Why does Clive Tyldseley

[Craig_H]

Nah, he wasnt into boys. He liked woman and was rich.

Allegedly.

[TheStig]

Why does no other commentator pronounce it like a girl's name?

I don't know, but you are supposed to pronounce it like he does!

[Craig_H]

It sounds ****.

[rodo]

believe it or not he used to cover all our games for radio city before he moved to the tele

[Joe King]

Bring back Barry Davies

I don't mind Tyldseley, even if he is a Manc. He gets excited (or becomes louder) when goals are scored and stuff happens no matter who's playing, which is a positive in my eyes for whatever reason. Him and Beglin somehow work together and don't irritate me

Besides, if they changed, CL games just wouldn't feel right. They should definitely use Pleat more though, who is a living legend

I think he is awful, he is patronising and idiotic and full of ****.

[Neil Young]

I think he is awful, he is patronising and idiotic and full of ****.

Who? Pleat?

Tyldesley and Beglin are dreadful. Unlistenable.

[Jaymo]

I find David Pleat more annoying, with his "Bennanoon" and "Inanesta"

[Rich]

Pleat amuses me, the rest on ITV are utter, utter ****e,

Teddy Sheringham?! Please! More personality and insight in an empty tub of margarine.

Because Anelka is French. You can either pronounce his name as it's written (to the eyes of an anglophone) or as he himself pronounces it. I don't think there's a law saying it has to be one way and not the other.

I don't see the problem.

Exactly. In French we never pronounce the 's', it's 'Nicola'.

[Guest]

Why do such things annoy people so much?

Was thinking the same thing.

[Fivex]

I don't know, but you are supposed to pronounce it like he does!

But, it's not like you ever hear a foreign commentator pronouncing Harry Redknapp in a cockney accent, or Jamie Carragher in his best scouse, now is it?

This stuff irritates me as well. When an English team plays Valencia we aren't playing "Balenthia" all of a suddon are we? Bit of consistancy is what I'm after, if I wanted to listen to a match with a foreign accent I'd load a stream up on the PC ffs!!

[Fivex]

Exactly. In French we never pronounce the 's', it's 'Nicola'.

Our country Fred, our rules

Would Clive call Paris, Paree
