Gary Neville ripped the p*ss out of Phil’s Spanish…but he’s going to need these 10 phrases

Ben Kenyon

Gary Neville’s favourite past time recently has been ripping the p*ss out of his brother Phil’s attempts at speaking Spanish.

Barely a day goes by when Gary is not trolling his younger twin on Twitter over the time the assistant Valencia boss got a little, er, lost in translation.

Just in case you’d forgotten, Phil tried to tweet in Spanish about a bracing morning run he’d just done on the beach, only it didn’t quite translate like that…

Gary’s been ripping him ever since…

But the shoe could very well be on the other foot soon. Gary is quickly going to have to grasp the Spanish language in his role as Valencia’s head coach.

So we thought we’d lend a hand by sticking some useful phrases through Google Translate. You’re welcome, Gary…

‘Es tu turno para recoger los conos de nuevo, Phil’

2) Two pints of Boddingtons please –

‘Dos pintas de Boddingtons favor’
