Indeed!

I can totally relate. Mine is paired with a French surname, so you can imagine how well that goes when other people try to write it.

I’ve just caught up with the first episode. Very enjoyable and I will be listening again, but one point of order: your parents spelt your name that way because they are legends, not because they hate you.

The inclusion of ‘proverb’ here feels like bait.

I blame Cyril Knowles for this BTW.

Can I throw Son into the mix here? I think basically every Spurs pod has at least one person who pronounces it to rhyme with ‘sun’ rather than ‘on’. Drives me to distraction!

Just incredible.

Thanks for this. I’m a relative newcomer to the pod but it’s one of the first I listen to now. Feel like your measured, non-knee-jerk takes are helping me to stay sane despite the mess we’re in at the moment.

I watched them in the last round. I don’t think it’s so much about the pitch - Tonks just has a lethal throw-in.

We’re flirting heavily with the phrase “whoever smelt it dealt it” here.

It’s mad how these things stick in the memory. I know exactly where I was when Klinsmann scored that goal, even though I was a teenager just hanging out in town. I was in Our Price (RIP) in St Albans, listening to the radio on one headphone at that exact moment. Glorious.
