[masikforever]

I understood only 'Chelsea'

[chungvui]

[TehIdiotOne]

Try look at this with the transcribe audio thing.

[aksh16]

It's weird I could follow most of it.

I've been watching too much English football

[babykikino]

soo fast~_~ 

[ana10871]

omg so fast

[RiEwOLdT]

whats with the subliminal messaging... =_=

[BostonCreamDonut]

Im not even from England and i understand this perfectly, its just fast but totally understandable.

[simjom02]

Almost sounds like he's speaking a different language here. Would help if he slowed down a bit!

[georgykicksass]

I think the reason why most people don't get it is because Carra talks about football. You just don't watch it.

[SUPERFRANKE]

it dosent mean that we don't hear well !! maybe his lang is bad cause i listened to the other players and I heard them well !

[SUPERFRANKE]

@SUPERFRANKE I mean his accent !

[ddadkins]

Im a born Scouser and very proud live in Sarasota florida for 20 yrs my kids are American my Husband was born in Tennessee with the sweetest accent..as he says mine is.... so we all have accents thats what makes us all unique and perfect we have to just take the time to listen and enjoy

[John10lfc]

Dont get the point in the video. Not hard to understand

[devvotimee]

i thought the caption for the video were subtitles

[jiffypop86]

This guy's speaking English mixed with jibberish! You cant just make up words like that! Why would anyone deliberately talk like this?!

[bornAtruePERSIAN]

@jiffypop86 you're a fucking idiot? And the fact that u think you actually KNOW that he's speaking "English with Jibberish" is IDIOTIC! Fucking American cunt!

[jiffypop86]

@bornAtruePERSIAN first off, I'm Canadian. My background's all English, and Im completely proud of that. I respect the English 100% as a people. But why would someone intentionally talk like this? Where you only understand everything 4th or 5th word? This never happens anywhere in Canada, save for Quebec where they speak French. Yet when they speak English, they're STILL easier to understand that this guy!

[bornAtruePERSIAN]

@jiffypop86 it's just his accent, it's called a Scouse accent, People in England fully understand him. And it's not like he is just doing this for fun, it's how he talks, and he's called Jamie Carragher BTW.

[jiffypop86]

@bornAtruePERSIAN You're telling me it's his accent, like he can't help talking like this? Come on! I lived in England and not everyone in England can understand him. They understand me no problem, but they can't understand someone who lives in their own country lol

[bornAtruePERSIAN]

@jiffypop86 @jiffypop86 Thats exactly what I'm saying, it's his accent, He's from Liverpool, he's a Scouser. Thats how he talks! And mate, I'm telling you. People here understand him. I didn't even watch this video with an insight to make fun of him, I actually listened to what he said and took it into account. He's a great guy and a good football player(he plays for Liverpool) Where in England did you live?

[jiffypop86]

@bornAtruePERSIAN well he needs to QUIT IT! Kingston, Surrey. Everyone sounded perfectly normal.

[BabeyPeacock]

There's nothing wrong with it. I'm from south africa and I can understand him perfectly.

[therx155155]

i wish i had that accent and troll people all day!

[bikramgill07]

Otherwise we've only either gone back or stood still so we all realise that theirs only one place for us to go now.

[bikramgill07]

I am sure the managers gonna make couple of positions but we say we don't wanna lose any one. We haven't has as good a chance under Rafa(benitez) in the five years hes been here and to get 86 points, beat man united twice, Chelsea twice and still not win the league is probably a disapointment. but I think we can look on back on it and say we definitely (had) progression but there's only one more way of progression forward otherwise isn't it.

[bikramgill07]

He says: Like any fan you get excited who you might playing again and being involved just cause your the player your still exactly the same as the man on the street. Your pickin up the paper and hopefully you're gonna win. So you've signed someone but i think this summer theres been a bit of speculation about players moving on sorta one was just hopin that doesn't happen now, people come in cuz main thing weve got a great side, a great squad at the moment.

[annapecora]

He sucks. I am a native English speaker and an ESL teacher. I can't understand this ignoramus. This must be a joke.

[CwLost]

@annapecora You're fucking ignorant. Its perfectly fine English, its just a different accent. His way of writing wouldn't be any different then you or me. And I'm born and raised in America and I can perfectly understand him, people make it out to be bigger deal than it actually is.

