Just been relaxing in the bath, listening to Antonio Conte being interviewed on 5Live after his team had demolished Utd 4-0 (snigger snigger).
Interviewer: "What does scoring so early do to your team's belief?"
Conte: "Eh.....?"
So the BBC muppet repeated the question.
Which again elicited a mumbled "What the fuck you on about?" kind of response from Conte, an Italian man who's lived over here for about five minutes.
Followed by an awkward silence until Conte's brain caught up and processed the phrase "scoring so early" and decided to confirm that Chelsea had indeed scored an early goal......
It's a stupid question for a couple of reasons.
(A) It's meaningless drivel (where is Scott, by the way?) because going one up inside a minute at home is hardly going to make them think "Shit! We're in trouble here" is it?
and
(B) It's terrible English and fails to take into account the fact that Conte's command of our language, whilst perfectly adequate for general chit chat, probably isn't robust enough to handle such a poorly phrased question.
What am I paying my licence fee for?
