This could get nasty.Great stuff. Would have made a cracking pub fight.
It honestly looked like Pagh initially thought Tottenham were playing the German club Wolfsburg. And because Fletcher isn't German, he is just calling the club by its full name. No need to be so defensive.This board gets dumber by the day. You call a German arrogant for trying to explain you how the German language works. A Classic.
Borussia means Prussia in Latin.I thought this may be the case!
Thanks for clarifying. Interesting.
I hope to visit the city of Borussia one day.
I mean, if the club is called Londoner/Mancunian, why notIt's still an adjective. You wouldn't say Londoner play Mancunian, would you?
How are non-native German speakers supposed to know that? (In reference to laughing at Darren Fletcher calling them Wolfsberger).Londoner FC alright, but *only* in conjunction with the FC.
the whole German speaking population after the last half hour.So are Spurs playing the whole population of Wolfsberg or just the football club.
What about a tournament with the German lot as well.Have Wolves ever played Wolfsberg?
Woflsberger is not a noun, it's not even a word in its own right. It literally means "from / related to the town of Wolfsberg" and is only used when describing a noun, like "Athletiksport Club" in the club's name, as being related to the town of Wolfsberg.Adjective or not the name Wolfsberger is in the club name how is that difficult to understand? If Wolfsberger is in the name then it is Wolfsberger not Wolfsberg. If Manchester United was called Mancunian United then you would say Mancunian but it says Manchester.
Seriously?20 years ago, Wolfsburg was coached by Wolfgang Wolf.
You might be interested in hearing that one of Wolfsburg's (German club) previous coaches is the German coach Wolfgang Wolf.Have Wolves ever played Wolfsberg?
It is true, indeed.Seriously?
Yeah, I did actually know that, best manager/club combo ever!You might be interested in hearing that one of Wolfsburg's (German club) previous coaches is the German coach Wolfgang Wolf.
I was taking the piss mate I know that one!Borussia means Prussia in Latin.
Give over. Careful now with the bullshit stories. You don't want to be the boy who cried wolf.20 years ago, Wolfsburg was coached by Wolfgang Wolf.
Pretty sure everyone on the thread knew that part.Can’t believe you silly sausage’s didn’t know the difference between Wolfsberger and Wolfsberg, oh how I laugh..

Well, he wouldn't refer to the team from Hamburg as Hamburger, would he? But I guess that's just because the city of Hamburg is much more well known.How are non-native German speakers supposed to know that? (In reference to laughing at Darren Fletcher calling them Wolfsberger).
Like the only part everyone agreed onPretty sure everyone on the thread knew that part.
That's the only bit we did know.Pretty sure everyone on the thread knew that part.
Why are there so many people, adamantly arguing with native speakers about the usage of their language.Adjective or not the name Wolfsberger is in the club name how is that difficult to understand? If Wolfsberger is in the name then it is Wolfsberger not Wolfsberg. If Manchester United was called Mancunian United then you would say Mancunian but it says Manchester.
"Sheffield U"? So much disrespect.Some real hypocrisy from a few of the English posters on here. Not long ago they were moaning about people calling Sheffield U just "Sheffield". But when it comes to foreign clubs they use whatever name that suit them. Pure arrogance!

(Ok you can also use it as a noun, but then you're talking about a person from Wolgsberg. Glad to clear that up. )
yes he is gifted. Was part of our academy one timeIs Musiala highly rated and if so how good is he?
Sure you did..Pretty sure everyone on the thread knew that part.
That's gonna make a great movie.
Wait 'till Klopp explains this to MourinhoSo are Spurs playing the whole population of Wolfsberg or just the football club.
You would if you'd only seen the name of the club written down... Hamburger SVWell, he wouldn't refer to the team from Hamburg as Hamburger, would he? But I guess that's just because the city of Hamburg is much more well known.
