By the way, I said PREM-E-AIR He clamied it was PREM-EAR, so I said he has to go into MacDee's and as for a "McChicken PREM-EAR" and see what he gets

According to the radio (Talk Sport) and Match Of The Day, the Premiership and Premier league are PREM-E-AIR-SHIP and PREM-E-AIR league/division

True (premyaship) but then I am spelling it phonetically. It ain't the fooking PREM-EAR-SHIP is it?

It's like Wednesday... You don't say WED-NES-DAY do ya?

well no your phonetic spelling is wrong then as prem-e-air-ship comes across as premiereship when its premiership. prem-ear-ship is more accurate.

your mate owns you
