People that still call the Premier League the 'Premiership'

get with the pogrom

Oh yes. I like that. Well played sir. I'm definitely going to be using that quip in the future.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Division 1, 2, 3 & 4 for me!

THIS must be an age thang

I've still not fully understood why the Spastic Society changed its name to Holmesdale Ultras.

SORRY that may have been politically incorrect

how thick can you be

 

[SICKASAGULL]

I can only recall Premiership being used and i shall certainally continue to use this label.

 

[brightn'ove]

oh, and its the Barclays Premier League, i think you'll find. Wilkins says it about 10,000 times every 10 minutes, so you should know by now FFS.

I wonder how much he gets paid every time he says it?

Maybe he should strike up a deal with the people at Oxford English Dictionary for 'my word'

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Does a VPL exist e.g. Vauxhall Premier League?

 

[Triggaaar]

what about those uneducated masses who shop at Tescos then ?

'Tescos' too - wankers.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Do you go to Tesco then? So when you go to see your mate Andy, do you go to Andy? Because if I was friends with Andy (I'm not, he's not weird enough) I'd go to Andy's. When I shop, I go to Tesco's.

Well yes, you go to Tesco, which is the name of the shop. Andy's house isn't called Andy... but if it was you would say i am going to Andy.

Debatable. Tesco is the name of the company, and you're going to one of the shops that is owned by them. The building isn't renamed. Go to a shop on the highstreet and it has a number, and while there's a sign showing the name of the company, the building hasn't been renamed.

What's that programme on sky sports, "The Premiership Years" is it? Well I saw the 2010/11 one a couple of days ago. In which case it should've been called "Premier League Years". Apparently.

Fair point, but you wouldn't say im going to oxfam's or Waitrose's would you? or would you?

 

[Triggaaar]

Certainly not the latter, because doesn't flow off the tongue, but that's not an indication of what's right. I think you can get away with Tesco or Tesco's, as you can say you're going to 'shop name' or 'shop owned by'.

If you were going to the school next to the Tesco in Hove, would you go to St Andrew? No, you'd go to St Andrew's (and being a school, you'd hope they've got it right).

 

[Worthingite]

Can't stand the C**ts who refer to the Premiership ( ) as the EPL. Dunno if anyones already mentioned this as I was feeling lazy and didn't read through. But it grinds my gears something chronic.

Isn't St. Andrew's actually called that though, as in it s name is St Andrew's primary school?

This is NOTHING compared to the Opal Fruits - Starburst saga of '98. That made Vietnam look like handbags.
