The Fiver’s a bit bleary eyed. Our weekly
Premier League Years marathon started on Tuesday morning and despite staying up all night we’re still only on 2008-09: fact. It means we’ve only just caught up with the Big Cup action. There were a whopping 36 goals in eight games, it says here. That’s 4.5 per match, another reminder that defending is going the same way as democracy, dignity and the private digital conversation. So far it’s been a triumphant Big Cup season for our brave boys. Liverpool’s 5-0 shellacking of Atalanta and Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Olympiakos mean that, in this season’s competition, English clubs have a combined record of P10 W9 D1 L0 F28 A2. How d’ya like that fruit and veg, “Europe”?
