than go to a NHS Hospistal or go to the Alder Hey Hospistal for the children?

A bit funny, that!

[Big Dave]

Didn't Rafa say to the foreign players that he brought in early doors to go speak to Carra if they wanted to learn the lingo?!

Not really, the LFC medical staff are specialst physiotherapists, not pediatricians.

[Sarb]

Rubbish player. Hopefully he's booked his ticket out the club
