rooster85 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Is there any Premier League Season Preview magazine in UK? You know, something with team rosters, team photos, maybe a couple of words about club situation etc, etc. I've sought here: http://www.soccer-books.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Foreign_2011_2012_Season_Preview_Magazines_115.html and found nothing. Bonus: picture of 1996/97 season preview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 They usually come free with newspapers in early August. The Guardian one is always fantastic in my opinion, you can find the 2011/12 preview online (in a slightly different format) here if you are interested. If you are looking to collect the books then make a post nearer the start of the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 22, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2012 Urgh... "Premier League" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think its perfectly fine to refer to the league as the Premier League if you dont live in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 22, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2012 Meh, it annoys me. We don't refer to the SLL or the ISA or the FL1 or the GBL. Is it because of the Scottish Premier League and the need to make a distinction between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's referred to as the Premier League pretty much everywhere outside the UK I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted May 22, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's just Premier League, like the English organising body is called the Football Association. It's one of the perks of inventing the sport and corruption of the name devalues it. Villa play in the Premier League, there is only one league called the Premier League in top flight football. It doesn't need a country put in front of it. The Scottish FA chose to call their league the Scottish Premier League, the FA chose to call their league the Premier League and people should respect that. Just like it's the FA Cup, Not the English FA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 And outside of England it is refered to as the English Premier League to avoid confusion with local leagues called the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted May 22, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 22, 2012 Name one other football league called the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Technically, the Maltese top division; that's just called "Premier League" (or BOV Premier League if you prefix the sponsor) though there are some unofficial colloquialisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 i think you'll find it's called the Barclays Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted May 22, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 22, 2012 I genuinely didn't know that, although I wouldn't class that as top flight football. I can't see that being a source of confusion to anyone, unless they live in Malta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster85 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Okkkk, back to the topic: I have a question about Four Four Two season preview. There's one with the August issue and second (update) in September with all the actual rosters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
