    As anyone else noticed that commentators can't help calling certain players by their full name rather than just their surname?' Watching the Leeds game earlier and everytime gray touched the ball it was " Archie gray"' i remember it being exactly the same with " Harry arta"' a strange phenomenon. Thats it' a totally meaningless post' just wondered if anyone else had noticed.

    Mentioned this to my girlfriend when we were watching the play off final last season. She confirms that once it's in your head you can't unhear it.

    But surely, conversely, one of the most irritating is calling Alexander Arnold .... Trent.
