Essruu Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 You've a prat with a bell, A prat with a be-ll, We've got our Pele, Who we pronounce Pell. Apart from the lyrics being she-ite, his name is not pronounced 'Pell', either; it's pronounced 'Pellla' with a long 'L'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andoru Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 Apart from the lyrics being she-ite, his name is not pronounced 'Pell', either; it's pronounced 'Pellla' with a long 'L'. I think it's pronounced a bit like 'fella' but the 'e' at the end should be like the 'e' in words like 'bed' or 'pen'. Something like that. Note that I'm not an Italian speaker, I just read the IPA of his name on Wikipedia. Some kind of song with 'fella' then (e.g. "He's a jolly good Pelle …" but better).

CWD Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 Not sure if already posted but just stumbled across a great Pelle interview... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnkFfPUxf5o Haha loving the Jeremy Paxman style of interview! Would be nice to see that in this country a bit more, rather than the constant pandering of the media to managers and players. GP did well with his responses though.

Alain Perrin Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 Apart from the lyrics being she-ite, his name is not pronounced 'Pell', either; it's pronounced 'Pellla' with a long 'L'. Thanks for destroying my nascent dreams of being a lyricist. I am really hurt by your opinion..... Stadium announcer and also one of the highlights I watched on Saturday pronounced it as "Pell". Noting the stadium announcer also mixed up Wanyama and Mayuka so may not be the best point of reference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Mullet Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 I love the headed goal - he looks like a man against Geordie boys. After the Bayer game I felt he would struggle to score 10 this season. I love that he's going to prove me wrong. Very impressed with Koeman.

david in sweden Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 So we have played more long balls than any other team? Perhaps not, but lets not pretend this stat all of a sudden makes him a useful player in the first couple of games. ........ah ...you were saying ?

broncoboy Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 Very pleased for him and us. I am getting a little tired of some of the w*****s on here writing off players and ostensibly a new team Thank god we have you around to put everybody right with your natural talent to identify which players are going to do well In that first game Pelle played like a ****. Thankfully he played well on Saturday but lets see how he gets on up against some of the big boys. As you point out it takes time to gel. Well we shall see about Pelle.

sadoldgit Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 He's a new signing, he has to earn my approval not get given it by default. Same with all of the new players, except Mane because he has the best name ever so is my favourite player. With all due respect Pastor, I shouldnt think he gives a flying one about your approval. It is the boss he needs to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 Apart from the lyrics being she-ite, his name is not pronounced 'Pell', either; it's pronounced 'Pellla' with a long 'L'. It isn't pronounced Pell la. There isn't an "a" on the end. As far as I know, it's pronounced Pell le, the le as in left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 15 September, 2014 Share Posted 15 September, 2014 It isn't pronounced Pell la. There isn't an "a" on the end. As far as I know, it's pronounced Pell le, the le as in left. Vindicated. There is an accent on the end "e", so... Look at ‘caffè‘ and ‘ragù‘. Because these are two syllable words you would normally expect to say ‘CAF/fe’, and RAH/gu, but the accent changes the stress in the word so that the stress is on the final syllable, where the accent is, so you say ‘caf/FE‘, and rah/GU. There is a tendency for English speakers to sound the accented ‘e’ in Italian like the ‘é’ in French and give it the ‘a’ sound in ‘yay’. This is incorrect. If you are using an Italian word, sound the ‘e’, whether accented or not, as in ‘egg’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 Such a player, when you look for a player to play the role he's occupying....you look for all the attributes he has. Strength, mobility, a bit of pace off the ground, technical ability, assured touch, good head, good brain. Good hair He's just got everything you'd want for a player leading the line. At £8m we did one hell of a deal there. But at the end of the day, a goal scorer is a goal scorer. Leauge 1, NPC, Erendivse, La Liga. If they're as prolific as Pelle and Lambert, they'll score goals at any level given the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch01 Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 Looks like I got this one very very wrong. Didn't hold high hopes when he signed, didn't like the look of him when I saw him vs WBA. Had heard he performed well in the next few and when I got to see him at the Emirates I was very impressed. That goal this afternoon confirms that I was way off in my initial assessment of him, and I'm delighted to be so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 27 September, 2014 Share Posted 27 September, 2014 I must admit that.
