"As far as Brighton are concerned, but very quickly"

I wish MOTD would get away from analysing why the established clubs lost, rather than why the other won.

That said not as bad as Leicester Brighton game where neither the presenter or the analyst said the word "Brighton" once,

Fascinating. Well, that's putting it kindly.


I take it you're tired and have had a few.....either that or you're on a mission to overload the internet with.......whatever it is you're trying to overload it with. I recommend giving up, but that's up to you...................................

Nah, just a lighthearted response to your never ending love in for an ex player, long gone... and your incessant cantankerousness 😉

Japanese words are split into syllables with equal stress on each of them. The syllables in Kaoru are Ka-o-ru, pronounced “Ka” as in “carrots” “o” as in “hot” and “Ru as “rhubarb (but truncated)”. The hard bit is linking “ka” with “o” because it’s not natural to English speakers. And putting equal stress on all three isn’t easy either.
Good summary. Grinds my gears hearing all the English speakers in the squad call him KaROO. All the other language speakers pronounce his name properly.

I’m now questioning my own pronunciation of Kaoru Mitoma
I seem to pronounce it differently to Guy Mowbray, who says “Kay-or-roo”
Whereas I’ve always believed to be “Kaw-ru”
It's definitely not Kay-or-roo. Best way I can describe it phonetically for British pronunciation is Cow-ru, 🐮 which I think might have been what you meant by Kaw?
