Did I really hear the commentator refer to AEK Athens as Ike Athens???

That's how it's pronounced. Ike Athens. Powk Salonika. etc.

I've always assumed that it was just said as the three different letters

The inconsistencies of foreign club nomenclature.

It's Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos, or the Athletic Union of Constantinople. In Greek they go Ike. But if you want to spell out the English letters you probabaly want to call them Ay - You - See. Greek name, Greek pronunciation. If you're not doing the Greek, translate the lot. But probably just do the Greek.

I reckon if everyone just calls them whatever they want, things will probably be fine in the end.

What has changed for us, we just don't seem capable of controlling matches anymore.

2 things - we don't have enough squad depths and Emery in charge for quite a while now meaning other coaches can work him out a bit easier.

it was 70% possession for Spurs the other day at points. Over 60% for Ajax, and it's the same again tonight. I don't know what has changed. We've gone from being on the front foot, possession and aggressive to submissive and counter attack.
