Not just a manager but a politician as well.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

Really should read League titles.. and not Premiership or Premier league titles.. Only 5 teams I think have won the Premiership

Hmm I think they should all just be called league titles, there was football before the prem, despite what SKY would have us believe...

Re: Football Season 2011/12

The Premier League does serve as a useful milestone in when football became a commercial giant and had a big increase in popularity. It's not just the case that the name of the league changed, a different type of league took it's place. Hence the dominance of certain teams who were well positioned to take advantage of the massive revenues generated in the last 15 years.

No one's denying any of that, it's just if you're a teenager today you could be forgiven for thinking football started in this country in 1993

Agreed. It's more accurate to say "United have won more league titles than Liverpool" instead of "United have won more Premiership titles than Liverpool".

Re: Football Season 2011/12

To put another point forward. There was a premier league before the "English Premier league", in scotland.

Of course, as soon as England renamed their league, Premier league became synonymous with English league.

Gripe over

Will you stop agreeing with me... people will start thinking that I'm "The" Kym

As for the Premier(ship) League it is so different than the old Division 1 that I don't think a title 30 years ago is comparable to a title these days.. The teams, players and the rules are a lot tougher and professional.

Agreed. I'm not one who thinks the good old days was best. Some of the football I seen 30 years ago was dire. And that was when my team was winning.

My lasting memory was going to a Hibs match (though I'm a Jambo) and watching a certain george Best play his first game for Hibs. That taught me what real football was about, made the rest seem pretty crap.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

Just to add my two pennies worth:

The "Premiership" is a rugby union league. The top flight of English football is called the Premier League, not Premiership and has been for about 4 years now. So please stop calling it the latter. Thank you.

The names part of it's history.. but unlike the change from Division 1 there was a lot less change when it stopped being the Premiership and is now The Premier League..

But as this is a football thread and not a Rugby thread I don't think it'll be confused, also try typing in Premiership into any search engine and tell me what's the top 3 results

Re: Football Season 2011/12

Indeed, on a more serious note rather than the usual anti-Liverpool banter. There is no doubt they have terrific fans home & away and they truly deserve Premierleague glory.

One of my favourite moments in football involves Liverpool which I'm sure everyone will remember as possibly the greatest football match in recent history or of all time! Liverpool 3p-3 AC Milan

I bet somewhere.. Sir Alex was on his feet!
