Could Ywo or someone please tell me what is the proper pronounciation of Arsenal's Rosicky? I always thought it was ROE-SIK-EE but now the British commentators all say ROE-SIS-KEE. Actually the way they say it is more like RAH-ZIS-KEE which makes it confusing when he is playing aagainst Fulham's Canadian forward Radzinski. How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce it?

We'll have to wait for dr. Ywo but my take is ROHSITZKY. At least that's how it's prononunced in Polish, and the languages are very similar.
Radzinski is a Polish name pronounced RAH-GEE-NSKY (more or less, since it contains a consonant that doesn't exist in Germanic languages - i.e. the "G" is in reality much softer than in "GEE").

Ok, I hope the following nonsense helps. The R, and the C are the most difficult to get right, as they sound quite different in Czech than in in most other languages, but it should be something like this. Kajet got it almost right. Say R and OS (as in OStracize) together - so it sounds short, it's not ROE-sicky. I - as in Idiot, C - sort of like TS (I can't think of an english word where C would sound the way we say it). Maybe like tiTS KY - as in KEEep

Yeah actually it would be a short "O" for us as well

Very informative, thanks. Gooner twat (I was waiting for that one) or not, he's a great player. He was outstanding against Bolton yesterday, and I'll never forget the ass-paddling he gave to my US team last summer.
