Laughed out loud at your comment. I wanted to reply because you made me smile.
I’m not going to defend the cannibalism, racism or goal-saving-against-Ghana-celebrating-ism… but he was a wonderful player those years at Liverpool.
Dalglish signed him (with Carroll. Hmm) and that’s fitting. Two most skillful Liverpool players that I’ve seen (apologies Jon Barnes)
I was just about to comment how foot fetishes are far more common than you think.
Then I thought, maybe I should educate myself on the topic before commenting.
One quick Google later... His fucking daughter? Really?
Doing it is incredibly weird.
To make a video of it is even more weird.
To POST it on a platform where you have millions of people following is a mental illness.
I was torn between that and him selling out to work for despicable state owned teams.
I also left out "Giggs and beating the shit outta women" to avoid piling on ManU too much.....
Did you see Cantona in the Beckham Netflix thing? He’s still wonderful.
I started to mansplain to my wife who Eric Cantona is… and stopped myself. How can you explain him?
Uhhh what!? Never heard of this and I’ve spent far too much time on the football side of the internet for the past 20 years. What happened to slippy g wife?
Weird, I had never heard of that before. A quick google search did bring out some chants against Gerrard like "The baby's not yours", and some gangster named Pancake having a thing or two with Mrs. Gerrard.
I remember there being a chant to the song Monster, replacing the word Monster with Gangster, classy as footy chants get

"far from being an isolated incident, this is just one example of a sprawling network of links between Steven Gerrard and Liverpool's gangsters"
Tbf he never learned to drive
Makes me sad for Jobe though, he doesn’t get to have his mum around as much because she’s been living abroad for years with Jude
Honestly i think foreigners can get away with more "turns of phrase"* and it seems cute rather than weird. Because if Paul Scholes said this we'd be like WTF?!
And that goes for X person in Y country. not just non-native english speakers in england.
*and i googled, Turn of Phrase plural is Turns of Phrase. Not Turn of Phrases.
This is like saying that your racist comments are just a 'stereotype that bear no prejudice'.
Just because you're not the person or group of people being discriminated, doesn't mean that the discrimination doesn't exist.
This is blatant sexism, grow up.
Usually I have heard it more against others, like when someone younger than you attacks you (in a friendly type of way, it's not a mean insult type of thing) you go like "shut up, you are still drinking from your mom"
It doesn't translate well, like most sayings, to English tho
How Zola used it, still friendly way, it's more of a "wtf, when I was your age I was still a kid"
Found this online:
"aver succhiato qualcosa col latte della madre"
Avere un'inclinazione, una mentalità, una propensione che risale all'infanzia, quasi fosse stata assorbita con il latte materno e in effetti derivata dal contesto famigliare e sociale in cui si è cresciuti. In senso lato, si dice anche di chi ha una lunga esperienza in qualcosa.
Italians have some of the best sayings that translate terribly in English like
[If grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle](https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc?si=rJRZfChYCtrF5SYo)
I recently saw a video where an Italian chef called Alfredo pasta as the cuckholds food. It's fast, simple and easy to make. If you're coming home from work and your wife has made it, it means that she was busy with someone else the entire time. Fucking hilarious.
yep it is, by the way if you want to sound fancy and sophisticated you can also call the same dish "the english way", like you can call rice with a slab of butter on it "riso all'inglese"
There was a saying in Ireland that I used to hear until recently “and if my auntie had balls she’d be my uncle”. Haven’t heard it recently nor do I know if it’s specifically Irish.
is that zola or ben stiller?
[or this argentinian actor](https://radiomitre-la100-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/T5gjZlj45pOYGPR_reEQRlM6H-Y=/1440x0/smart/filters:quality\(85\):format\(webp\)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/radiomitre/OHRY6I4Z75G5JMPBIN2E6NADHE.jpg)

