Thanjk you.

I know a load of Mancs who all say the same thing (it's a Manc trait - they have a certain line on an issue, normally Liverpool, that they all follow)....they have a problem with Liverpool fans/people/employees/players etc referring to us as 'Liverpool Football Club'. They claim it's a desperate attempt to add gravitas.
The scum took the words "Football Club" off their badge at some point in the 90's didn't they
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
And yep, it's crap. It's unnecessarily precise, doubtless to make up for the absence of insight.
Happens in golf and to a lesser extent in cricket. I hate it.

"Great golf shot!"
Drives me mad. Even my Dad occasionally says it when I'm playing with him. Aimed a wonderful 7 iron straight at the pin..."great golf shot!" - aaaarrrggghhh!!
Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
...And not to distinguish the club from some city with an otherwise rather similar name.
I hate the way Manchester United fans refer to their club simply as "United". OK, in Manchester it makes sense but to people from everywhere else it's just unthinking, insufferable arrogance.
Tell them from me to suck on that. W*nkers. No wonder they're so blind.

Dunno when but yes, thanks to a very poor marketing decision based on a superficial understanding (i.e. a fundamental misunderstanding) of brands.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

OK, maybe we can't pin it all on Gray (although I think we should keep trying) but the point about detail is relevant, even if it's not conscious.
