Done a bit of research

- The Premier League (officially known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons, colloquially known as The Premiership (especially outside the United Kingdom) -

I've only ever heard the term Premiership before this season - The pundits tis season HAVE to use the term Premier League so to me it seemed as if they had changed the name

When it first started it was called the Premier League. If memory serves Carling changed the name to the Premiership when they took over sponsorship from Barclays. I don't recall anybody referring to it as the 'premiership' coloquially or otherwise, before then.

I don't know what's wrong with Division One myself - which, ironically, is exactly where Southampton will be playing next year even though it's really division three.
