The correct name is The Premier League or Barclays Premier League depending on how important it is to you to mention the sponsor.
For what its worth David Pleat aka Punch was asked about us on Keys and Gray,and said its vital they stay in the division as their next crop of youngters are better than this current crop and could develop into a good team.

I noticed they got knocked out of the FA Youth cup at the 1st attempt 4 0 against Peterborough last Tuesday
FFS. Our beloved club is on the brink of relegation and we're bickering over what to call the Premier League? It will be academic to us from next season in any event.
The academy at the Villa is bloody good when you see how many have come through. The players in the first team are going through a tough spell as they are all playing together against seasoned professionals at other clubs.When you look at the quality that have made our first team or moved on to play in other teams it's a bloody good hit rate.
have the pedantic police gone yet?can we not just judge the players who came from the academy on their own merits. Most of them are more than experienced now to be judged on their own merits rather than trying to bring in Dunne, Warnock, McLeish etc into every thread. A lot of you seem to be going off on tangents. This is the poorest Aston Villa side many of us can recall yet many of these 'kids' still cant hold down regular slots and many of their performances have been downright appalling in terms of quality.Some of our younger players (they are far from kids) are so technically and tactically poor, it has me wondering about the quality of coaching they have been receiving at Bodymoor Heath.
