I used to sit behind some American guy in the PL years. We played Rochdale in the FA Cup, the following week he said "Hey buddy, did you go to the Roashdale game?" And for me, that's how it should always be pronounced.
Ward is booked. They have a free kick. Rafferty is running down the wing but ignored, free kick goes long to Inman, to Hart on the edge of the box, held up, holds it, goes down the wing, Reeves tackles, they get a throw.
Steer has it, to Pearce, to Cullen, to Solly, to Grant, gives it away to Dooley, who finds... nobody cos Reeves wins it, we go forward and Rathbone is being booked for a bad, cynical foul!
They go long, we break them down. Cullen to Taylor, but Rafferty gets it and clears. Grant now, forced back by Henderson who wins it. Down the line, Pratley makes a good challenge. Ball out left to Solly, up to Aribo but Rathbone solves that mystery for Dale.
Cullen to Solly, to Pearce, to Ward, headed away and they break but we win it back, Cullen fouled, free kick outside our own box. Pearce to Aribo, to Pearce, long to Taylor, to Grant, cleared, Dooley gets it, on the right to Rafferty, Solly holds him, Rathbone gets it. To Hart, Reeves blocks, deflects the cross, Pratley heads behind.

Scratch that. Bielick off. A decent player but ongoing problems with cramp. Hopefully Cullen has switched to defensive midfield.
Vetekele on for Grant sooner rather than later.
Long diagnal ball, Dooley forced back, tackled by Taylor for a throw, near our area. It's windy there. A warm wind, they say.
Camps has it, cleared by Solly, chipped to wards the box, Pearce gets it and its a goal kick. No, I don't follow that either.