[A7MADAL7DDADI]

i am understand you no only < :D

[shi6aan]

أقول لا يكثر ما فهمت شي غير مان يونايتيد وتشلسي مرتين بس

باقي كلامه قرقرقرقرقر

[bbvibrabb]

English is my second language and he wasn't difficult at all to follow to me

[hurbaga]

@bbvibrabb yeah i'm From Saudi and got like 99% of it. that one percent i had to replay for it. and i've never been to the UK,

[Stonerlady6]

Since my English is quite good so far, I'd love to start improving by speaking an accent and really: Nothing I'd love more than scouse.

[The310886]

holly f......ck i could not understand any word, what he said??? O_o

[TurkishThrashManiac]

Scouse like Servet Cetin accent.

[izdurg4ever]

Gosh, I can only understand some words of what he says. It doesn't make any sense.

I imagine a conversation between Carragher and Carlos Tevez lol

[suryaji2]

i am indian kop!!! and i understoood everthing of it brov!!! its scouse not english!!! you should say scouse listening test. #YNWA

[blackstuff221]

"How many % do you get out of it?" ...yup thats English...

[Dudemar0]

I understood all of it.. Whats the big deal?

[MrNik355]

@Dudemar0 your english and accent are very hard to understanding



[unspokenscene97]

turn transcribe on!! at the bottom of the screen..hahaha

[casualastheycome]

i'm mixed heritage, half english, half scouse

[wedisegen]

[Pirlotte]

We're not English, we are Scouse!! YNWA

[ddadkins]

@Pirlotte YNWA

[HardstyleICE]

[TrooperLFC]

what i DID NOT understand was that monkey language which was used in the description

would that be salford?

[chiueugene]

@TrooperLFC It's Indonesian language if I am not mistaken

[daedralord1]

cunt

[GiveMeABloodyUser]

%89

[jisaw80]

@plaid4u

So what you are saying is Gerrard, Carragher and many other Scousers might be decendants of Northern Europeans? you know the Agger-kind of people. As for Rooney, does he not resemble Pure Anglo Saxon beast? also, please tell me why Wales is independant. Is it just one of the surviving countries where their ancestors(landlords) were not occupied by English kingdom? Oh yeah, one last question. What's the relationship between Celtic and Liverpool? Thanx.

[tsfm2p]

He doesn't talk fast it's just people are listening slow, lol.... we're used to the manicured speech of tv announcers and actors...

[jisaw80]

Irish people should speak Gaellic. Don't become s slave scumbag of English conquistador. I don't know what Anglo Saxons would say but if they see Americans, would they say "hey our English is original, lock at us"

[MyLylya1]

i speak american accent!.. this is useless...

[87JuliR]

How can someone speak so horribly?

[lumberjack988]

He's actually sorted out his accent. He used to sound so much worse when he was a lad. 

[thehushsound15]

Turn on the closed captioning (cc button) and click 'Transcribe Audio'. It's hilarious.

[Adammahon1]

are you serious this is not hard to understand

[deedee51687]

His accent isn't really that hard to understand, he's speaking so fast it might seem like it, but just listen closely and it's not so hard. This is coming from an American lol.

[MrVegard14]

it sounds like a scouser/a drunk idiot

[SweetCakes312]

@MrVegard14 go back to ya cardboard box you call a house

[TheClynch02]

I'm an Irish Liverpool fan and I could understand everything he said :),it's not that had to understand really!,I love the Liverpool accent :D

[jisaw80]

what a fuckin' octopus that sad hick from an isolated island, namely Scotland? ROFL.

[MsJieL]

@jisaw80 Actually, he's from Liverpool, and the accent is easy enough to understand if he slows down when he talks, which he never does.

[mAnclTy]

Americans, best of luck understanding this im from liverpool and i cant understand a word he says

[williamjeffersonreid]

Jamie Carragher is indeed a Scouse but this still sounds like a ridiculous imitation from a Liverpudlian-wannabe Londoner.

[ghaliboy]

Lol, of course going from nearly winning the league to missing out on the champions league, then a stint in the relegation zone.

hahahah carragher you're rubbish.

[ianl1389]

He's speaking the sims language

[mattlou87]

i understood every word

[DavidCameronPM]

That's not English....this is just meaan to foreigners!

[FabulousTempest]

About 50-60% and I'm a born and raised American.

