Am I missing something? WHY do some commentators insist on calling “Alex” “Alec”? It really get’s on my t!ts!! All they have to do is talk for a living and they can’t even get this right!
Do you think they don't know his name? Seriously?

I think it was him yes. It was ages ago so it will have been Motson Tyler or Davies. One of the old ones.

As a Stoke fan and season ticket holder since 1959 I think I am entitled to comment. As a Born and bred ABERDONIAN Alex Ferguson is the biggest **** or whatever you want to call him. Possibly cunt , possibly twat but they are useful..... He isn't!! COME ON STOKE £800.000 per place in premiership.... Do WHU ,do HULL tango girls, Do Wigan and coin it in! Arsenal.... lets hope they beat Manure on tuesday then they relax before that final. I would accept a point!

My dad calls someone, who calls himself Alex, Alec. And it pisses me of I don't know if he minds though never asked.
Just to clear that up my Dad isn't called Alex or Alec for that matter.
