It annoys me people who call it the "eircom", suffice to say these people are normally barstoolers or foreigners.

I call it the EL, but i'm no barstooler.

Read the banner at the top of this page: http://www.premierleague.com/

The fans don't call it that, but the official line uses the sponsor. Listen to Sky's ads for the Premiership too - they'll use the sponsor's name. You tune it out because "the Premiership" is a strong brand in its own right, but it's there. Now, what the fans call it is another matter, and your point is taken.

I was working for eircom when they started sponsoring the league and we all got a missive instructing us to encourage everyone to call it the eircom League. I was chuffed with this as straight away the other 12,000 eircom staff now at least knew the league existed!

I call it the eircom League in all official stuff and err the eircom League in unofficial stuff too.

It is definitely not the Irish League you might as well call it the bloody Bundesliga as call it that!
