One good thing about it would be the would all become plurals. Is a football team singular or plural? Should it be Man U is the champions or are the champions?

I noticed sky use Coach in their captions instead of Manager.
Is this new or have i not noticed it before?

The term has been Head Coach for years. There's no real "managers" anymore. Just teams of coaches.

Chelsea Chequebooks has a nice factual ring to it.

We've got an ever better sporting legacy, so no thanks.

How about the Tottenham Chokers? Or the Stoke City Hoofers?

PEDs??

PEDs are for Major League Baseball and Richard Sherman!  

I wouldn't say that NFL & NHL players don't use help to get over bangs and knocks but I don't think everybody does. I mean, these guys take so much punishment even I would consider taking some sort of illegal painkiller or muscle healer if I played.

how are tottenham chokers?

Seriously?

because of one defeat to fulham? if losing one winnable game and dropping one place defines choking, than we need to assess the definition or look at the entire league, because most of them will be "chokers"

and this was in just a single season. if this happened year on year, then fair enough. if youre gunna label us anything, then its nearly men. i think weve done alright considering most of the top 6 have around 100m to spend every season

No, because every year they spend most of their time taunting Arsenal with 'mid the gap' jokes, only to always chuck the CL spot away come season close. Hence the 'chocking cockerels' joke.

British identity doesn't need any Americanism/s. We deal with our own.