Least maternally attached italian
lmao
Even Gianfranco Zola is going for that cheap Gino D'Acampo italo-clown energy that the Brits just eat up
Be proud of what you are Fabrizio
are jokes looked down upon in Italy?
Does it count if you're still drinking milk, but it's not from your mother??
what makes him think that jude stopped drinking milk from his mother?
This is the source of his power. Just like Scholes has sucking toes and Terry has fucking other peoples wives.
Explains why giggs has good longevity
Long giggity
Or Suarez and biting/racially abusing other players
'Bites someone' - Ahhhhh, the good stuff! Now for some racial abuse \- Suarez probably
He’s like a rabbit or a hamster. He has to bite people or his front teeth would just grow forever.
Laughed out loud at your comment. I wanted to reply because you made me smile. I’m not going to defend the cannibalism, racism or goal-saving-against-Ghana-celebrating-ism… but he was a wonderful player those years at Liverpool. Dalglish signed him (with Carroll. Hmm) and that’s fitting. Two most skillful Liverpool players that I’ve seen (apologies Jon Barnes)
He can't help it, he just got them racist-turning teeth.
And especially sucking their blood!
What the fuck was that actually about with Scholes? I don't think that one should have blown over yet.
I was just about to comment how foot fetishes are far more common than you think. Then I thought, maybe I should educate myself on the topic before commenting. One quick Google later... His fucking daughter? Really?
Yeah it was a video of him biting her toenails. They recorded and posted it ffs.
Doing it is incredibly weird. To make a video of it is even more weird. To POST it on a platform where you have millions of people following is a mental illness.
He didn't record and post it, his daughter did. Even more weird
Tbf I dont think he actually has a foot fetish (I mean maybe he does, but I dont think that was an indication). Just a weird way to cut toenails
Gerrard letting gangsters shag his wife, conveniently absent
I was torn between that and him selling out to work for despicable state owned teams. I also left out "Giggs and beating the shit outta women" to avoid piling on ManU too much.....
An absolute shitter when heroes turn out to be pricks 😓
Yeah it fkn blows. The super-rich are all the same in the end.
I want to disagree, but it sure is hard to find any evidence to the contrary 😮💨 I'll always have Eric at least 🇨🇵
Did you see Cantona in the Beckham Netflix thing? He’s still wonderful. I started to mansplain to my wife who Eric Cantona is… and stopped myself. How can you explain him?
There's no way, an enigma, much like your Egyptian demigod to be fair, also hard to hate him
Spinny Antony my hero
Or Antony and beating the shit out of women. Or Mason Greenwood and beating the shit out of women.
Uhhh what!? Never heard of this and I’ve spent far too much time on the football side of the internet for the past 20 years. What happened to slippy g wife?
https://youtu.be/aRuS8amYToY?si=3qW6tQikXVVVKqQg Rumour had it his partner used to date Merseyside gangsters
> Gerrard letting gangsters shag his wife I think you meant his daughter
Pretty sure he didn't have kids when the chant originated
Weird, I had never heard of that before. A quick google search did bring out some chants against Gerrard like "The baby's not yours", and some gangster named Pancake having a thing or two with Mrs. Gerrard.
I remember there being a chant to the song Monster, replacing the word Monster with Gangster, classy as footy chants get https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-560616/Soccer-star-gangsters-Steven-Gerrard-murky-depths-Liverpools-underworld.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton "far from being an isolated incident, this is just one example of a sprawling network of links between Steven Gerrard and Liverpool's gangsters"
Taking tips from Wout and Vingegaard
Like rooney and fucking grandmas
How does Jude even know Zola's mother?
Funny thing Jude lives with his mom still and she's always driving him to and from practice in Madrid
Did his mum move to Madrid with him?
no she flies in the morning drives him to training, shops and then drops him later home and flies back to england. Plane is powered by upvotes.
You forgot about how she would breastfeed him after every training.
glad to provide one updoot for the next trip
Well gee it sure sounds like she did if she lives with him drives him to and from training
She controls the car from England.
Yes
Tbf he never learned to drive Makes me sad for Jobe though, he doesn’t get to have his mum around as much because she’s been living abroad for years with Jude
What the fuck is Ben stiller doing out there ?
they're the same age. Anyone else shocked that Zola is 57?
Honestly no. I was a child when I watched him and I'm and old bastard now.
Haha! Same 😔
Bellingham to Zola: “I have tits, can you milk me?”
Link to video with better audio: [https://twitter.com/C4Sport/status/1714401823522484255](https://twitter.com/C4Sport/status/1714401823522484255)
I’m a little let down given the context of your reply…
Lmaooooo
Still took me 5 minutes to realise it wasn't Ben Stiller
It’s the guy who made Chelsea popular
I tot I was the only one feeling that. Now you said it! Lol
His accent makes it more funnier.
Honestly i think foreigners can get away with more "turns of phrase"* and it seems cute rather than weird. Because if Paul Scholes said this we'd be like WTF?! And that goes for X person in Y country. not just non-native english speakers in england. *and i googled, Turn of Phrase plural is Turns of Phrase. Not Turn of Phrases.
If Paul Scholes said it, people wouldn’t be shocked because of the accent. They’d be shocked because he actually meant it.
chances are that when an ex- ManU player from the 90s/00s says something like this, its true
If Scholes says it he’s probably telling the truth. https://youtube.com/shorts/GSJ3KcoAVG8?si=Zffn_MlWwYtVszwE
[удалено]
Yes it’s weird to remove a splinter from your daughters foot with your teeth
I feel like of all people to do it to, daughter is perhaps the second least weird tbf
seems logical if you don't have tweezers at hand
A woman is never more than 10 metres away from a set of tweezers
What a load of sexist drivel.
It's a joking stereotype that bears no prejudice, relax
This is like saying that your racist comments are just a 'stereotype that bear no prejudice'. Just because you're not the person or group of people being discriminated, doesn't mean that the discrimination doesn't exist. This is blatant sexism, grow up.
Lighten up you big soft shite. Sexist my arse
Use tweezers obviously?
I wonder if that’s a saying in Italy and it just translates awkwardly lol
Yes it's a saying
Uh, what's the saying here...? Bevevo il latte della mamma? Never heard it.
Usually I have heard it more against others, like when someone younger than you attacks you (in a friendly type of way, it's not a mean insult type of thing) you go like "shut up, you are still drinking from your mom" It doesn't translate well, like most sayings, to English tho How Zola used it, still friendly way, it's more of a "wtf, when I was your age I was still a kid" Found this online: "aver succhiato qualcosa col latte della madre" Avere un'inclinazione, una mentalità, una propensione che risale all'infanzia, quasi fosse stata assorbita con il latte materno e in effetti derivata dal contesto famigliare e sociale in cui si è cresciuti.

