Realise I'm nearly 30 years late making this point, but does this get up anyone else's nose? The term "League" means an entire pyramid. "The Premier League" is not a league. It is a division. Same applies for League One and League Two. What branding berk is responsible for this madness?
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.
