Yorkie Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It wasn't crazy like. He hadn't really done it for us in the Premiership. He was pants in that first half of the season. His replacement was what was crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Not sure like, doing it or not he's clearly a player with enough about him to be useful to the squad. Ancient history obvs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Why do we, as football fans, pronounce places as we imagine the locals do in a football sense but then back to English in a geographical sense, ie "I'm off to Paris to see Paree San Jerman" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's nothing to do with pronunciation I'm pretty sure. Seville is the English name of the city, but the football club is called Sevilla, using the Spanish name. So you don't change it. Same goes for Torino, Roma, Napoli etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Who the f*** says Paree? Do you say Paris Saint Germain ? No. you say Paree Sanjerman. With an undoubtedly atrocious accent that makes it worse than if you had simply pronounced "Paris Saint Germain" like a proper Englishman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 People do it with words outside the names of football clubs too. There's a technical term for the brief attempt at an accent for a foreign word in the middle of your sentences but the name escapes me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lost with what you're talking about here. Cities have different names, depending on language, because they are centuries old and fluid. Football club's are limited companies, who have an official name that is fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Internazionale Milano AC Milan One uses the English name, the other the Italian. You don't ever call AC Milan: 'Milano', because while its an alternative name for the city, it is not an alternative name for the football club.
