minor things that make you fume

Player pronunciations that our commentators have dreamt up that make me feel ill:

  • Leonardo Uchoa (in what language is a 'LL' pronounced "CH"? Hint: not Spanish)
  • Suh-chez-nee (Sczcesny - Shez-nee)
  • Fir-mee-nio (it's Firmino)
  • Kevin De Broon (actually heard this one before)
  • Ber-tron (as in Bertrand. He's not even French, he's English)
  • Boyan (Bojan, Spanish commentators call him Boh-zhan)
  • Hun-do-wah (genuinely heard GUNDOGAN pronounced like this and I'm not even joking)
  • Pees-check (Piszczek - Pishek. See: Szczesny)
  • A-knee-cherby (Anichebe is pronounced Anni-chee-bee surely)
  • Mangler (Mang-ah-la)
I'll add to the list as I think of them

Anthony Mar-Chee-aal as in Anthony Martial as in court Martial FFS
 
Martin Tyler

Full of his own hype. He makes me cringe, remember after a meaningless consolation goal in a 6-2 defeat to Utd he growled, "Jenas by name, GENIUS by nature"....whopper.
More recently - "It's ELEVEN, It's HEAVEN for Jamie Vardy!" - Obviously a pre-written soundbite he couldn't wait to get it out. Plus he was audibly absolutely devastated over the whole Slippy G episode when the bus-clappers spewed the league.
 
Sky golf commentators, they are nearly as bad as the studio football pundits, all stuck up their own rectums. Paul McGinley is the worst of the lot, he makes it sound as though he's won everything in the book, if he has it was a very small book. The only ones I'd exempt from criticism are Wayne Grady and Rich Beam, both have an idea of what players are doing and shots they have to face, Ewan Murray would make a decent undertaker.

'Who-gives-a-phook' ;) I'm not some poncey newsreader getting paid squintillions of quids to sound (Or look, or act) like a 2@.

Them (bbc especially) newsreaders burn me head out with their silly intonations & pronunciations. 'Controversy' is another one.

It's not 'Con-tro-ver-see' ffs, it's 'Con-trovessy'. Always was, always should be.

Pffft! :coffee:

Might do round the 'Elephant and CARSSEL' mate; but not round here it doesn't. Unless one wishes to be relieved of their valuables.

And there ain't no 'r's in Parkistan, or 'pakistarn' or 'parkistarn' or however the southerners say it this week .

As a southerner who lives in the South, surrounded by other southerners, I can confirm that the consensus pronunciation down here is "Pa-kiss-tan".
