Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Twitter has introduced hashflags for all of the Premier League’s teams, making discussions of the football on the site slightly more colourful.
Tweeting the short version of any team — listed in full below — in a hashtag will also bring up the club’s crest next to the name. Tweeting two teams will bring them both up, for easy marking of games and rivalries.
Twitter has taken to adding new hashflags for topical events. In the past, that has included everything from a moon to mark Ramadan, countries in the world cup and special emoji for the launch of Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood video and new Star Wars trailers.
In full, the hashflags for each Premier League team are:
#AFCB
#Arsenal
#AVFC
#CFC
#COYS
#CPFC
#EFC
#LCFC
#LFC
#MCFC
#MUFC
#NCFC
#NUFC
#SaintsFC
#SCFC
#SAFC
#Swans
#WatfordFC
#WBA
#WHUFC
Using #BPL will bring up the Barclays Premier League trophy. Using #FPL (presumably for Fantasy Premier League) will bring up the league’s logo.
Tweeting two teams next to each other will bring up both flags — but the longer hashtags need to be shortened — so #EFCLFC will bring up hashflags for the Merseyside Derby.
