I can remember Fletch only being on FF once this season- which has been a surprise
He's desperately hanging on because of his prediction that we would finish above Sunderland would come true.. it could still happen!I can remember Fletch only being on FF once this season- which has been a surprise
I think what’s happened is Matt has got now a massive panel of guests. That he has to get round them all.I can remember Fletch only being on FF once this season- which has been a surprise
My earbuds move on 30 seconds when I double tap them. This feature is invaluable when Pete is on. He can make good points but he just takes so long to make them.I listen to FF but my god Pete Blackburn is an abolsute bore. He thinks he’s far more nuanced than he is. I’ll still listen but sometimes I’ll far forward him
Mark Southerns is ace. His stats are fascinating and bring a new angle to everything. Of course stats aren’t everything but it’s really interesting to listen to.My earbuds move on 30 seconds when I double tap them. This feature is invaluable when Pete is on.

For me Mark Sutherns is the best contributor they have on by far.
New podcast from forest focus and I can't help but feel our two biggest forest specific media men are just giant oafs LOL Matt every episode somehow finds any possible angle to be self-deprecating and Tails never usually having a forest insider scoop for the Athletic. I enjoy the 2, nonetheless.
Yeah I kinda twitched at Tails saying Taiwo's name the way he does.It really annoys me that someone covering the club cannot pronounce some of its player's names. Who the f*** are 'Tay-woh' and 'San-gair'? Daniel Storey does it too with 'Mureeyo' as he's clearly confused the double L in Murillo's name as how it would be pronounced in Spanish, not Portuguese.
It's mildly trivial but still winds me up. Unless everyone is wrong and he's right of course.
It's always been like this. Way back, Geoffrey Green, in the days when we were determinedly English, always pronounced Milan as "Meelan" (with emphasis) just to show how international he was.It really annoys me that someone covering the club cannot pronounce some of its player's names.

James Richardson, when presenting Football Italia on Channel 4, always did likewise - it was always „Meelan“ (whereas in Italian of course, the city is „Milano“).It's always been like this.

Murray said a lot of things to be fair, not all of them accurate!Remember when Murray Walker went from saying “Air Ton Senna” to saying “Aye, Air Ton Senna”?
Like someone had a word over the winter and he was trying to make up for it.
Hear hear. No excuse for getting Murillo's name wrong after all this time.It really annoys me that someone covering the club cannot pronounce some of its player's names.

Also, he's a journalist, i thought they listened to the players pronouncing their names thing they do each season -Hear hear. No excuse for getting Murillo's name wrong after all this time.

'Meelan' is the way that the club is pronounced in Italian, it wasn't Green or Richardson being pretentious or trying to sound clever. Obviously the city is Milano but that isn't the name of the club and the long e is the sound that the i gives.James Richardson, when presenting Football Italia on Channel 4, always did likewise - it was always „Meelan“ (whereas in Italian of course, the city is „Milano“).
Used to love watching Football Italia as a lad
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooolazzo!!!
What does make it sound a bit pretentious is that Geoffrey would say Vienna or Budapest in the English way. I'm talking about the 50s when Wolves v Honved was a great talking point (it was on TV!) and was, essentially, the start of the European football tournaments we know today. So we were Euro virgins, having been stuffed twice by the Hungarians and just beginning to realise that there was more to football than the Home Internationals.'Meelan' is the way that the club is pronounced in Italian, it wasn't Green or Richardson being pretentious or trying to sound clever.
