Blades players name pronunciations

[Sean Thornton]

I often pronounce Baldock as Baldrick. That would be a sight flying down the wing.

Think early McBurnie.......

 

[highgreenintokyo]

Japanese commentator over here pronounces Basham as “Beshem”. I’m happy with that, though. After 10 years here, without a reliable way to watch games, it’s so great to be able to watch us regularly; they can mispronounce anything they want!

 

[Chief_Froley]

"Lead" as in "lead".

"Lead" as in 'SCART lead'

I'm sorry, this is just generating more confusion. Has the SCART guided you so you are "SCART lead" or are you taking the SCART out for a walk on his "SCART lead"?

I love the English language.

 

[bongleblade]

still struggle with Will-der/Wilder lol

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

As a young un I thought we used to have 2 different players.. Eddie Coloo and Eddie Colqohououqo I give up.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

still struggle with Will-der/Wilder lol

Pronounced Vill-dare

 

[Grappler]

I think you’d still say the ‘g’. I’ll ask my Polish mate ...

EDIT - they’ve confirmed it would be said like Yagielka.

Think Jags actually pronounces it yag-eelka, not yaggy-elka, which makes sense (depending on what part of Poland his family originate.)

The city of Kiev, which we pronounce kee-ev, local Ukranians pronounce Keev.

As most of Eastern Ukraine was originally Western Poland (until world war two), maybe the family line of Jags is from that region?

 

[Akinbiyi]

Matt Lowton - "Low" rhyming with cow or "Low" rhyming with toe?

I seem to change this one every time I say it.

Low as in low

 

[Akinbiyi]

still struggle with Will-der/Wilder lol

That’s a new one

 

[Beans]

Low as in low

Hmm, I think I'd say low as in bow.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Hmm, I think I'd say low as in bow.

Bow or bow?

I once briefly worked with a bloke who said he was a good mate of Steve (and obviously knew Phil). I had no reason to disbelieve him (his face just lit up when I said I was a Blade) and he reckoned the family pronounced it ‘Yajelka’.
I used to know a bloke who’s family’s original surname was something like Kznztski but when his dad came to England he just changed it to ‘Kay’.

I think Akinbiyi means "LOW AS IN LOW" using the power of shouting, as you would when dealing with Johnny Foreigner!

 

[BushBlade]

Yeah but for that to work you have to hold your arm out, palm down and move it towards the ground a couple of times, like a manager telling his players to calm down. And you have to shout slowly or they won’t understand.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Hmm, I think I'd say low as in bow.

Panchero will say Low as in Cow no doubt.

 

[RedandWhite]

Bolldock and Moussay, even us English can speak a foreign language the correct way you know!

If they don't understand, you haven't said it loud enough

 

[benn5712]

The pre-season vs Betis.
Commentator called skipper Beelay Shap.

 

[Sean Thornton]

EJO Hemsley is often referred to as Helmsley on here.

 

[Sean Thornton]

I’d guess “Hammond” has had the most pronunciations since Terry Cunt signed for us.

Stick at it!

There are the making of a funny sentence in there somewhere.....

“There is” or “makings”. Tut.

All that money on a private education Scott. It’s tragic, it really is......

 

[Hamburg Blade]

I'm sorry, this is just generating more confusion. Has the SCART guided you so you are "SCART lead" or are you taking the SCART out for a walk on his "SCART lead"?

I love the English language.

If you loved the English language that much, you'd know that the past participle of "to lead" is led, so wouldn't actually be confused at all.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Inspired by Bladespod Andy/Panchero/Rogbiv/Roy’s view from insane pronunciation of Baldock. You’ve got a few obvious ones but some much more down to interpretation. How do you say them?

First you’ve got: Bolldock, Bawldock or BALdock? Team Beans or Team Roygbiv?

Moussay or Mousset? One of my favourites has been Muzzyizzet, but I feel like the bloke was mentally challenged so I’ll let that one go.

The age old debate, do you agree with his own pronunction of his name, Yagielka, or the obviously correct Jagielka?

 

[guancheblade]

Oh dear. Who wants to be the first to tell him that the obviously correct pronunciation is actually Yagielka?

 

[Sheffsteel]

I remember old blades saying Tony ‘Kerry’. Bottom line is we don’t speak reight.
