Well since he's known as The King according to Ashley Barnes (in Arsegust today), howsabout...

So we'll singa singa sing
Vicente's The King The King The King
And he's playing for our football team
Oh he's a Spanish International
And he's the greatest we've ever seen

*Awaits sizeable negative reaction*

if it's a dialectical issue, then, as I have been doing, I shall continue to say Vicente. I mean, the same logic couldn't be applied to say...Billareal or Balencia or...Andre Veeyash Boashh...or Bolibia, perhaps I could buy an old fashioned Bolbo to drive home.

Well for starters villas boas is portugese, but in most of Spain, V is pronounced like a B. It's not as 'hard' a B sound as in English though, sometimes its almost silent. (Vamos is the example I remember)

up to you mate but it can apply to these Spanish words too
Pronunciation of valencia - how to pronounce valencia correctly.

AVB is Portuguese and Volvo a Swedish firm so their names are kind of irrelevant to this discussion.

good, but the last line doesn't scan :thumbsup: 'Best' instead of 'greatest' maybe.

edit: running through it again, it does indeed scan, sorry :blush:
