Poy- ay or Poy-ett

[BatterSeagull]

So what it is? I thought it was Poy-ett but Mr Bloom said Poy-ay in the press conference.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Poi-yay I believe would be the correct Spanish pronunciation.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

The T is silent as is common in South American Surnames.

 

[Notters]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffff

 

[jordanseagull]

It's Poyay, you've got to be pretty damn dumb to think that a name without a 'tt' or 'tte' at the end is pronounced 'ett'

 

[Life After Bobby]

It's Poyay, you've got to be pretty damn dumb to think that a name without a 'tt' or 'tte' at the end is pronounced 'ett'

Bridget?

 

[BatterSeagull]

Toilet?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Just because a name looks "French" doesn't mean anything.

Fernet Branca ... pronounced Fernett Branca. And there used to be an Italian politician called Carlo Donat Cattin ... pronounced Donatt Catt In.

Gustavo Augusto "Gus" Poyet Domínguez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpoʝei]; born November 15, 1967 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a former Uruguay international footballer and current manager of English side Brighton & Hove Albion. During his playing career, Poyet featured for teams including Real Zaragoza, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. After his playing career ended he moved into coaching, with spells as assistant manager to Dennis Wise at Swindon Town and Leeds United. Poyet was also assistant manager to Juande Ramos at Tottenham. Although his name is spelt with the 't' at the end of Poyet, this is a silent letter and is common in many South American surnames.

Fernet Branca ... pronounced Fernett Branca. And there used to be an Italian politician called Carlo Donat Cattin ... pronounced Donatt Catt In.

So what it is? I thought it was Poy-ett but Mr Bloom said Poy-ay in the press conference.

Whatever the correct way is im sure all the southern counties commentators and summarisers will get it totally wrong......and here comes Gos Poyee and Nicky Foster says Norman Gall.

 

[Lush]

Poy-ett says Ferret in Bozza's clip ...

Or should that be Fer-ray?
