Who you talking about? Not Wes, Sam or Macauley I hope. Finidi? Not Shefki surely! | |

That’s a good point actually, some footballers are more known via their first name! Finidi a very good example. | |

Yes, but the other bloke's bacon sarnie. Honestly, if Milliband could eat a breakfast competently this country might not be the sh1tshower of thinly veiled intolerance, corruption and masochism that it is. [Post edited 13 Apr 2022 8:29]

Opposite for me. When people refer to 'Mr Evans' or 'Mr Lambert' - pretending to show false respect and then proceeding to slate them mercililessly ( albeit justifiably). | |

That's just some of our older fans isn't it? Brought up in a different era. | |

Few things make me cringe more on 08:25 - Apr 13 with 791 views | Guthrum | Depends upon how it's said. If all the emphasis is upon the first letter, it can carry a real note of disdain. Moreover, calling him by his surname alone invokes the image of a sensible and trustworthy politician, rather than an errant child. [Post edited 13 Apr 2022 8:27]

It's been a while since we had a Big Lebowski quote on the forum, isn't it? I cut off your Johnson... | |

Few things make me cringe more on 09:18 - Apr 13 with 719 views | dickie | Especially as his first name is actually Alexander. I'd rather disrespect his decision to be recognised by his middle name and call him Al (he can call me Betty - he is pretty soft in the middle) | | | |

Few things make me cringe more on 09:33 - Apr 13 with 664 views | Churchman | You make a good point. I generally call our alleged PM by his surname, though I always call Kuqi Shefki. What really grinds my gears is calling people by their nicknames. Nors…. I don’t know James Norwood or wish to, so why would I use the term Nors? Becks, Lamps, Jezza Grrrr. The exceptions I can think of is Bart for Bialkowski and that’s because his surname is a right mouthful that I can’t spell without looking it up. | | | |

Sorry. I wasn't suggesting Viljoen, it was Warnock I was referring to; and having fun at the expense of a christian name concocted from an anagram to form a nickname. | |

I assumed you were referring to Warnock. I was just thinking of a few more. I don’t remember the crowd referring to Viljoen by anything really, though I seem to remember the players or manager called him Ace. Derek Jefferson was called Chopper, though that was more a description of his on field activities. | | | |
