Yeah. For example, they pronounce Weinstein wine-steen, when in German it would be vine-stine. I pronounce it scum-bag, by the way...

Should it even possibly be vine-shtine? 
Isn’t the ST in German pronounced SHT?

You know what, I nearly put the h in there but have a feeling the sh is a regional thing

It's a Steve McLaren thing isn't it?

(Yes, I know that was Dutch, but the languages have some similarities).

I think it’s a syllable thing. If the ST is at the beginning of a word or a syllable within a word, it’s pronounced SHT. 
Same as SP, as in SPIEL, which would be pronounced SHPEEL of course. 
 

So Harvey Weinstein should indeed be Harvey Vine-schtine. Or, as duly corrected, sex fiend! 
 

Interestingly, the other sex case, Epstein, is often called Ep-steen, but should of course be Ep-shtine, although I believe Mr Corbyn was accused of being an anti-Semite for pronouncing it that way.

We just won 2.0 away, top of the league,well 2nd, would have thought there were more pressing issues, that's all. I know its a woman thing, but you know what they are like on here, the debate could go on for ever, and still get it wrong, you have created a monster!

We don't have any issues with pressing. Watch the tape. :laugh:

It's important to get it right, I suspect we'll be hearing a lot about this lad, given the promise shown so far.

And some of the replies to this are a bit snarky - c'mon, folk, it's @Dollymarie who is utterly angelic and flawless

Not sure I’ve been angelic since about the mid 90’s! :rofl2br:

Things are really going to get confusing when Nathan Backer is bake from injury

Can see Backer only being bacup for the baak 3 when he is bake from injury though.

P.S. Imagine if we had Bobby Robson as manager with all these players’ names!

Reporter to Newcastle's Shola Ameobi: "Do you have a nickname?"
Ameobi: "No, not really"
Reporter: "So what does Bobby Robson call you?"
Ameobi: "Carl Cort."
