It's a good job she's not Swiss, otherwise she'd have to wrap her tongue around the Young Boys of Bern vs Grasshoppers Zurich.

Ah - so now we come to the real point of the post.

Indeed. I was genuinely struggling to reconcile the thread title to the "number of letters" game but it seems the intention was good old fashiond sexism after all.

Or, "And who can forget the look of disappointment on Lionel Blair's face as he was denied the opportunity to use his mouth on The Young Boys Of Bern vs The Grasshoppers of Zurich?"

Yup. The commentator was perfectly fine. :shrug:

No idea why the thread title references the fact that the commentator was female. Had Guy Mowbray made that observation, can't believe the thread would have read "Male Commentator on West Ham vs Brighton game."

In the PL, Wolves v Brighton is the longest name fixture. In the UK Clwb Pêl Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch v Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Sexism is never or was in my mind at all.
