Just read the entry about Arsenal FC. and want to ask if
we could use British English sports terminology when referring to British football teams instead of U.S. sports terminology?
E.g. "Arsenal have won..." (UK), and not "Arsenal has won ..." (USA).
I'm not sure why but I think it's because in common parlance, its the team of players (ie players being plural) that's being referred to, and not the club or team (both singular). PhilH22 (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