This accent sounds really influenced by the Scottish accent. Yes?

[chaoshax14]

@FabulousTempest

no..

[johnnyp7]

I am Egyptian/Canadian and I got 100%

[rebelyell1205]

I'm American, and I understand about 90% of it. There's a few words I have to figure out from context. Maybe I'm helped by having lived in England (though not Liverpool) for university?

[TezScouserLFC]

why is it no one can understand what carragher says? Only a scouse accent you beauts, shocked by liverpool fans on this saying they cant understand him, love to know where they're from then cos ive never had a problem understandin carra, hes the most real player in modern football, grew up on marsh lane an never forgot his roots, grew up round the corner from him in seaforth an you still see him around bootle ways today, just a normal lad off the street playin for the best team in the world

[longbrowncurlyteeth4]

@TezScouserLFC

This is the accent of murdering criminals.

[longbrowncurlyteeth4]

@TezScouserLFC

Can't understand him in that thick criminal drole.

[jahmehz]

I'm american, and i understood probably about 10% of that. But I'm sure if I was English I would understand at least...50

[Spyfff]

This isn't English. It's sounds more likely like Deutsch :)

[rappoll]

@Spyfff wrong

[Spyfff]

@rappoll

I was just joking Einstein

[12jarzabek]

I'm a liverpool fan, but I almost piss myself laughing every time I hear him speak :)

[asthepalacesburn2]

Easy enough to understand, just the lack of pauses messes with my head.

[yardinoctora]

You're GOD Carra!! Cuma dia dan tuhan yang tau dia ngomong apa. YNWA!!

[LouisTyrer18]

how cant anyone understand him :S baffels me and am from wirral.

[darrendelong]

its a Scouse accent and he mumbles and speaks fast and he like to drop his volume towards the end sometimes. Some Scouse speaks clearer but still you need to get use to it. Its like every other British accent such as Geordies, Irish or Scottish.

[Relax0Vision]

does anyone else see a word flash on the screen around 39 seconds?

[dasior2]

understood perfectly I bet you americans can't get most of it lol

[bigbreco21]

@dasior2 I'm not american I'm Mexican and I perfectly understood everything he said.

[dasior2]

@bigbreco21 well done

[carbidutz]

fucked up liverpool accent

[jlgsanz]

Now i realise the effort Robert Carlyle put in playing Felix De Sousa in 51st State movie!

[ijdeltuit]

I only understood the ending a lil... But DAMNNN... Okay I'm screwed for my listening test today x_X

[benjamingelad]

easy to understand

i don't see the problem...

[MrSKINFLICK]

sounds like portuguese.......

[dEdGrimley]

Why oh why did they use Brad Pitt to play the Pikey in Snatch, when Carra would've been oh so much harder to understand.

[lauren123chick]

sorry, i am not english speaker and i dont understand.

[MissPressPlay]

LMFAO. if i wasnt english, i'd probably think this was french!

[mamadoso90]

only few words

[JenniandBunny]

100% i'm scouse

[dymek02]

about 4-5%, I get it only singly words.

[soloangel555]

JUST LOVE IT!

[walkingwhilesleeping]

His not English, his scouse!

[omiko09]

[SP3NDL0V3]

[Dallebo]

[SP3NDL0V3]

[Dallebo]

[sanjak]

I'm surely getting an F from this test.

[mzemhret]

this.. is fuckedup,

[hanasatu2000]

I bet he was speaking mix with english and other european languages.

[PukiLahKau]

I'm like having fun, you get excited think you might play again and being involved because you get to play instead of... but I there's sorta been a bit of speculation about ..... and to be able to do that and to get 86 points (?) twice, Chealsea twice, but still not win the league it's probably a disappointment but I think we can look back on it and see that we're definitely progressionable and there's only one more progression for us and that's that we've either gone back or stood still.

[Dallebo]

the (?) is beat man united twice

[Elijaaas]

He's speaking Scouse.

[jan6ko]

ahh.. this is too fast to understand XD

[roronoa1895]

I can barely understand what he said!! Are u Indonesian?????

Why would you like to test us? I see,,,u just want to tempt us!! Hehhe..Silly!! Urgh...Don't treat us like a baby, girl! What's your problem with Carragher tounge? Hard to understand? Well you know THAT IS CELTIC.
