Guest MattP Posted 7 August 2012 Share Posted 7 August 2012 No-one here understands French pronunciations ? The whole country struggles, look at how we pronounce "Evra", anyone who has been to France knows its "Ev-war" rhyming with Tar. I dread to think what we'll end up calling him.

Surreyfox Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Has the potential to be the exciting edge of your seat like player that weve been lacking for years, cant say that i know his ability personally but from what ive heard and the match report (even though it is against weak oppenents) he is going to be a star. The championships new taarabt hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 The headline writers will love this bloke. "Anthony deals Knockaert blow" You can bet money on that appearing if he ever scores us a matchwinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Also how is his name pronounced? Nock-airt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamN Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Wait 'till he plays at the KP. Then we'll see how the PA announces his name I often wonder why he doesn't just ask the players how their names pronounced (you only have to hear the way he pronounced 'Kermorgant' to know that he doesn't), instead of just taking a wild stab in the dark. The same should go for commentators, too! Either way, Knockaert is a ridiculous surname, so he should change it to Smith to save us the hassle.

HankMarvin Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Especially if he gets a red card Knock-off The headline writers will love this bloke.

Ashley Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Used to hate how commentators would pronounce Kaamark and zagorakis.......just saying Commentators ALWAYS try to make players names sound fancy or mis pronounce them winds me up! The one that has probably got on my nerves the most is Marco Reus. Commentators during the European Championships were pronouncing it Royce when it's Ray-Us like the town/village near Salou in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucalion Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Anyone remember David Pleat commentating on the LCFC game and trying to take credit for Julian Joachim while not being able to pronounce his name? He was calling him Jo-a-chim. Grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was calling him Jo-a-chim. Grrrr. Pleat does it on purpose I swear. He can sit for 90 minutes whilst the bloke next to him gets his name correct and still he pops up with a mispronunciation.

He was calling him Jo-a-chim. Grrrr. To be fair to Pleat, I don't think any of us say JJ's name right. I think Joachim is a German name, and it's probably pronounced yo-a-kim.

Saxondale Posted 8 August 2012 Share Posted 8 August 2012 Used to hate how commentators would pronounce Kaamark Most people pronounced this wrong anyway. It is properly pronounced 'kormark'. The proper spelling is KÃ¥mark, and the Swedish 'Ã¥' is an 'aw' sound. He just spelt his name with two two 'a's because of the lack of 'Ã¥' in English. PS. Reus = royce. FIFA is wrong.
