Yeah I got that, it's just an attempt to make the top division sound more exciting by giving it a silly name, thereby us lower down the pyramid end up with our division being named something which is in no way representative of it's status. | |

Yes, but one in which Mark Fish may not have looked so out of place (or plaice) as that half he was in a Town shirt at QPR... | |

Connor Salmon may have been more useful too. Matt Pilchards? I'll get my coat. [Post edited 24 Jan 2020 12:09]

I like how the Conference is now called the National League, despite the fact it’s Non-League. | |

Stupid use of "League" in the name of divisions on 13:12 - Jan 24 with 1859 views | Radlett_blue | Yes, I know the Premier League is effectively the old First Division of the Football League, but the clubs did break away from the old Football League so they are legally separate entities & it was initially called "The FA Premier League". Calling the old "2nd division" now the "Championship" & the 3rd tier being called League One is even sillier. | |

But surely we've just been relegated back to the division of Sir Alf's great triumph, no? | |

Yes, but the definition of a championship is winning the top division, no? Regardless of what division 2 is branded as these days! | |

Well I've learned something today. I have always held that title in contempt since I learned that 20,000 leagues is 60,000 miles so figured the author was a bit dumb or wasn't aware of the Earth's diameter. I now know the title refers to the distance travelled whilst under the seas, (and not 'sea' as the translation from French would have had me believe). I feel better informed so thanks for posting. | |

That is quite informative, thank you. I too, was labouring under that misapprehension. | |

The older pundits who played before the Premier League was created eg. Lineker, Lawrenson sometimes ask on MOTD "Who's going to win the Championship - Man City or Liverpool?" They can't help it but it always amuses me. In their day the Championship meant Division 1 winners. | |

Yes indeed. Do you too have a list of such frustrating annoyances and inconsistencies pinned to your wardrobe door? I have gratefully struck through the 'Twenty thousand leagues under the sea' entry, thanks to your valued intervention. | |

Of course. I have those sticky post-it notes on display everywhere full of things that irritate. Actually, I write this stuff down the moment they enter my head and start to bother me. I have so many on the inside of my car's windscreen I can sometimes barely see where I'm going. | |

I don't think that would work very well on my Puch Maxi N! Hah-ha-ha. [rolf] Oh dear, that didn't work! Have I got the wrong one? [gary] No, oh well. [Post edited 24 Jan 2020 14:25]

It brings to mind a peom by a chap called Lord Alfred Tennis HALF a league, half a league,    Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death    Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!' he said: Into the valley of Death    Rode the six hundred' I believe that was the time the league was sponsored by Canon, as in Canon to the right of them etc I believe the charge was led by a chap wearing a cardigan, who was also a lord - but it doesn't say how much the charge was. | | | |
