Transfer Rumour Harry Winks

[Alan Whittle]

You do know that the term Cockney, only applies to a very small area of East London, don’t you ?

And, that there are variances of the accent, depending on whether you live North, South, East and West of the River ?

If you live East of the river you’re accent will sound “Glug Glug Glug” because you’d be swimming about off Southend pier.
West of the river would be in Gloucestershire so something like a Wurzrel who has had elocution lessons.
North of the river are all unspeakable anyway.
That leaves South of the river; God’s own country. From Lambeth and Vauxhall to Tooting and Croydon, language is mangled most graciously.
“Gitcha pie’n’eeeels!”

So you're telling me the chimney sweep I hired from west London might not be an actual cockney? Oh man...

 

[PhilEFC]

This is us all over. Haven’t seen much, but already prepared to give a negative view. ?

True, but a lad I work with who supports Tottenham said their fans would be made up if he left. That isn’t a ringing endorsement from people who watch him week in and week out. ?

 

[windymiller]

So you didn't understand yourself?

I think that is self-evident.

 

[JLW]

This is happening isn’t it!

I suppose he isn’t Gomes so at least there’s a positive.

I just hope the Goodison faithful don’t eat him alive before Christmas

 

[Naylor56]

@Naylor56 you’re comments would be very much appreciated sir.

Will save it for a special occasion

 

[d34noj]

We are really quite lovely.

My wife is one, I disagree.

He is the shorter, less handsome, English Gomes.

[The binman chronicles]

This is all just a misunderstanding, Lampard said he needed 40 Winks and that was picked up by the media.

*now worrying Winks is in some laboratory getting cloned over and over again...

I have also heard that the spurs supporters don't rate him, we should not buy a player that cant get near their first team, if he's not good enough for them then he's not good enough for us. a spurs cast off, no thank you.

Dick van Dyke played a cockney chimney sweep in Mary Poppins

The cockney acvent has developed from you 'wideman' geezer over years.
Mainly due to the carribean influence over the 70s. Also down to the world being alot smaller in terms of pop culture, influences etc etc.
