topcat(The most tip top) Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Munich is just the English translation of Munchen. Atletico and Athletico, are completely different.

Please try and find another pedantically tedious way of white knighting lichtie though. I figured that the best way to counter pedantic tedium was to be more pedantic and tedious and hope people would see what I was doing I now realise this was bad Please forgive me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Calling them Athletico is stupid because it's simply wrong, but the British people who come out with Atleti are arguably worse IMO. It's a cringey "I know so much about European football, I call teams by the name the locals do" type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Surely we can all agree that it's all right as long as we don't start saying Internet Milan? PS I say Atletico, if only to differentiate between them and Athletic Bilbao. Not sure where on the P&B autism spectrum that puts me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not, as another poster suggested, anglicize the first part also? Bayern München oder Bavaria Munich... The club was originally Athletic Club de Madrid. General Franco forced them to change their name. Given you clearly support Franco's view on this, you are nothing but a facist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Athletico is as much a partial hispanification as a partial anglicisation.ThanksI think we've all learned something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
