Campaign Against Use of the Term 'EPL'

[more lazy than useless]

Can I just say what about the word SOCCER ?

*runs and hides*

I'm thinking of starting up my own campaign against the use of the 'Premier League'. It's Division One ffs.

Sign me up.

Don't know why people get all upset over the word soccer either.

Hey Stu. Perhaps this is yank talk and won't translate but I will give it a try. Fuck you.

That's exactly what it is, and its what it should be called, that way league one, wouldn't be the third division.

 

[mancityvstoke]

It's always been League Division One and always will be

fuck the premier league

Yet another phrase exported by the English and blamed on the 'Yanks'.

Barclays got quite pissed off with all the managers earlier this season, having spent millions sponsoring the Premier League, nobody was saying Barclays. If you watch any of the managers press conferences now, they always say Barclays Premier League, even the most stuborn fuckers like Baconface, McCarthy, Holloway etc.

I've just seen another person using this term on the forum. I know I'm not the only one who finds this really irksome. I'm pretty certain that this is Yank talk, and I am strongly opposed to this moronic influence coming into use in England.

Does anyone on here say 'SLL' or 'Spanish La Liga'? No.

Does anyone on here say 'ISA' or 'Italian Serie A'? No.

Does anyone on here say 'German Bundesliga'? No.

So by this (sensible) logic, the only correct term is 'Premier League'. After all, there is no other Premier League to confuse it with, so why specify that it is English? Like I said above, we don't need to specify Italian or Spanish or German. Likewise we don't need to specify English.

I can understand people abbreviating it to 'PL'; but never 'EPL'.

You tell 'em Stuuuuuu...

And again...

It's a term used by either foreign fans, new fans of football or the Sky TV generation, for those reasons I never use it and back your campaign wholeheartedly.
