Which common - or not so common - mispronunciations of footballers names (or anything football related) do you find the most annoying?
There are a couple that I've had to suffer through repeatedly from a guy at work because I'm too polite to say "It's pronounced 'x' móng.'
These are:
Gündoğan - He pronounces it: Gun-dog-gan
Bundesliga - He pronounces it; Bung-led-isia
The most annoying one I ever heard was years ago in the Premier League when a commentator - I forget which - spent the entire game calling Paul Scholes 'Paul Shoals'
At the minute I am tolerating mispronunciations of Daley Blind, but I imagine my patience will wear thin on that soon; especially if he moves to the Premier League...

The one which gets me is on FIFA14, Martin Tyler pronounces Fellaini's name different to how he does normally. I don't know which is right (maybe neither!), but at least stick to one

Same with Aubameyang... In one of the recordings he says it Ow-Bama-yang and another he says Ooba-mayang.

Fellaini's is a pretty difficult name to pronounce tbf. I sometimes find myself pronouncing it "you-fecking-useless-lump-of-s'hite"

Not quite a mispronunciation but a classic from the great sir Bobby Robson.
Journalist - Shola, do you have a nickname at the club?
Not really no.
Journalist: What do the lads you?
Shola.
Journalist: What does [manager] Bobby Robson call you?
Carl Cort.

The worst was Barry Davis, he would purposely pronounce names wrong to try and sound intellectual, his worst pronunciation was Solskjaer which he would pronounce Solsh-arh-ay.
