Listening to Jonny Howson’s post match interview last night and he’s looking forward to Satdy, surely it’s Satda ?
Satdy or Satda ?

Makes me smile when I hear this, my old fella had a softer spoken Middlesbrough accent more Yorkshire I feel, but its nowhere near woolieback, its common enough in the boro and he always said " Satdy," I have a harsh Teesside accent and its Satda , Monda, Chewsda, Weddins da, Thusda Frida Satda Sunda

If we're sticking to historical accuracy, 'Saturnsday' would actually make the most sense. Or shortened to 'Satda'
Both Old English 'Saternesdæg' and Latin 'Saturni diēs' clearly tie the day to Saturn, whereas Saturday has simply been smoothed out over time.
Meanwhile, in Spanish, 'Sábado' comes from the Latin 'Sabbatum', which in turn originates from the Hebrew 'Shabbat', meaning "day of rest."
While English preserved the pagan connection to Saturn, Spanish (along with other Romance languages like Italian 'Sabato' and French 'Samedi') leaned into the religious influence, linking the day to the Jewish and Christian Sabbath - even though for Christians, Sunday became the primary day of worship.
So, in short:
Sábado = Sabbath = Rest day (but Sunday is their actual church day, so the influence comes from Judaism)
Saturday = Saturn’s day = The Romans were off doing their own thing.
one tradition looked to the heavens, the other to holy rest.
