We will most likely be signing a captain, because well, that's exactly what we need to do. Worked out last season for us didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to get a lot of abuse and hate, which is odd considering how much worse in both ability and attitude the majority of the squad is. That may be because he happens to be "around" a lot when we get scored on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2016 If we're going to get bought, and we've got a significant amount to spend, and we've identified two good central defenders who can realistically come in and improve the defence, I have no problem selling Clark. But if we're going to sell him and then end up having to play Lescott or Richards every week, then I won't be happy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I'd keep Clark and Baker in the squad and add a new first choice CB pairing, if we can find the suitable players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 As it isn't hard enough to remember how to spell Ciaran Clark(e)'s name, UEFA has put out a guide how to pronounce the names of every player in the upcoming Euros. Apparently Ciaran is pronounced Key-ranace Can honestly say i did not know this "As you can see, UEFA have also taken time to provide diacritic assistance for those struggling to sort their umlauts from their inverted breves, which is jolly nice of them. However, before it was amended, they did make a bit of a hash of the largely straightforward Republic of Ireland section…" http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/euro-2016/238799/uefa-produce-handy-guide-to-pronouncing-every-euro-2016-players-name-correctly.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Key-ranace Cliarakee I like it! It's catchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Well, they tried, at least. There's still some visible HTML code left in the article directly after the Ireland section - and the next section starts with 'A c'. I find it a bit odd, though, that it's fairly obvious that they've tried to use the original spellings, including various umlauts, accents and any other diacritics - and then substituted the Icelandic eth (ð) with a plain old 'd' in Haukur Heiðar Hauksson - and the suggested pronunciation makes me think of the unvoiced thorn (þ). Oh, and @sne and any other Swedes on here: Källström – Shell-strome? Really? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIVillan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think Ciaran would do a job in the Championship and that we might as well save money for buying an upgrade if/when we get promoted. No use paying out now for someone who would not be of required standard in a years time and having to buy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 7 hours ago, osmark86 said: really #hopefulswede Then I stand corrected (even though I'm not wearing orthopaedic shoes...) Very, very OT: Being Norwegian, I'm obviously no expert on Swedish pronunciation (and the finer aspects of the various dialects), but I've always thought that the first part of 'Källstrom' would be pronounced in the same way as 'källa', 'kär' and 'käpp'. No 's' sibilant (skär, skälla?) involved whatsoever, as the 'shell' would suggest. Hopefully, you won't be afflicted with the current Norwegian youth fad - not bothering to differentiate between the 'sj/skj' and 'kj' sounds. There's a vast difference between going to the jeweller's in order to buy a silver 'kjede' (chain) for your girlfriend, and then asking for a silver 'skjede' (sheath / vagina). And then just imagine her asking asking all and sundry to have a look at it? And to all non-Scandinavians on here: I apologize once again for going wildly off topic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
