Yes, I get the picture. I have to say, that's pretty gay.

'The American NFL'. Imagine that.

The Canadian Football League (CFL) does, in fact, exist.

Gay, indeed.
 
If I understand the main thrust of this thread, certain people living on the southern half of an island sitting between the French Coast and Ireland get upset when people not living in that discrete area refer to their top football division as the EPL. Perhaps this inbred band of arrogant snobs needs to grow up and accept that the rest of the world is not required to adopt their vernacular nor examine English sporting life from their myopic viewpoint.

That is the case, because Scotland also has a Premier League. Over here every league is preceeded by its host nation - German Bundesliga (duh), Spain's La Liga (really?) Italian SerieA (mama mia!) French Ligue1 (sacre bleu!)

You get the picture.

So the Scots actually call it the Scottish Premier League?

Trainspotting was right, they are wankers.

Not quite.

Certain people living in Ireland are the ones with their panties in a twist.

Largely due to bigotry, as has been displayed in tons of blake's posts regarding the Ewe Ess Eh.

I prefer to refer to it as xenophobia these days.

Blakey has a huge chip on his shoulders and quite often posts his insular opinions without pausing to think first, I thought he might have mellowed a bit by now but alas....

It isn't so much insular as rabid hate-mongering.

Pretty scary, really.
 
Are you spastics still discussing this?

It's called the English Premier League to distinguish it from the Scottish Premier League. thus EPL and SPL. The top flight Scottish league was using the word "Premier" long before the FA and the heavyweight clubs decided to break away from the Football League and took the title for themselves.

feckwits!

Long live the EPL.

no its not
 
EPL or the Premiership or TEP or the Premier League... who cares? as long as people understand it then it should be ok.
 
Sky Sports also sends it out as "the English Premier League" or "EPL".

Like it or not, folks, that's how the league is marketed outside of Shilpaland.
 
what would you do if your daughter married an Irishman and had a large family ?

It's not though. And if you're honest with yourself, joining with the rest of Ireland makes sense. Back to how it was and all that.

Not really all that hungry.

Got a sinus infection, I can hardly find the energy to drink water.

But I'll gladly giggle at you for a bit if you don't mind.

yeah but what if he was a Galway shopkeeper, according to you they are all sectarian bigots who won't serve people with northern Irish accents ?

I don't remember saying they all were.

I dare say there are decent people there, I just haven't met one yet.

well lets say then that the shopkeeper you encountered was a sectarian bigot,

how do you think he came up with the assumption that you were a northern protestant, it couldn't have been just to do with your accent, for all he knew you could have been an Antrim GAA fan ?
