Useless commentators

Why is it the useless fuckmuffins the Beeb employ can't even pronounce our player's names properly? For several seasons we have had to listen to them wittering on about Yagielka, and now, despite the name on the back of his shirt, we have a player they want to call Kilgannon. Who can we sign next for them to verbally mangle? Good job we didn't sign Kenny Lunt, or Freddy Canoute.

isnt that how his name is pronounced anyway?

I also agree about the kilgallon thing, was highly annoying

It's how he pronounced it, yes.

Anyone remember Jostein Flu?

Well, technically, it should be more like "Yag-ye-w-ka", because originally, the Polish name would have been spelt with the 'l' having a diagonal line through it (L with stroke), which is pronounced like a 'w'.

Technically

'Flu' is closer to how is should be pronounced than 'Flow'. Personally, I liked how Harry always called him "Justin Flow".

At least it's not as bad as Bobby Robson getting his own player's names wrong.

Reporter to Newcastle's Shola Ameobi: 'Do you have a nickname?'
Ameobi: 'No, not really'
Reporter: 'So what does Bobby Robson call you?'
Ameobi: 'Carl Cort.'

And calling the Swiss "the Swedes" for the full 90 minutes in Euro 2004!


And another one for yers. Bit more recent. Jonathan Forté.

Olé, olé, olé, olé! Forté! Forté!

In that case, he's Argentinian. Handball? Diving?

Think you are thinking of Diego Maradonna fella.

 

[keenzy]

[Sheffield-Bl4de]

I think Tevez is a great player, not Man U material mind, but still a great player.

 

[stinkyblade]

Well he is in double figures for goals, he is definitely Man Utd material
