Does anyone know how knockaert celebrated yesterday i didnt see him celebrate for the second goal, saw almost everyone but him?

On the highlights, I think I saw him run straight past the left goal post and jump over the advertising hoardings behind the goal.

You did! He was stood in front of the seat celebrating. You could just see his boots and socks in the top corner of the screen when the focused on Lloyd & Co.

This kid is making a big difference to this team at the moment.

I think a lot of the excitement behind him is, when was the last time we had a player that was ours (not a loanee in simple terms) like him?

Exciting to watch and puts a shift in....

His name is actually of Belgium origin, as I understand. Europeans tend to pronounce the "kn" as a "kern". Other examples include the culinary brand (as in stock cubes) of Knorr, promounced Kernorr. Also Kneisel ski equipments pronounced "Kernicell". The game "Kniffle" is pronounced "Kerniffel". The Belgiums speak a mixture of French, German, Flemmish, and Dutch I believe - so all in all a pretty mixed bag. The French have a word for tyres "Pneu" pronounced "Pernu", which incidentally is were we get the words pnuematic and pneumonia from - thinks it comes from the Latin meaning inflamed.

Generally the french will not pronounce the last letter of a word if it is a consonant. Eg. "Ferguson" becomes Fergusoh", however if the next word starts in a vowel then the last letter vocally joins the following word. For Instance, "Ferguson is a big c**t" in French is something like, "Ferguson est une chat grand" which would be prounced " Fergusoh netoon shatt grond". There are anomolies and the southern French of Marseille will pronounce the last letter of words, eg the ski resort "Chamonix" is generally known as "Shammonee" but the Southern French will often call it "Shammonicks" I'm not great at French but heyho.

However, English is far more complicated. Just look at words ending in "ough".

Borough - pronounced "burrerr"

Through = prononced "throo"

Though - pronounced "thoe"

There are reasons for this but, you could write on book on it.

wibble...............

I live on the continent, am fairly fluent in French and all of your claims and deductions are pretty much made up.

"Kn" is usually pronounced as an "n", and "pneu" just as it is. I have no clue where you got that "ern" theory from.

Graet player, he makes things happen and tries something different. I don't agree with people who say he tries to do too much - at least he tries something special - they aren't always going to be successful. He is the one player in the team who can play a telling ball that opens up an opposing defence.

One of our fans on TalkSport made a very good point.

Would Redknapp and his staff looked for Knockaert?

I don't understand that - Harry made his name by wheeling and dealing in foreign players noone had heard of!!!!

Anyone got a clue how much we actually paid for Knockaert as I've just read on the Udders forum it was around £2.6m ?

That's what their programme reported it as. Last I heard it was undisclosed was it not? And rumoured to be less than half that figure
