It is the Premier League, so call it the Premier League, it's not difficult. The money-grabbing breakaway is still vomit-inducing 30-odd years later. The Football League wanking away with ‘Championship’ and ‘League One’ just adds to the embarrassment - apparently no fucker can stand being second tier.

TOP Division = Premier League (that is a correct and accurate description) 2nd Division = 2nd Division (that is what it is, our 2nd Division. No DAFT non-descriptive meaningless and misleading name for me - ever) 3rd Division = 3rd Division (that is what it is, our 3rd Division. No DAFT non-descriptive meaningless and misleading name for me - ever) 4th Division = 4th Division (that is what it is, our 4th Division. No DAFT non-descriptive meaningless and misleading name for me - ever) These leagues ARE what they ARE, why give them meaningless 'other names' - they are what they are !!!

You can call it what you like but why use a 'meaningless' name instead of the name which describes what it actually is. You may as well call it 'Susan', equally non-descriptive and meaningless as 'Championship'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the lower leagues are called stupid names. But "The Premier League" was selected because "Division 1" sounded very unglamorous and they wanted to do a total rebrand. Which worked spectacularly as our league is the best in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 League is very compact still. Couple of wins puts them top 6, couple of losses and they're bottom half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 The 'Championship'/'2nd division' is actually the 'first' or 'top' division of the English Football League, so I always refer to it as the EFL Premier Division. Don't know why anyone would do differently tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
