Good god. He is an occasional starter for the 8th best team in the land

What about the regular starter for the 7th best team?

What are you annoyed about?

"Burnley's Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Cardiff City's Aron Gunnarsson have also been included in the 23-man list."

Did you miss that bit?

Bloody hell there's a lot of SSON's in that team.

Hope they've got enough S O and N letters for the shirts!

If Sigurdsson is surplus to requirements at Everton, I bloody hope we are first in the queue

Most Icelandic blokes have their fathers first name as their last name with SON added to the end of it.

If our Johann had a son his last name would be Johnasson

One appeared in 33 games for his club this season and scored 6 goals and the other appeared in 38 games for his club and scored 2 goals.
What is there to be annoyed about?

I’d be surprised if Icelands manager went out of his way to wind you up. It is a world cup squad. He must be near fitness.

The headline is surely that they have picked a player who hasn't played due to injury for two months and as a result is a bit of a surprise selection.

I just hope we face them in the World Cup.

We'd easily beat them..

Bang on. Gudmundsson's inclusion in the squad isn't interesting news as he was nailed on to make the squad anyway.

Should that be On-me -ed - son?

Why am I supposed to be annoyed again?

I came here to be annoyed but now i'm just hungry.

Alfred Finnbogason (included in their forward line), is he the same chap we were linked with a few years back?

If he has a daughter they put ”ditta ” at the end of his first name instead of “son”

No, it's a question.

"On Meds, Son?"

Could be a relative of Upthebeehole!

No, not to the same degree as Icelandic. We have family names that have become established as that, but Icelanders have full on patronymic naming conventions.

My name is Ricardo, may father is David. Under that method my surname is Davidson. But it’s not it’s Montalban. My son should be called Ricardoson. He won’t be, it’ll be Montalban.

Watched a programme on Vikings the other night and they said that the first men on Iceland were all Scandinavian and the women were all Scottish. The slaves were all British which probably also explains for the women.

Is Albert who plays for PSV a relative of our Johan?
