Point proven Font wasn't false, well done ITV, chin up Invicta I mean each to their own I suppose. My middle name is Jose. Obviously a very common Portuguese name. But I have never ever heard or known it as 'hosay'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you a few choice swear words in Portuguese if you like to...if there is a time you feel the need to shout at Fonte or Guly from the stands.

LVSaint Posted 29 January, 2011 Share Posted 29 January, 2011 Fonte should be pronounced like this in Portuguese... http://www.forvo.com/word/fonte/ Sorry to be a total bore but that's spoken by a Brazilian dialect/accent as the map shows. It's more of a "font-a" (with a shorter, quieter sound on the 'a') Hopefully cleared that up now. Def not Fontay, but suggest we keep the Fonte-Baby chant the same..I'm sure he'll not mind.

The9 Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 (edited) It is pronounced Fonte. A member met his Mrs once and said it grated on him how we call him Josay Fontay when it's actually Hosay Font if that makes sense Well that's a load of cack, Jose is "Joh-seh" (with or without an accent for some reason) and Fonte "Font" in Portuguese unless it has an accent on the e, in which case it's "Font-ehr". The (incorrect) pronunciation link above also has an accent on Fonte which our Fonte does not have and the accent on the e means that part of the name is stressed (as it is on the link). As he doesn't have an accent on Fonte, you don't pronounce the "e" at all. Mourinho is also "Joh-seh", just for the record. If he was Spanish he'd be "Ho-zay Fon-ter".

Guan 2.0 Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 Does anybody have the email for solent, so we can ask a commentator to ask the player concerned on tuesday? Then we can put this boring guessing game thread to bed. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 Tyldesley is a muppet and a biased one at that. Special praise must go to patronising cvnt Michael Owen as well though. Met him a few months ago - says he prefers Portsmouth these days because he's a good friend of Pardew's and didn't take kindly to his sacking. Quite what it had to do with him, I don't know.

John Boy Saint Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 Back to the thread subject: Whenever you get a streaker or pitch invader the TV will not show them so as not to encourage any other numpties getting ideas of fame in subsequent televised matches. But they show the plum with the flare in the credits at the end of the highlights show!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 30 January, 2011 Share Posted 30 January, 2011 My favourite Clive Tyldesley slip-ups from yesterday: 1. When Morgan Schneiderlin played a great lateral pass and he called him "Morgan Freeman". 2. Every time he tried to say "Danny Butterfield", he ended up saying "Danny Bummerfield". 3. When he said "The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willy". 4. When he split an infinitive early in the second half: "Saints are favourites to definitely get promoted this year". Haha! What a twot! 5. When he stopped commentating for 6 minutes in the first half and there was dead air and then he came back on and "Sorry about that, I had to turn over the tape. I'm just loading up Daley Thompson's Decathlon on the Amstrad to play against Adrian Chiles after this game finishes." 6. When he started swearing after he bit into a really hot apple pie. 7. When he asked Gordon Strachan to tuck his mic pack into his trousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
