Still not worthy of a thread

Gutted I've been pronouncing Mo Diame's name wrong:

 

So here's a quick guide for commentators out there:

 

Diamé - it is not pronounced "dee-ah-may", but "jammeh" exactly as the surname of that former Gambian President Yahyah Jammeh

 

Liverpool star and Senegalese player Sadio Mané's first name is not pronounced "sah-dee-oh", but "sah-jaw"

 

The first name of England's Dele Alli is shortened from the Nigerian name "Bamidele" - and therefore does not rhyme with "telly, jelly or smelly", but with "waylay"

 

The surname of Stoke City's Mame Biram Diouf, from Senegal, is not pronounced "dee-oof", but "joof", rhyming with roof

 

Badou Ndiaye is also with Stoke and from Senegal - and his last name does not sound like "in-de-eye" or "en-gee", but "nj-eye"

 

For Fulham's Aboubakar Kamara, who is of Mauritanian descent - pronounce each syllable "ka-ma-ra"

 

The last name of Moussa Wagué of Senegal, who plays with Barcelona, does not rhyme with "vague". It is pronounced "wah-geh"

Manager of Panionios and scout for NUFC according to his LinkedIn page. Had no idea either that he was at Oldham & Arsenal years before we signed him!

 

He's got a weird managerial career. Never seems to stay anywhere more than a year and he's somehow managed Olympiakos Nicosia three times so far.