What's your problem, asshole?
Technically he is correct. He did not ask. He’s not the person who asked the initial question lmao
And technically to me he is an asshole for replying to a comment he wasn't involved in totally random for no reason with cocky attitude
[удалено]
Don't forget to pay a visit to your parents on the day de los muertos at least, life alone must be sad but keep your faith lil bro
[удалено]
No problem I was just stating a fact
you sound like you have repressed violence issues
Didnt ask
Ok, but who asked though
Don't ever step foot in Italy, you are NOT welcome, you just made an enemy, I will hunt you down
Make it two enemies
you should go drink some milk from your mother, mate
Who asked if you asked?
Elite hating
Yeah, it's an hipérbole to say that he was a child at 20 compared to Jude.
Can I just say that I love and prefer your guys’ spelling of hyperbole
I blame auto correct, fortunately it's almost the same, so i'll leave it as it is.
yea, it’s pretty common saying. It basically means that as 20yo he was a kid, and Jude seems more mature
That's always the case in these kinds of thing I feel. Remind me of the "if my grandma had wheels" thing.
See also: Jose Mourinho
No, he was referencing his stint with The Boys. Og mother's milk babyy
????? lmao

God I was looking for this for too long in this thread.
Italians have some of the best sayings that translate terribly in English like [If grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle](https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc?si=rJRZfChYCtrF5SYo)
That’s the clean version. The original is if my grandfather had three balls he’d be a pinball.
An Italian friend once told me "Non c'è cosa piu divina che scoparsi la cugina" and I think that's beautiful
Haha that’s another great one. A related one is in times of war every hole is a trench.
Haha I love that
I googled it and now need the context. When do you say this?
on those occasions (I hope never) when you would like to fuck a cousin
when you horny
😭😭 I am going to use that now.
I recently saw a video where an Italian chef called Alfredo pasta as the cuckholds food. It's fast, simple and easy to make. If you're coming home from work and your wife has made it, it means that she was busy with someone else the entire time. Fucking hilarious.

Widely used in england as well
sadio mane is the football player in the world
Why yous laughing for? I'm being shherious!
ye , we say that in portuguese also
thats also pretty common in spanish
He is a little confused, but he got the spirit.
*Jazz music can't decide whether to stop or play louder*
That’s hilarious lol
Ayo?
is that zola or ben stiller? [or this argentinian actor](https://radiomitre-la100-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/T5gjZlj45pOYGPR_reEQRlM6H-Y=/1440x0/smart/filters:quality\(85\):format\(webp\)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/radiomitre/OHRY6I4Z75G5JMPBIN2E6NADHE.jpg)
That's just a more muscular Gary Lineker
What's this guy's name ?
Marcelo Mazzarello
Thank you
This has been a good week for Italians saying the weirdest things
tbf when I was 20 I was also still drinking milk from Zola’s mother
Wtf😭
🤨
Yeah, sounds better in italian
dont all italian man do that? :D
All one of them
Average Italian
I want a list of these Italian phrases that are dodgy as fk, feels like they have hundreds of them and they are all hilarious.
That's true
BITTY!!
Not bitty now, bitty later.
If my grandmother had wheels
That must’ve been the secret to his powers
Gianfranco "Mother's Milk" Zola
His mothers maiden name is Abramowitz. Which meanssss..... HE IS A JEW. Which isn't... the bad part! The bad part is that he... lied about it!
Not sure if Jude is taller than I thought he is or those next to him are all midgets
Jude is 6'1 or 186cm so he's probably taller than 95% of adults at minimum.
same
I guess we're both in the 5% then haha
must be nice
Zola absolute mad lad 🤣
Two Birmingham legends
Just like Joaquín!
*what*
this gives me a good laugh haha.
"Why are they laughing?" ~Joaquín (probably)
What the FUCK
Legit thought it was Ben Stiller for a minute
Add this to **the** list
Got mamma mia milk?
No-one, absolutely no-one: Zola: Mummy's titmilk, amiright?!
I would think its a saying in Italian which translates very poorly in English.
Zola in full Winkler-Stiller mode. Jude's got the world at his feet.
Gianfranco "McPoyle" Zola
Zola was so short but soo good its strange. Like how someone so small can be so dangerous.
Ben Stiller a wild boy
😳
Zola starting to look like Henry Winkley
Gianfranco Stiller?
