Wojciech Szczesny

[cmonurz]

How the hell does one say the Arsenal keeper's name?

[3 veesinarow]

Voycheck Sheshknee...

[cmonurz]

Ta.

[ZacNaloen]

I've been pronouncing it like Chesney, woops

[Silver Fox]

Same here, don't think I'm the one and only either

[Ferris]

Think I went with Wosh-eck Shez-knee when I read the thread title.

It's hard to fathom what sound could merit being represented by 'Szcz'.

[weybridgewanderer]

It's hard to fathom what sound could merit being represented by 'Szcz'.

Sz translates as Sh
Cz translates as Ch

So I would say Shchesni

[Rev Algenon Stickleback H]

More like voycheck shtensneh according to this

Well you have to nasalise the e of Szczesny... The Szch bit sounds the same as the shch of 'pushchair'... and the 'ci' needs particular care.

I'd say the last guess was closest. Something like 'VOI-tsyeH shchENSnee' with a hard H at the end of the forename.

Just call him Happy and be done with it.

[soggy biscuit]

The first name is pronounced 'voy-check'. It's quite a common Polish name.

.

the link actually has someone from Poland saying the name, so it wasn't really a guess as such.

[Silver Fox]

I believe it is now pronounced ALOLITO

[SLAMMED]

[Row Z Royal]

Not solely his fault though.

[muddyfeet]

oops

[Royalee]

I believe it's pronounced 'Clown', best ending to a cup final ever, couldn't happen to a nicer bloke than Wenger.

[handbags_harris]

Isn't it pronounced "Stacked It"???

[prostak]

Between Koscielny and Szczęsny, a proud new chapter has been written in Polish football history

[TBM]

Seaman and Adams would never have made that error.

Why doesn't Wenger just bite the bullet and spend some of the £50m profit on a new keeper (Reina) and centre half (Cahill)

In 4 competitions but could be only 1 in a matter of weeks
