just read a tweet that apparently our new stadium will be called "The Nike Stadium", with Nike paying for it, in the world's biggest sponsorship deal. Really?!
Like. I have nightmares about it being name "Durex Stadium" on the "Wonga-used-to-be-white-hart-lane stadium" or some bollocks. Nike is very inoffensive, also goddess of victory and from the statues - quite fit.
Slight problem, it'll be referred to as the Pikey Stadium by large numbers of Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham fans.
Oh, do people still call it "Nikey". I know its the correct pronounciation but i though everyone went back to "Nike" after a brief fling with "Nikey"
Dated a Greek! so I take it you found out how to say it as you used your new trainers to escape from her brothers. Anyway I am married to a Greek and I can tell you that the Greek pronounciation is Neege (using the nearest equivelant English letters.) KneeGee
Well I am a Greek and I say that it's pronounced M'kay, like the teacher's catchphrase in South Park. Not really, but I wanted to join in the one-upmanship.
I see what you did there. Are there any sponsors that would be available that would make a handy coincidence?
Greek, the language where their version of yes sounds like no, and their version of no sounds like okay. No wonder their economy is ****ed...
