Pronouncing Bernabeu as "Berna-bay-ew" instead of "Berna--bow" ?

The US Bur-Nard instead of Bernud really yanks my crank too, not that that's relevant.

That's how it should always be pronounced. It's a Spanish name.

Seeing as we're on the subject of using the proper (local) names/pronunciations for things, I need to get Bayern Munich off my chest.

Absolute b*gger's muddle of a name. Surely it should be either Bayern München, or Bavaria Munich, no?

Bring back proper pronunciations!

Nestles is Nestles, not Nestlay!!
Boudicca is pronounced Bowdecia
Arsenal player Jesus is Jesus, not Jaysouse

Tut.

A bit like that Austrian terminator chap. People have got his name very wrong for years.

It’s Byurn Mewnick, Cologne is Collown, not Kelner (Koln with the little dots above the o that should be banned).

York, by the way, needs one of its old names back. Either Eboracum the football club could become the Eboracum Romans. Alternatively Eoforwic. The club could then be called Eoforwic Saxons.

Far more impressive than boring old York City (lovely place btw), but if you are going to keep the Viking version, return it to Jorvik and call the team the Jorvik Plunderers.

On that basis welcome to the Premier League…Gippswyk Town!!!

Apologies if I’ve butchered the spelling of Gippswyk!

Great idea. Let’s cheer on the Gippeswic East Angles with the nickname Raedwald’s Raiders! The badge could feature the helmet found at Sutton Hoo!
