The text of Rob's speech

Mes Chers Amis,

Comme certain d'entre vous le savent, j'apprend le Francais, je ne parle pas encore tres bien mais j'essaye.

Et ce soir j'aimerois vous souhaiter a tous la bienvenue. Je vous d'etre venue et vous souhait une tres bonne soiree.

S'il vous plait ne me parle pas en Francais cor je ne vous comprendrais heles pas.

Je vous aimes tous et allez Arsenal!

Or in the Queen's English if your O-Level/GSCE French doesn't stand you in good stead:

My dear friends,

As some of you may know, and as it will become obviously clear, I have been learning French. Not very well, but I am trying...

So tonight I would like to welcome you all to my birthday celebration. Thank you all for coming and having a nice time.

Please do not respond to me in French because I probably will not understand you.

I love you all. Up the Arsenal.

Ed note: I am not sure what translation service Pa used but they should be fired immediately. As should his French teacher, the distractingly pretty Helene.
