    To be fair, you're right. Stuff can always kick off. Always seem to around me too, which is fantastic.

    If there is no accent on all ending letters does that mean they too are silent!?

    Ronald instead of Ronaldo?
    Nan instead of Nani?
    Fig instead of Figo?

    He will always be Jose Fontay!

    Sorry, my casual portuguese isn't what it used to be.

    Joe Fount (water spring) is his name in English.
    I only know the Brazilian version of Portuguese and Mrs Meowth, for she is a Brasileira, assures me, that there, his surname, would sound like Fontch.
    If that helps?

    So FONT it is then. Not Fontay, not Fontch, nor any other pronunciation, other than the name of that vessel which Christian babies are baptised over. A FONT. I wonder how long it will take for people to stop calling him Fontay..?

    Sorry Jen, I was just showing off!
    Mrs Meowth helped me write it and it's Brazilian slang, for something like, "Oh gawd, this thread is very annoying"

    <laugh> I met her through a friend, she was pleasantly surprised, that I knew a little about Brazilian music. That was it, we just hit it off really.

    In Tottenham Court road, London, there is a Brazilian cafe, they all hang out there, good grub too!

    so we need to start singing

    Jose Fo ont baby Jose Fo ont Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    Jose Fo ont baby Jose Fo ont Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Just hold the Font for two syllables. Simple.

    I don't think we should make up a whole different song. Crystal Palace sang exactly the same their.
    He might enjoy the fact that we are pronouncing it perfectly for him.
