bananas and monkeys and football and pragmatics

First, I suggest you have a look at this link.. Then I suggest you try to find the whole speech at the official Hearts website. Then, I suggest you give the text to linguistics students everywhere for pragmatics analysis. Then, I suggest you try not to laugh too much. Finally, I suggest you dwell on this particular sentence for a while:

"I beg you Mowgli, take the monkeys back to the safari park."

Now, I suggest to think about this question: who is linguistically more interesting: Vladimir Romanov or Jose Mourinho?

Who knew football could offer linguistics so much?!! :)
