English commentators are known for butchering names, they say Vermaelen as in Vermaulen.

Yeah, I've noticed it.

Also, english people in general suck at learning and pronouncing other languages.

Yeah, I find it pretty fun to try and pronounce every name right, we have some difficult names in the Belgian league. :lol:

Apparently lots of people in England are mispronouncing his name. Not just the "Az - Ath" part, but they also mix around the sialbles and letters and call him weird stuff like Ath-pi-ki-leta, Ath-li-pi-keta, etc.

Those long basque names ^^


Awsome name imo :P

I can confirm that. And still we're taking points while playing bad even a point ahead of City who are playing pretty good last games, and only 2 past Arsenal who have been amazing since the beggining of the season. My point is we can still improve and we're in good position in the table for the moment that we will come on streak. Very important match next weekend, Arsenal will be like bleeding bull after the humiliation today...

Because we know inside ourselves that are language is the only one worth learning.
