It's the PREMIER LEAGUE

Wasn't there something about managers being requested to call it the Barclays Premier League in official interviews?

Not just Managers but even Sky and pundits alike. Rightly so too - if youre paying millions you want it to be said at every opportunity and not just written down behind some Manager at his press conference.

I'm not blaming anyone, I just don't like referring to competitions by their sponsor

I can't understand, and respect that. I'll make sure to refrain from using the B word around these parts.

Every station in America - ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, etc... all call it the Barclays Premier League almost every time they mention it. Many, like Ian Darke, call it the Premiership as well.

Well, to be fair, it does read as "Barclays Premier League" pretty much everywhere - even the official website for the league. Nowhere, that I've found, on that website does it read "ENGLISH FA PREMIERSHIP LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY sponsored by BARCLAYS "

Given that, could you really blame someone for assuming it's the BPL?

It's actually the FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF ENGLAND JERSEY GUERNSEY AND THE ISLE OF MAN ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP JULES RIMET CHALLENGE TROPHY CUP sponsored by BARCLAYS PUBLIC LIMITED VINCENT COMPANY

But I didn't want to list all that in fear of causing confusion.
