Anyone else annoyed by how he always calls Hladky "Hladaky"? I think it's pretty poor that he's been given the commentary job and he can't get our own players' names right!

Personally I think Matt Holland was always much better than Westy when he was on comms before.

I think Westy's really good at it. Enjoy his insights

There are so many people that find it hard to pronounce his name, including the guy on TownTV that gets the players to do the Three Words or Less. It's really not that hard to pronounce. H Lad Ky

In Czech, the Hl- sounds more like an r.

Now that’s an idea! Nobody ever asked Hreiðarsson, or for that matter Noublé.

I occasionally asked a Dutchman how to pronounce Reuser and he gave me a different answer every time.

I always pronounced Sone as Sunny, in Aluko's case.. We now know it's pronounced "Shornay"... If you don't know, you don't know..

I don't dislike Westlake, I do think he's quite good, if verging on a little biased at times. I think he's good in the sense that he is clearly as enthusiastic as a fan while having played the game. I think Holland was always a better commentator analysis-wise though. Just my opinion 🙂
