On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang!
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Ning Nang Nong!
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning!
Trees go Ping!
Nong Ning Nang!
The mice go clang!
What a noisy place to belong,
Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!
I prefer Kite and I am going to stick with that. He's still a bloody good player mind.
nothing personal but if he himself says his name is pronounced kowt,
WHY THE **** WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO CALL HIM SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF YOU CALL HIM KOIT OR KITE YOUR NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PERSON FFS .CHRIST ON A BIKE

the point is mate that if you say "kowt" in the normal manner of english syllables your no nearer pronouncing it correctly than if you said "kite"
to pronounce dutch, flemish or danish etc.. you need to make some completely differrent sounds than exist in any english word
Derek Kowt according to the big man himself. FACT.
Thank God he`s even harder to mark than pronounce
' He has football in his blood ' said a scout who was trying sell a player to Liverpool. ' You may be right ' Shanks said, ' but it hasn't reached his legs yet '
theres no direct way to describe the pronunciation using english syllables
"Deeeerk" (an elongated version of the english i) "ccchhhh" (ilongated like you were gonna spit) - ouwyt with a weirrd blending of the w and y that no english word contains.
the ending is very similar to the correct pronunciation of molby and hysen which led to some people thinking it was glen "hussein"!
Does it matter how we say it? It'll be pronunced Coy-t and he'll get used to it. Same as Sami has ,as his name should be pronounced Hoopia and who can forget Martin Offiah pronounced O'fire.
Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body.
I think he understands the difficulty his name's pronunciation poses for English-speakers, he doesn't really seem too bothered about people getting his name wrong so I suppose it doesn't matter that much. But we have a long time until our next game so we've got to talk about something!
