Mole_Toonfan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Di Marzio just makes up s**** for the followers/website hits. Said the other day we'd agreed a €15 million fee for Mitrovic. That doesn't even make sense if you wanted followers and website hits, you would stay as far away from us as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Chelsea have signed some Brazilian kid, Nathan. Sounds like a right playboy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I hate the boring Brazilian names - Nathan, Oscar, Douglas, Alan, Fred etc. Stick an 'inho' on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I hate the boring Brazilian names - Nathan, Oscar, Douglas, Alan, Fred etc. Stick an 'inho' on him. No wonder their national team has been shit in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 How frequently are the best Brazilians ones with "inho" endings on their name, though? Looks to me a pretty low percentage. Ronaldinho, Jairzinho. Who else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Wasn't Ronaldo Nazario known as "Ronaldinho" in Brazil (at the beginning of his career at least)? I remember this being cited as the reason Ronaldinho was known as "Ronaldinho Gaúcho" over there. Flip will know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ronaldinho means 'little Ronaldo', I think. It doesn't quite have the same impact when he's 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 -inho is like the Spanish "-iño" or "-ito"; just a diminutive attached at the end of a name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this being cited as the reason Ronaldinho was known as "Ronaldinho Gaúcho" over there. Flip will know. He was. At the World Cup in 1994 (he didn't play) his shirt read "Ronaldinho" IIRC.

Then he became the Fenomeno, but until today many people still refer him to Ronaldinho and the other one to Ronaldinho Gaucho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Xavi will be holding a presser this Thursday. Most certainly he will announce he's leaving Barça at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Incidentally, if we manage to win one of the remaining two trophies in dispute, Xavi will become the most decorated Spanish footballer of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
