Classic.
 
This one is a personal fave - "After a Djimi Traore balls-up on goal, Perennial strugglers Liverpool fans (to the tune of 'Blame it on the boogie'):
"Don't blame it on Biscan, don't blame it on Finann, don't blame it on Haman, blame it on Traore. He just can't, he just can't, he just can't control his feet..."

"When you're sat in row Z, and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora, that's Zamora"

I don't think the accent has much to do with it. They make completely different sounds.

If you're sat in row ZED, and the ball hits your HEAD...rhymes perfectly.

No.

Most of the world says ZED, only Yanks say ZEE.

Hmmm interesting. I never knew. I learnt my ABCs with that song in primary (or was it kindy?) anyway that was always with a 'Zee' so that's how i've always pronounced Z.

Do other letters get pronounced differently too that i don't know about?

In Northern Ireland, I believe the Catholics say HAITCH and the Protestants say AITCH.

An Edinburgh derby (Hibs v Hearts)  in 90s, Steve Fulton was playing for Hearts and picked up a booking during the match, the Hibs support piped up with "Booked for being ugly"



He did have a laugh about it though!
