Emi Martinez

[Risso]

Only in Brum's local paper, would they have an article saying "Man U Fans Rage as Martinez Save Allowed to Stand by VAR."

Just heard his post match. Brilliant lad and really pleased he's in out team.

Love having an arrogant Argie back there.

How about talented, confident, competent?

Re the comment about hospital balls I think they’re perfectly acceptable at Arsenal we just haven’t got used to it at all because we are used to Nylands calamities.

See above.

What a strange person you are.

🤣🤣🤣

[WilliamStanding]

He’s a competent keeper with a swagger about him.

How very strange.

Love having an arrogant Argie back there.

Certainly better than a nervous Norwegian.

[brontebilly]

Very impressive start

Love having an arrogant Argie back there.

Certainly better than a nervous Norwegian.

And a calamitous Croatian.

He looked tremendously assured and calm. Those are great compliments for a keeper. It was almost secondary to his penalty save which was excellent.

Spot on. Just gave off that feeling/aura of a safe 'keeper that I didn't realise was missing till tonight.

Yep, felt totally assured with him there.

[WilliamStanding]

Apologies, a very assured Argentinian.

For those slightly more sensitive.

Because the term “tenacious Scot” used for SJM caused utter uproar.

Sedulous Scot has a much better ring to it.

Think uncalled for saying arrogant and bringing nationality into it.

I said when he signed that he's a man of integrity and class . He take to all our hearts .

And well played to those who could see that the gold keeper situatin needed addresseding from the outset

A really composed debut topped off by that penalty save.

One note of annoyance was the commentator and Alan Smith mispronouncing his name. It's pronounced Mar-teen-ez not Martin-ez. It's not difficult!

Its very difficult for English speaker  actually because its
pronounced ES not ez
S  not Z.

I know it's pedantic, but it's not difficult for an English speaker to get it right - just like Rafa Benítez is pronounced Ben-eet-ez. Martínez has an accent on the I for a reason.

I was highlighting the incorrect  emphasis on the first syllable rather then the ending. However,  an S is ok for a Latin American, though a Spanish person would say a soft TH for the Z.

However,  again neither S nor TH is at all difficult for an English speaker to say.

Being married to a Spanish woman for a good number of years, it's one thing I do know. Language lesson over.
