How is Paqueta's name pronounced? I thought it was Pa-KET-a. The radio kept talking about one Packet-TAR (emphasis on the -tar)
I thought we had a new player 🤣

Seeing as this is his full name ‘Lucas Tolentino Coelho de Lima’ I’m not sure if even he knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

PrestonHammer

Paqueta is the place he is from. It is pronounced with the emphasis on tar.

ASLEFshrugged

Everything I've seen online says it is Pah-ket-ah

Paqueta is the name of where he grew up, Ilha de Paqueta

It translates as the "island of many pacas", pacas being large rodents which can grow up to 30 inches long and weigh up to 30lbs

When the Queen visited Belize in 1985 she was served paca stew and she said it tasted like rabbit

Ravel49

This certainly is a place that keeps on giving

The accent over the last "a" is to indicate the last syllable is stressed, a bit like DM at the moment, I suppose. So Pa'ke'TAH it is

In the build up to the World Cup Tim Vickery said definitely it’s “ Paketah” , he’ll do for me.
And another thing, on my stream last night Paul Robinson called Coufal Koufal for the entire match, only about two years behind everyone else.

Thanks guys, so we haven't got a new signing that I missed 🤣

I’m sorry I can’t pronounce all that

PrestonHammer

Too many letters for that to spell Paqueta. Hahaha

Hamstew

That's Paqueta in Welsh

RIP Gianluca Vialli 💔

Fortuneseeker

Gianluca Vialli achieved everything he desired in the game and showed true class throughout his long cancer battle. All of Italy is in mourning today for a man who made a generation fall in love with football. Stolen from the Mail but I thought it was very apt.

RIP Gianluca

Always scary when people of a similar age pass away.

Slacker

Very sad news, always seemed a very likeable bloke, 58 is no age to pass away.

Ravel49

A great striker out right
And formed one of the best strike partnerships of all time with Mancini imo
And then together as a management team lifting the Euros with Italy

Ravel49

A nice touch by Samp, all players warming up in Vialli shirts

Ravel49

Also as I have said before I’m not a streamer so appreciate many have access to all games anyway
But Atletico Madrid bs Barca is on ITV 4 tonight as well as La Liga TV

Qatari owners of PSG talking to Levy about investing in a PL club

Bazshuayi

Just when you thought you couldn't dislike them more...

buffybegood

Fairly predictable, Gareth Bale has retired:

Bazshuayi

Never liked the guy. Not sure if its just me. The man bun and his goal celebration definitely enhanced that dislike

Haller came off the bench for Dortmund ,after his cancer battle ,Great for him

MIAHammer

Half way through the season and the perennial yo-yo team, Fulham, have twice as many points as us. That’s the kind of season we’re having!

Whitehorsehammer

MIA, Fulham are going well but will be interesting to see where we are against them at the end of the season.
