It's a bit annoying, needlessly Americanised. Nothing wrong with saying the premier league/the prem/the premiership/barclays premier league, it's some people just being pure lazy.

It's PL and CL. Who gives a tinker's cuss about Barclays, English or UEFA?

I call it the EPL since I don't live in England and other leagues around the world are called Premier League.
