Incorrect spelling of player names

[biscuitbeck]

I have had enough. It is not Erikson, or Erikssen, or Eriksson, it is ERIKSEN. It is not Saldado, it is SOLDADO. For goodness sake it is not Norton, it is NAUGHTON. You support the club, the names are on the back of the shirts. How hard is it to spell the players' names right?

This angers me so much. We do not have a player called Verthongen, or Kabul, or Loris. We do have players called Vertonghen, Kaboul, and Lloris.

For the love of mankind, would you please just spell them correctly?

Thanks xo

Some of them can be forgiven, like when we first signed Pavlyuchenko (yes I did Google that) I couldn't spell his name correctly so just called him Pav.

 

[Azazello]

It always used to bug me when people spelt Zakora's name incorrectly.

 

[RickyVilla]

But that new manager Cherwood is pretty good.

I think we can make allowances if the name is long and Russian

Lamella...Zakora...Gomez....Kancjar.

To a certain extent I actually find it disrespectful from fans that can't be bothered to learn how to spell the names of our own players. It also makes me question their level of support.

It's not about grammatical skills...these are literally names we see every week on the screen, in match day programmes, on the back of the shirts, and countless times on forums like this.

Yeah but he keeps misspelling Lamela on the team sheet

Wait until we sign Sokratis Papasthathopoulos.

Shall we have a competition to see who can spell Gylfi's surname without resorting to google

 

[Kingstheman]

Verthongen.

Wahey!

I spell it Vertongen as I spelled it incorrectly once, now it always does it on my phone.

 

[absolute bobbins]

He does have the immense dimensions to do that but he seems to think Lamela is spelt Lennon, I can see how he got it wrong but he must try harder with his spellings and shit

 

[SandroClegane]

Verthongen.

neither of those are right. it's vertonghen

 

[sbrustad]

With a capital V if we're being pedantic.

Sigurdsson?
*Checking on google*

Oh, he has that Icelandic d-thing-

Some years back, I was convinced that Luka's name was Mdoric. I was in fact so convinced, that when I noticed more and more often a certain Modric reigning in PL, I googled to check whether he had changed his name to make it easier to grasp. I laughed at non-Spurs supporters for talking about this "Modric being that good" an all. So when we sold him, I had to reconcile with the fact that his name, sadly wasn't Mdoric. But Sheyi's name, that I can handle.

I think umlauts and accents can be forgiven, as I'm sure 99% of people in England won't know the alternative key codes.

I can never forgive a scouse accent.

The only one that bothers me is "Friedal".
