My mate used to call Arnie ‘Artanovich’ for the first season he was with us despite me strenuously trying to say his name properly at frequent intervals in the hope it would sink in.
We had a chap behind us in block 25 calling Clucas ‘clukeless’

Yes!!! Its like the caller a few seasons ago who kept on saying Allefy instead of Afellay. Cringe. Pej was saying Peter EtOBO on Saturday. My old man blends Afobe and Etebo into one. Benik Efebo or Peter Etobe. |

There's no-one on earth worse than my Dad for being unable to pronounce any name more complicated than 'Smith'.
Bruno Indi Martins
Ramadan Sobhi he gave up on and just called him 'The Egyptian'
I can't even describe what Ndiaye comes out as
The obligatory Charlie Adams

The Mrs always referred to Tuncay as Sunshine. The best for me was our Garth getting all tongue twisted on BBC results programme and calling Ricky van Wolfswinkle .......Rip Wolfs van Winkle. Also in the 60s Farmer Palmer were two players not one.  |

The problem I have is I know all the names and pronunciation but still prefer to call most of them bone idle tossers who dont give a shit about the club.

Can I add Ed de Gooey, (Liam Brady?) and Marc Muniesta (Denis Smith)
Talking pf Pej was it Gary Newbon who pronounced his surname like "paycheck". Maybe Brian Moore. Micky Paycheck makes him sound like an accountant for the Mafia.

Please everyone - his name is HUGHTON not Houghton. Its doing my head in. The style of football his teams play will do your head in too. |
