EPL

[Hillian1]

It should be called the Barclays Premier League, since they are currently paying for the naming rights. However, I think outside of England, is it referred to the EPL to separate it from the SPL? I don't know, just wondering?

Possibly, but then do you say The FA Cup or The FA Cup sponsored by Eon?

What I say and what they're called are two different things. I call them the Premier League, FA Cup and Mickey Mouse Cup. What they're called, I believe, are the Barclays Premier League, the FA Cup and the Capital One Cup.

Does it matter what people call it? Really, does it matter?

 

[Worthingite]

I still call it the Premiership, which apparently winds up a few on NSC...

when did it stop being the Premiership?! I must have missed that!!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

EPL is the name given by the FAPL to distinguish it throughout the world.

It's been the Premier League again for a couple of years now I think.

As for the 'EPL' thing, that's what Adam Richman refers to it as, which is good enough for me. #manlove

Is it not the First Division ?

 

[British Grenadier]

Can we have a campaign to stop Arsene Wenger calling the Premier League the Championship ??

It really f***ing annoys me.

Christ

You say that, but I was equally bemused when I first saw that creeping in on here.

Where the f*ck did "EPL" come from ?

Sod if I'm going to start calling it that. Unless I wanted to sound REALLY REALLY THICK.

The first place I saw it referred to at that ? The Southampton messageboard.

Whenever I hear someone say/write it I think - mmmm, now there is a person who thinks goal music is a good idea.

Stop it now.

I thought it was a US expression. Based on how stupid it sounds.

Exactly.

Does anyone know whether the Vietnamese top division gets called the VPL?

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Could the members of NSC please tell me in a football context what or who the EPL is?

Ignore what these guys are telling you they haven't got a clue. It stands for "Enormous Pussy Lips".
