Grammatically correct: When referring to a club by name is it singular or plural?

Over the past week alone I keep seeing people trying to correct askers of questions when they put is/are or do/does in front of the club name. So which is correct?

Or does it even matter really?


Q2: When people say BPL, is it possible they are calling it "British" PL instead of Barclays?
Here is Magno trying to correct me from Does to Do: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AngQlnK3IfTEZz0X3R0qrj_ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20110222115354AArJfsO

And here is Sarcastically Speaking correcting from Are to Is: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqWpOeRzc9XvFJfstSaef8MIDX1G;_ylv=3?qid=20110227132645AAGs9vs

If you ask me, like I said to Magno, the club is a singular collective now so you should use the singular verb in front.
*singular collective noun.

touzie I'm sure you'd be the first to recognize that since diversions from Liverpool are your specialty ;)
