Gylfi Sigurdsson's accent

[rhroyal]

Whenever the line ups are announced on BBCRB, I have a little laugh at Gylfi's accent. He's got a proper local accent, not a foreign hint about it. Stephen Hunt and Shane Long never managed that!

[Sharpy]

he has been here since he was 14....what do you expect....

[SHORT AND CURLY]

Its a Scandinavian Icelandic thing.
Look at Jan Molby (Danish?) sounded Scouse
Peter Schmeichel (Danish) sounded Manc

Our Northern European friends are very closely linked when it comes to linguistics.
The only difference being they speak different languages

[LoyalRoyalFan]

I will tell you.

I worked in Reading for ten years and their addiction to sound like cokernees is very sad, the normal accent around Reading is a chirpy confident voice but no way near cockernee.

Mostly the accent comes from people that want to be cool or think london is cool. FACT

Siggi sounds like a natural Berkshire person, which is refreshing. He is torn between Reading and west berkshire imo.

When i was young i thought being cockernee was cool, it isnt. trust me.

Peter Schmeichel (Danish) sounded Manc

Nothing to do with the fact that he played for Man Utd for years then .......

Just like Molby did with Liverpool you mean? Think that was kind of the point wasnt it?

Cockerney? I can't speak for everyone from the town but I've never felt the need to wear a flat cap and start talking in rhyming slang.

[FiNeRaIn]

Whats that supposed to sound like, wtf? Just write it normally...

[Allyh84]

I have a Shinfield accent with a North Woodley twang.

You mean the canety counciw? Yeah I wouldn't trust them for anythink

[Millsy]

The Iceman and the Gunnar have strong accents but generally I find Scandinavians (if you can call Icelanders that) are much better at picking up the English accent than anyone else. I listen to a fair amount of European bands and the Scandies always sound brilliant.
