Gabriel Jayzeus ?

[Des Parrot]

We're quite an insular lot and not that receptive to using foreign pronunciations, possibly for fear of sounding pretentious. I know it took me a while to get used to saying A(y)ax Amsterdam as it is correctly spoken and not Ajax as in the cleaning product. Every day's a school day Sludge.

Day by day my Polish is improving but I had to throw away my concept of the English alphabet before I started to get it. J is also pronounced like a Y in Polish, I think Rz is the closest to a J

Gabriel Rzazeus?

[Moodybluebird]

Wtf is up with these pathetic bbc commentators ?

His name is Jesus



It's not some mind your language speak proper cause at the local community college

Stupid cocks

Also it's a bit greedy having TWO biblical names, much like Ben Amos.

Having said that, having a midfield of Noah Magdalene, Moses Iscariot and Abel Cain would be quite cool.

The game would probably be cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

No that’s far too easy. I’ll take some advice & get back to you! There’s no strong G in Polish for starters

In the event of a flood our formation would have to change to 2 by 2 presumably.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

In Spanish it’s Hay-zeus
In Portuguese it’s Jay-zeus

The Portuguese 'J' pronounced like the 's' in the word 'pleasure'.

[ryder bluebird]

It's Shay-seus in Portuguese, like wat they speek in Brazil where he comes from, and Hay-Seus in Spanish.

But regardless of the pronunciation, watching the PSV-Arsenal game on the tele on Thursday the text at the top of the screen was saying during one attack "...and he's looking for Jesus...And he's found Jesus".

Just nice to think that he's been saved however his name is pronounced.

If only the noise coming out of the BBC commentators gob was anywhere near what you describe in your first few lines 😉.......

[UNDERHILL1927]

I think a little word in these commentators shell likes would help make them sound less like cocks

Haha I do love how upset you get about things like this. Almost as bad as TIT and OJO

I can’t speak Welsh sadly. My school thought it pertinent to teach me French. Pointless.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Fair play, this is the most pathetic thread I've seen on here in a long time. We should pronounce people's names correctly. As a Davies, it does my nut in to be called Dayvees. Portuguese is not spanish and it does not sound like spanish.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

In Spanish, it would be pronounced "Hay-Seus", probably in Portuguese too.
I thought there was more culture in Cowbridge?

Portuguese is very different. We should pronounce Neves as Nevsh, Pepe is Pep, Diego Jot, Bruno Fernandsh etc. The Portuguese players did a video on it.

Mick Channon during Mexico 86, calling Lineker Lineacre 😂

Christ yes , he had a tractor driving accent

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Portsmouth's player in the 70's: name was Trebilcock but the commentators pronounced it (and possibly correctly for all I know) "Trebilko".

There’s a Tosser who plays for England who the commentators incorrectly pronounce Grealish.

It could be worse, like the co-commentator on CityTV that used to always talk about American sports and refer to Colwill as "Coalwell".

I think he's been binned off this year though...much like Rubin 😁

Famous Everton player was Mike Trebilcock, scored two in the 1966 Cup Final win against Sheffield Wednesday.
Although it’s a Cornish name apparently he has family in Tremorfa, their name is always pronounced, rightly or wrongly, as it’s spelt with ‘cock’ the last syllable.

I want you on my pub quiz team Mr P. Your football history knowledge is a thing of beauty and to be celebrated with a jackpot of which I'm willing to give you 25% (overheads and the cost of living crisis I'm afraid).
