    Or even if we don’t...

    Could we stop referring to it as the ‘premiership’?

    It’s just the premier league. Hasn’t been called the premiership for well over a decade.

    It probably shouldn’t grind my gears so much when people call it that. But it does...

    Call it what you want.

    We have a tough fight in the play offs, assuming we get there. We will have 4 tough teams to play if we do. That is a one if four chance.

    Enjoy it.

    We will only have to play 2 teams in the playoffs to get promoted will we not?

    It's like people who say Tannoy when they mean public address system. Tannoy is a brand name.

    Don’t mind Tannoy or even Hoovering up. Brands that become synonymous with a product is just a sign of success.

    But after mentioning that UAT Testing wound me up the other week at work, a colleague laughed and pointed out that everyone enters their PIN Number into the ATM Machine.

    And yes it is indeed the EPL, and I reckon I’m probably guilty of using that other word sometimes.

    It must be an age thing whereby you can’t keep up with name changes so just go back to what you know.
    I was ok with The League Cup becoming The Milk Cup. Even Rumbelows Cup and Littlewoods Cup. But I have totally lost track now, so it is just back to League Cup when I talk about it.
    Same with pubs in town. I often go for a pre-match breakfast and pint in ‘Martin Raymond’s’ haha.

    The EPL is all about branding so referring to it incorrectly is to be encouraged.

    Eponyms.

    Reminds me of a Lee and Herring sketch where one is picking up the other over the use of Frankenstein:
    "It's Frankenstein's monster. Frankenstein is the creator."
    "Oh," says the other, "and what is this?"
    "A Hoover."
    "No, it's a vacuum cleaner made by Hoover, and what are these?"
    "Wellingtons."
    "No, they're rubber boots invented by the Duke of Wellington, and what is this?"
    "A sandwich."
    "No, it is a filling between two slices of bread invented by the Earl of Sandwich."

    Funny because we all have double standards when it comes to our pedantry.

    I've never owned a Hoover, yet call the process of vacuuming the carpets Hoovering.
