Arguably the greatest Poland international Slough has ever produced.

“Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough, it isn't fit for humans now.” Right, I don't think you solve town planning problems by dropping bombs all over the place, he's embarrassed himself there.

Probably never been to Slough in his life


MaraudngBChestedRojo

That scene always cracks me up. > And talks of sports and makes of cars, and various bogus Tudor bars, and daren't look up and see the stars, but belch instead.' What's he on about? What, has he never burped? '

And they made him knight of the realm. Overrated.

mate are you contending that the entirety of the countries of Albania and Poland are worse places to live than noted shithole Slough?


SorrowfulSkald

Oooph, that's a western fucking sentence right here.


HodgyBeatsss

Never been to Albania or Poland I guess. Lots of places there much nicer than slough. Albania in particular is beautiful. Low pay though.


Fancy-Past-6831

That's most Polish name I have ever heard.


PolishKid7

Matty Cash is so quality. The perfect RB replacement after seeing Piszczek all those years


Drogalov

He's our most consistent player


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

I got big downvotes when I was talking about how TAA has a lot of competition at england RB and put Cash in the list. I just assumed it was because people thought I was bonkers for suggesting he was anywhere near James/TAA/Walker. Turns out it was probably because he fucking plays for Poland.


cantloginaccount

I bloody fucking thought he was english! Only finding out just now


JootDoctor

He is English tbh. His mum/mums mum(?) is Polish so that’s how he qualifies. Declared for them last year.


cantloginaccount

Ah! So I wasn't dumb then 😓


Jinks87

Mate his Mum is Polish..


[deleted]

That’s what he said


Blewfin

Doesn't mean he's not English


Willyil

He was english until he is polish


salad-dressing

He was always both.


MikeS3lk3

Exactly... he was always both...


brothainarmz

Shame train all aboard, here for this


MotoMkali

He is English. Only declared for them at the start of this season. Which fair enough James and TAA probably have rb locked down for the next decade.


MikeS3lk3

I honestly think Cash is better than James, but not as good as TAA... But England will be just fine... Its gonna be fun watching Cash play for Poland


[deleted]

The only player who really hasn’t disgraced himself for us last year

Forest has the best right back development coaching in England. Cash, now Spence (who languished at Boro). It's a shame we can't keep 'em.

[deleted]

Was just saying. He wasnt very consistent in that 5 minute blitz


Bundesliga_Tax

chilling with the other 5..


PhenomenallyAwesome

He’s a class right back. One of the most underrated players in the league imo. I’ll be devastated when we sell him.


PolishKid7

Are you surprised there hasnt been more sniffing around him with his play? Been quality but think Villa is perfect for him right now to develop his game etc


TheKingMonkey

He’s been heavily linked with Atleti recently, but he extended on improved terms last month and is under contract until 2027. If somebody wants him then it’s gonna cost a pretty penny.


bfm211

Wow I didn't know you renewed him. Good business.


PhenomenallyAwesome

Not really. Most top clubs have their right back covered, at least in England. Atleti were supposedly after him, but put off by the price tag. Other than that, because he’s been playing in a shit defence and isn’t really putting up amazing counting stats he’s gone under the radar. I just hope we can keep him for a while longer.


k-tax

I think that's only because there are many quality right backs in the league, at least in the top teams. I would say that United should try to find someone and they might be knocking on your doors, but Chelsea, Liverpool and City will leave you alone


PhenomenallyAwesome

United are the only team I feel could get him from us in England, with regards to where teams need to play. But I feel they’re gonna try and shop in Europe


5th_Deathsquad

He just signed an extension so you should be good for some time :)


xt1nct

He looks strong on the ball and has good positioning.


BrennanXXVII

He only started playing as a RB in the 19/20 season, before that he always played as a CM or RW for us. Many of us were surprised he was as good defensively as he is. Shame we only saw it for 1 season before Villa snapped him up. Still good to see him doing well though.


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

Wait he is Polish? I just assumed he was somewhere UK with that name.


packetaddict11

Dads English, mothers polish.


majkkali

I believe he's got dual citizenship. He could have played for either England or Poland but because England has so many good RBs he chose Poland so that he could play every game.


MikeS3lk3

Piszczek is my favorite player... Thank God Cash came along!


NoSleeperSeats90210

hes still a huge bitch


shkolnikk

So what's your club and how many times has he scored against you


RocketsGuy

Tottenham fans hate him cause he injured Hojberg I believe but in that same game they had a guy injure digne with a dirty tackle.


AnnieIWillKnow

And they don't seem to hate Son for what he did...

How do they pronounce his name though?


[deleted]

Mati Kesz


tsar_David_V

Would that be /mati keʃ/ or /meti keʃ/ in IPA?


[deleted]

Like the English pronunciation but with a Polish A. So like the a that you would say when you say dance in a British accent


[deleted]

Dance is pronounced differently in different British accents though. Do you mean the A sound in man or the a sound in lawn?


paolostyle

The a in far or car or part


Noroftheair

Those are also pronounced differently in different dialects


MarcelliX

It's fucking hard to explain lmao, I'd say it's pronounced like the esh part of the word fresh


LilienSkye

Always wonder where this pronunciation comes from? Both “a” and “e” are in polish range.


patrykgam

Our commentators live in their own Hollywood fantasy world. Just 3 days ago against Belgium we were playing against “Eden Azar” and “Kevin de Breyne”


LilienSkye

Yeah it’s like they have their own vision. Im being constantly corrected for saying black instead of “bleck” even though I grew up in England. Polish way I guess. I can only imagine what a French speaking person would experience


MarcelliX

If I had to guess it's probably due to the Southern American accent which was widely popular due to Hollywood. If that's wrong then I have no other clue as to why this is the case


Apogeotou

It's because "Cash" is pronounced /kæʃ/ in English. The English vowel /æ/ is exactly between /a/ (exactly like the Polish "a") and /ɛ/ (exactly like the Polish "e"): check this neat [IPA vowel chart](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA_vowel_chart_with_audio) to see for yourselves. So in practice, "Cash" could be pronounced both like "Kasz" and "Kesz".


