Thought he spoke very well, especially as it is his second language. The whole of Europe thing was obviously a bit tongue in cheek!

He is ramping up the pressure psychologically on his team by the sound of it, effectively saying this is Huddersfields one great chance etc. Sports psychology often encourages visualisation of lifting trophies, celebrating promotion on the pitch etc, to the point that you believe so strongly that this is your destiny, it is just all this kind of claptrap really.

Working in Manchester I can confirm that the majority of United fans want Reading to win because of the Jaap connection.

Bit like after the Sheff Wed game when he rounded 'em all up and was putting a single finger up in the air. Didn't have to be a lip reader to see that he was emphasising "we're are just one game, one game away from playing in the Premier League". In the Jaap man we trust. He goes about his business in a very calm and effective manner 8)

Not that remarkable really, like Danny Williams, Wagner's father is American and Wagner is a former American international.

And speaking English isn't rare over there.

I remember asking a steward outside a football ground if he spoke English, as I wanted to know where the ticket office was. "But of course!" he replied, sounding almost puzzled, as if I was asking him if he could tie his own shoelaces.

With apologies for going a tad off topic

Perhaps you haven't noticed but Europe is not taking Brexit well?!

Danuta Hübner, the head of the European Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs Committee (AFCO), warned that English will not be one of the European Union’s official languages after Britain leaves the EU.

The Commission has already started using French and German more often in its external communications, as a symbolic move after Britain voted to leave the EU
