[Albion] Pronouncing Locadia

[Tesco in Disguise]

I had assumed loh-KAR-dee-ah, but the commentators on Super Sport have gone with lokka-DEE-ah.

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

It's pronounced J Lo or J Loc

 

[Bodian]

Stadium Announcer agrees with you as well.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Loccy

 

[TheJasperCo]

Isn't that a venue for comedy gigs?

 

[indy3050]

Somebody if they haven’t already needs to come up with the words based on hey macarena, ending in Heyyy Lo ca di a...


Maybe

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That clown who used to manage Luton (when he wasn't curb crawling') pronounced Coventry 'Cardiff' when discussing the game. As a matter of interest, he regularly pronounces a certain player's name as 'Shimbombo'. Can you name that player? #prayforpleat

 

[Bruntburger]

My nan would of scored a hatrick with the chances he wasted today

 

[West Upper Seagull]

It's pronounced J Lo or J Loc

[redoubtable seagull]

Didn’t know Geoffrey Boycott frequented NSC.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I fancy he would have scored two or three today if fully match fit, I liked what I saw from Jay Low.

 

[Coalburner]

What has your nan's scoring ability got to do with the proper pronunciation of a name?

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

His song's a little bit crap ! Loved the Hunemeier song though

 

[Jack Straw]

Pronouncing Locadia.
I thought this was the sequel to Educating Rita?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Very promising debut, we’ve got to be excited about what he might be capable of. Looked lively, confident, great touch and vision - happy days

 

[Mayonaise]

I'm gonna call him Jurgen

 

[Lady Whistledown]

You're correct, according to this native speaker:

My god. Earlier today, I heard somebody singing his name to the tune of Mamma Mia. I told them unequivocally that it really didn't scan, as the stresses were all in the wrong place (I'd assumed like most it was Lock-AR-dia). If it's meant to be pronounced Locker-DEE-ya, well, oh my goodness.

This changes EVERYTHING
