But it's all about hype, that is my point. If they called it coca cola division 2 it wouldn't sound anywhere near appealing, similar to the prem - if that was still called division 1 it wouldn't sound anywhere near as appealing as English Premier League. In fact the initial name(the Premiership) has even changed, can't see any reason why it needs yet another name change other than to hype it even more.

With all the hype surrounding the EPL I'm surpried it isn't sponsored by Nike, marriage made in heaven IMO (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I've always called it the EPL, whic to me doesn't sound the most attractive name. In fact, the name, The English Premier League, sounds quite old fashioned, more like what a rugby league would be called!

It's all well and good calling fans in this country stupid. But what's so stupid about going to support your local team? It's something that most other leagues would dream of, having 30,000+ fans every week.
