cfcmagpies Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 America has the World Series for Baseball which I believe (although I may be wrong) only contains teams from the USA and one from Canada. Haven't we had this same conversation dozens of times? Yes. That was for sponsorship reasons though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It really annoys me talk like that, why should they jump straight into the championship? If they were to come to the English leagues (and I still wouldn't want them to), they should start right at the very bottom. Sure, just like any other team. Is the problem that Celtic/Rangers are Scottish? What about Swansea and Cardiff, they are Welsh. I agree they should f*** off as well It just seems a bit daft calling it the English Premier League when teams from Wales are playing in it. Don't get me wrong I like the Welsh teams. It's not called the English Premier League. It's called the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they dropped English from it a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only non-English people call it the "English" Premier League. Which is probably the majority of people who follow the league... My point is, the Premier League is the "English" league as the Bundesliga is the German league as La Liga is the Spanish league. The difference being the latter two are majority German and Spanish players, respectively. Anyhow, this is all fairly moot I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The idea of a Scottish club moving in to the English league system is ridiculous when their independence could be just around the corner. Scotland has to say no before the question of the old firm joining the English league system is raised again imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will the cheats have their titles and cups and medals confiscated for all the cheating stuff? It would be only fair after all, seems they've been cheating for years and years. Not surprised tbh, always thought they were arrogant gits as a neutral. Had some good players like, but then they could always find the money for them somehow. Fuck fucking Rangers, hope they disappear down the plughole now I think about it. They've been screwing the taxpayer, i.e. me and you, well me anyway, for all those years. They're on my shitlist now along with bastard Vodafone and the rest. Scots cunts. OK, bedtime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "English" Premier League is necessary given the multitude of Premier Leagues in other countries. (ie Scotland) Same would go for the Bundesliga to avoid confusion with the Austrian one.

It's pretty simple mate, the 'English' refers to the location in which it is played, England. Not to the nationality of the players. The fans are English, the stadiums are English, the history is English. Fucking simple stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
