Belfast Boy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Everton just gone 2-0 up. The reason I am posting this though is the co-commentator on Ch 5 is doing my head in by pronouncing Jagielka as JeJelaka. Which reminds me, my dad just can't get his head around N'Zogbia and always ends up calling him Zongbia or something similar. Anyone else got players whose names always come out as something else?

Bad Mongo Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Shit refereeing. Anichebe was a yard offside for his goal, and Eirik Bakke's goal was disallowed for a totally legal wrestling technique on the keeper. Should have been 1-1, really (or 0-0, if we're picky).

Martin Lol Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm watching AC Milan play Livorno. s**** game. How's the Livorno keeper Amelia doing? He would have been Robinson's replacement if there had been more time before the window shut, reputed to be all sorted for the summer. I've never seen him play (or I don't remember him) so I'm hoping we're not going going from the frying pan to the fire! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulled off one excellent save when it was 1-1, Milan have battered them for most of the game but without Kaka and Seedorf they've struggled to break them down in the box, Livorno have had everyone behind the ball most of the match.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 is it CASAPA or CA-CHAPA? I always thought it was casapa, with the second c, having that little thing underneath which makes it an S sound, like in french. Like "ca va?" pronounced "sa va?" (How are you?) Yet Mick Lowes continues to defy us all, and every french-speaking person by calling him Claudio Cachapa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputedly will cost £8m, roughly the same as Craig Gordon who by coincidence is the same age. Can't say I'm too impressed with Gordon, would you reckon Amelia represents better value? The more I hear, the more I think Robinson will never play for Spurs again so a sound keeper is a priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Caçapa is from Brazil, not France. Wikipedia seems to think his name is pronounced Cassapa, though, and all the top Google hits for a search for 'Cacapa pronounced' as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
