Is the change an insult to Welsh football teams in the English football pyramid?

Snap.

It's the English league. There's also a Welsh league. They're welcome to toddle off to that if they're getting precious about it.


So that's three of you in this thread, 4 if you want to include Plasjack, to point out where in this thread anyone has said that the English need us, or where the parody is. As Perchie stated.

Go.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

It's for "re-branding purposes" that "all fans will identify with". Good luck with that. I suppose the 'So-Called English Football League" (the SCEFL) isn't as catchy.

It's also historically inaccurate. The Southern League was set up to rival the one in the north and consisted of clubs from both Wales and southern England, and I think that there were several more Welsh clubs that have since gone out of business or been relegated - does anyone have a list of them? Consequently, we and the other Welsh teams became founding members when the leagues merged in the 1920s. So the Welsh clubs are in it by right, not by invitation.

Calm down. I was agreeing on the English league element. I try not to read scouses utterances too closely.
