You are correct, that is exactly how I understood his statement. It is nothing to do with EPL. Many names of top Euro comps translate into English equally as Premier or as First, since the Latin root of "first" is, well, 'primus'.

For the same reasons"Prime Minister" in many countries is called the "premier" and that includes state government level in Australia.
