Also, Benitez gets sacked, Vardy puts his name in lights, and poor Seamus drinks his own urine – we hear it tastes just like PBR. Oh, and we review some organic, fair-trade, artisanal matches.

Competitive Imbalance in the Premier League – Good Read!

c88K3This week The Gaffers discussed a great article, recently published in The Economist. It was passed on to us by Honorary Gaffer, Dave, who gravitates towards the nerdier side of sports. It is a brave attempt to qualify and quantify the new competitive balance in the Premier League this year. We urge you crazy Gafferinos and Gafferinas to click and give it a perusal:
