His name pronouncing was shocking, kept on saying Dias like it was spelt Diash

Sounds like Schteve McLaren

I think some of you need to get over a commentator making an effort to pronounce the players' names correctly.

Yep, when everybody pronounces "pewma" for our kit brand, cringey.

I hope Peter Walton _________. Fill in the gap with a single word.

I don't personally think he crossed a line. As long as the name's are pronounced correctly and he's consistent with every player doing that then I can just write it off as a commentator that doesn't like and/or agree with anglicising pronunciations of names.

It's only pretentious when you put on a fake accent (which he didn't) or say it incorrectly (which he didn't). I pointed out in the match thread Danny Murphy pronounces Cancelo as Canchelo and then just my luck he's on MOTD last night and he does it again. That's where my line is crossed.

It was slightly amusing.
The strange thing was that after Cancelo was subbed he referred to him with the English pronunciation.

He will decompose at some point.

What a fucking stupid thing to say 'available left backs out there'. This is not fantasy footy.

Not stupid in any way. Pep knew Cancelo would be a huge upgrade to Danilo so he bought him. The same thing will happen with Zinchenko. He’s only still around because he refuse to go. Zinch is not a world beater in leftback position. If you can’t see that, then I can’t help you. He’s our weak link in defence along with Mendy. The rest of the backline are all world class.

I thought the commentator went way over the line, he sounded like the Alan Partridge of commentators. Sounded like he was taking the piss.

At first I couldn't believe my ears, then I thought it was just hilarious and finally wondered why they'd fished officer Crabtree up to commentate.

And we beat those terrorist bastards into the ground already, didn't we?
