Pedro Porro0

This one makes sense btw as when he started they also have David Silva. Plus Portuguese/Brazilian names are a bit exempt as they tend to be a shortened version alreadyLincsaddick said:Bernardo Silva1 -
To say Alfie May is correct as 'May' on its own is a modal verb and can lead to confusion ✅
To Say Ben White is correct as not only is his name only two syllables but 'White' on its own is a noun or if you say white bread, an adjective.✅
To say Pedro Porro is alliteration and rolls off the tongue. ✅
To say Soapbox Sam soars like a salmon to score sublimely is Sibilance and poetry to my ears✅
To just say 'Fred' is wrong when the ex Man united plays name is Frederico Rodrigues de Paula Santos.
Pele he ain't ❌

Don’t mind that but it does annoy me when people just use the first name e.g. ’Trent’. I can never understand why Charlton fans say ’Roland’ , like he’s our old friendly pal.killerandflash said:Or by their first and half their surname, e.g. Trent Alexander or Cory Blackett (hello Curbs!)1 -
Harry Clarke for some reason:

Dan Burn definitely, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and I feel like every time they mention Rafa Leao it's the full name1

Lamine Yamal. Though I note that young Yamal has both names on the back of his shirt. Perhaps the powers that be have recognised they can charge people twice as much to get both names done. I'm surprised they haven't gone for the full, Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana.

When Norway played Brazil, my daughter came in and asked who some of the players were and I said “That’s Oscar Bobb. They always call him by both names. Just listen, the commentator will say the full “Oscar Bobb” every time.”The Red Robin said:Oscar Bobb
There then followed a period of about 5 minutes where the commentator called him simply “Bobb” about 10 times.
My daughter left the room thinking I’m an idiot, and the commentator immediately reverted to saying “Oscar Bobb”.
As if I didn’t hate commentators enough. 😂10 -
Newsflash for you, Lord Romford: she very probably came into the room thinking you're an idiot.lordromford said:
