Deuce Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 If they're genuinely invested in the team, I don't see why it matters. The exception being obvious glory-hunters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I don't "support" any European sides, but there are sides that I want to do well (Juve, for example). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I don't "support" any European sides, but there are sides that I want to do well (Juve, for example). I consider myself a fan of other teams that I just like or watch out for their results, but don't consider myself a supporter unless I actively do what I can to support the team. I'd consider myself a supporter of Hertha Berlin because I go to games when I can, make an effort to watch as many games as I can, but a fan of little old Elgin City because I just keep an eye on their results from afar.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Probably been mentioned before but media in general. Exhibit A: Yeah until it came back to Kilbane saying he will leave and the presenter talking about money again, despite Rafa saying the exact opposite.

ponsaelius Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Not that it's really worth getting irritated about. It's just a brand name anyway. Colloquialisms are fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Aye I've just been reading up on it, sponsorship names. Pretty sure I can remember calling it the Premier League back when I was younger though so the 2 must have been interchangeable, unless my memory is fucked up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, don't know why people would get so worked up about something like that. Its like if someone was complaining about people calling the stadium St James' Park when it was named the "Sports Direct Arena" a few seasons ago. TRon calling it "the premier" on the other hand, annoys me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between a league and a division? I can't be sure, I've always thought that technically a league is classed as the whole set of divisions within it. e.g. The Football League.

geordiesteve710 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Tbf, I'm sure league is incorrect too, and it should be named a division not a league. Premier League is a completely separate entity to the Football League since the top clubs broke away in 92. Fwiw I still call the Championship Division Two. Illogical I know, but it's the second tier of football in England and shouldn't be glamourised/hyped as if it's anything more than that imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Pundits sitting on the fence. Just seen Shearer and Wright totally avoid the question of Wenger staying or going, and it was quite irritating. It's a game of opinions, you're paid to give an opinion, give it. Just say why you have come to that decision. Shearer's allowed to like cause he's Shearer. He can do what he wants. :iamatwat: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That's why I find watching La Liga and Serie A so refreshing as none of the commentators have any allgencies so will speak freely about players and managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
