    Annoying

    OK... I need to share this and get it off my chest. There are two trival things that are really starting to annoy me.

    1. Players having their Christian name or nickname on the back of their shirts instead of their actual surname
    2. The sudden rise of players with double barrelled surnames

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek
    Ainsley Maitland-Niles
    Kyle Walker-Peters
    Trent Alexander-Arnold
    Dominic Calvert-Lewin
    James Ward-Prowse
    Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
    Timothy Fosu-Mensah

    And I am sure many others. I blame Sven Goran-Eriksson

    I asked Mrs Outwood-Outwood about this and then took cover in case I got both barrels.

    Burnley thought about signing a player and then opted out after they saw his real name and realised they had a problem with his shirt:-
    Kevin Oghenetaga Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham.
