And the one trying to say Joshua in some weird accent in the Bayern game and completely destroying it. "Ossuar" or something it came out like.

ESPN's Derek Rae would like a word with both of you.....They're not English players, so you don't pronounce them the English way.  The commentator is saying it correctly.....Stop being an ignoramus.

No need for the insults thanks.  I'm sure we're all well aware the names aren't English and that's our exact point. We're discussing English pundits destroying names thinking they're being clever. No idea who the ESPN guy is but maybe he actually learned them and is pronouncing them correctly so good on him. The ones over here don't seem so bothered about that considering it's their actual job, some of them assume a half-arsed version of nonsense with a hammy accent for full Brit abroad effect will do.

What a fuckin disgrace that shitbag Ratboy c*nt Neville is asking for Claattenberg to resign on live television.  Here’s a better idea Gary, why don’t you resign you horrible opinionated c*nt and take some of your mates from PGMOL with you.

Speaking in that annoying, po-faced manner of his like his opinion is the only one that matters. Like his beloved Ferguson never questioned the integrity of the officials whenever it suited him.

That high-handed voice he does when he's making a Very Serious Point reminds me of Pauline from The League of Gentlemen.

Would have been great if someone reminded him of that on air

It’s how I imagine Big Brain Arteta speaks too.

Carra and Neville have become like Punch & Judy these days.

They were good when they first began on Sky breaking down tactics and having in depth discussions about things that actually mattered.

Just a couple of shite cheerleaders now for the banter generation

Absolute the best description I've heard of them. Especially Carragher. Long gone are the days of actual discussion, it's just back and forth p*ss taking now. They went down the social media soundbite route a while ago and only getting worse.

I find Derek Rae well annoying with his Germanism shite and a little patronizing but hey Die Toten Hosen as they say in Dusseldorf !

Me too. I speak fluent German, have done for years and his continued showing off (if that’s what it is?) is very irritating. My German mates and I could put up with his shite if didn’t over exaggerate so much. Just speak to your audience you c*nt.
