Hey Nick, just noticed on your prediction league that Portsmouth and Burnley are listed as FC Burnley and FC Portsmouth.....very American!

Did they change their name officially to those above or is it just the permeation of the US nomenclature onto the UK?

Don't know about you Houch, but I do NOT like that way of describing the team(s). It's as bad as the Yanks call themselves Team USA and describe Team England and Team Canada. YUK! Hate it. Portsmouth Football Club and Burnley Football Club is what it should be. My local team (although it's 100 miles away) is Toronto FC. Nothing wrong with that eh?

It is just the way it is on the data feed that gets the scores

Hmmm. Their 'Official' sites still list them as Burnley FC and Portsmouth FC.

Nick how did you manage to get to be heading the prediction league? This smacks of inside information/match fixing!