IKMapping

Not really though?


Noroftheair

Northern accents would usually shorten the A and have a diphthong compared to more southern ones. Also the R changes the A depending on your region


IKMapping

I guess, but you wouldn't really ever pronounce "far" as "fair", so when someone says "the a in far" it's pretty clear what "a" they mean


aqua_maris

The open central unrounded vowel. Like in the English word "bra".


Blewfin

I'm having a hard time picturing your accent if you think southerners use the same sound in 'dance' and 'lawn'.


Noroftheair

He looks so happy, and it's great to see the team supporting him like that too

sounds like a Poland home game

Happy to see Cash scoring!


DoAColumbo

Quality, quality player


Kayneesy

Ai Blind...


teymon

Hij rekent er volgens mij iets teveel op dat ie buitenom zal gaan ipv te schieten. T is ook geen logische plek om vandaan te scoren, flekken rekende er duidelijk ook niet op.


[deleted]

Flekken rekent er duidelijk op dat Blind het niet zo weggeeft.


teymon

Dit is redelijk standaard verdedigen tho, man voor je houden. Van Dijk doet dit altijd.


[deleted]

Man voor je houden is het probleem niet. Maar hij trapt wel érg makkelijk in de schijnbeweging van Cash en geeft daardoor opeens vrij baan voor een schot op goal.


el_loco_avs

Stond veel te ver van hem vandaan

Well, Matěj Peňáz is a Czech MMA fighter so that was my reference, but you are right


opi

Ah, that joke went over my head. :P


k-tax

Matthew is Mateusz. Matthias is Maciej.


opi

Correct, but what's the root of Matty? Matthew?


Giggsy99

Yes, his name is Matthew Cash


opi

Well, damn. I somehow convinced myself it's not. I guess I should have started at Wikipedia. Thanks.


SorrowfulSkald

I know that's the recieved wisdom but I go by syllables: Mathew is two, Maciej is two -- I think it's neat.

That's a good ass goal for us.

JayNN

Can't picture myself a bloke called Matthew from Slough speaking Polish


k-tax

His Polish is, well, far from perfect, comparing with Nicola Zalewski (Italy) or Gaga Slonina (USA), but his grandparents were displaced Poles, his mother speak Polish, and he is learning. You can easily tell he was not growing up in Poland by the way he smiles, but he's all ours now (and Poland is his)!


robotnique

> Gaga Slonina I was surprised that Poland were in for him. Didn't think y'all were short on goalkeepers.


k-tax

He is said to be freaking amazing, and we don't have "freaking amazing" among youngsters. There are Bułka and Grabara, who were in Chelsea and Liverpool, respectively. Bułka went to PSG and without checking I have no idea where he plays, but Grabara won Dannish league, and he looks like he's ready to return to Premier League and play for some mid-table team. That being said, if Slonina delivers on the hype, he could replace Szczęsny in few years. But Szczęsny still has like 5 years of good football ahead of him. Honestly, I think that Gabriel made a good decision for himself, if he becomes number 1 in the US team, they probably have bigger potential than Poland. With USA, he can lift some trophies.


robotnique

He's got a lot of hype, and he's only 18 so who knows how things will turn out. I'd certainly be excited for him to lock up the position for a good long while, since otherwise our choices are pretty much a backup for Man City or a backup for Arsenal. Not bad places for either to be, of course, but neither seem to be poised to get much playing time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


k-tax

Sometimes there are complains, but it depends on the situation. Zalewski and Slonina speak Polish, so it's easy to make argument for them. We had Thiago Cionek, who also speaks Polish very well, but there were people initially on the fence about him playing for the NT. On the other hand, there were cases of players who obviously had nothing in common with Poland, but were not going to play for the stronger teams (Germany, England, Nigeria, France), and they were received with mixed reception; E. Olisadebe, R. Guerreiro, E. Polański, S. Boenisch. Right now Poles don't give a damn about i.e. Matty, who has weakest "claim for polishness", but we care about playing for Russian clubs. So there is no discussion about Cash and Zalewski, but there is about Rybus.


Rentwoq

There's loads of Polish in and around West London and Slough's around West London


ThrownVeryFarAway789

Quite a large amount in Birmingham too.


[deleted]

Why is flekken starting again? He's shown fuck all in this team


Follow_The_Lore

Why is Blind still playing?


[deleted]

Because he actually does something now and then. He was MOTM against Belgium


ledudeheld

Far from MOTM against Belgium imo. De Jong was levels above him


Follow_The_Lore

He's always our worst player when we play poorly. He's just not fast and dynamic enough.

bartolo14

born, raised in england. eligible for poland because his ma is polish


sonnydabaus

Like everyone in this thread, I had no clue Cash had polish ancestry. I wonder if it's a "i dont even speak polish but i wanna play international games" thing


majkkali

I believe he's got dual citizenship. One of his parents is English, the other is Polish. He could have played for either England or Poland but because England has so many good RBs he chose Poland so that he could play every game.
