In my opinion, as a native English speaker living in the north of Spain, he should be applauded for...

ever so slightly modifying his English when speaking to non-native speakers of the language.

Now, he was speaking to a BBC English reporter, but I get it, you know, he's in character.

By using the present tense rather than the past and clipping the end of some words so they don't run together, it helps listeners no end when trying to understand English.

It shows a level of empathy

of Marcus that most of us from English-speaking countries don't possess when abroad will typically rock up to hotels and restaurants expecting the staff to speak our language, get annoyed when they don't understand what we're saying despite not having the awareness to modify our speech patterns as Rashford has done.

Moreover, I defy anyone who lives in a foreign country not to adopt a slightly foreign twang when speaking English to locals.

Joey Barton, Steve McLaren should be let off the hook.

Maybe not Joey Barton.

Anyway, love the pod.

Keep up the stellar work.

Regards, Stuart.

God damn it, Stuart.

Fine, fine.

We can't have any fun.

It was a very un-Joe-like season upon Rashford, I thought, actually.

Yeah.

It was a bit.

It was just, it wasn't so much, I can't understand why he's doing this.

I understand why he's doing it.
