I had it pointed out to me a few years back but I LIKE the fact people say Premiership because it's getting the name wrong which will REALLY piss off TV types.

 

[Wozza]

EPL!

This.

What is the Zenith Data Systems Cup called now?

Scrap metal.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

It always has and always will be division 1 to me so I couldn't care less what you call it.

So you refer to us as being in the Division 2? You never say we're in the Championship?

 

[Norman Potting]

It ruins my day when I hear someone refer to a public address system as a Tannoy!. I am with Arthur though on 'Division 1', if they want to give the top two divisions stupid names then at least (if they must) change the names of the lower tiers accordingly (League 3 and League 4).

the only one's that get anywhere near making my piss boil though are EPL, PIN number, reversing backwards and Inter Milan

"Cheaper prices" gets me, as does a favourite of mine - "underground tunnels", presumably to differentiate them from above ground tunnels.

It's just a corporate rebranding stunt. I will keep calling it the Premiership, and people will know what I'm talking about. I doubt the French or Germans have the same problem.

The division above the Championship is not the Premiership. It's the Premier League. It hasn't been the Premiership since 2007.

I know the Argus keeps on about the Premiership, but their sub-editors are know-nothing f*ckwits who work from Southampton. The educated persons who contribute to this site are better than that. Aren't we?

As I pointed out too... very, very sloppy and irritating.

I love the irony.

 

[trueblue]

The thing is 'Premiership' was a nonsense term in football and has a correct meaning ('the period in which someone is Prime Minister') so the change to Premier League was very welcome.

 

[Easy 10]

I think they binned the Premiership moniker because people outside it kept calling it the Premiershit.

Or something.

Wasn't it to do with folks being confused with the Rugby Premiership - they wanted more differentiation? Team names and diff ball shape were not enough

Well, it can get confusing at times. Have you ever watched Stoke ?

I think we've got a good chance in the Milk cup next year if we go up. Now Thatcher's dead.

[pasty]

Not sure why we have to have all this silly branding. If nothing else it makes it complicated explaining to people who don't know what league everyone is. I mean how on earth can the third tier of English football be called League 1 FFS !

Typos are allowed.

 

[Arthur]

So you refer to us as being in the Division 2? You never say we're in the Championship?

Correct. We're in the second division so why not call it as such?
