Why can't anyone get Shamone Boomerang's name right? Christ, he played left back at the WC and was our first summer signing!

You lot are just too childish for words. Getting people's names right is simply about showing respect for the players.

Thanks to Snood, for the original post, and to Slittsy for his helpful checklist of common errors.

Thank Christ we havent got Khalid Bhoularouz, Jean Beausejour or Jussi Jaaskelainen!!!

Oh for the days of Andy Hill & Michael Ball.

Maybe we should introduce a new transfer policy of only signing players whose names we can spell.
Or a maximum syllable quota. 25 man squad can have a maximum of 60 syllables in the surnames.
