This is shaping up to be the most bonkers season in Premier League history — and I’m loving the drama. We’ve witnessed goals galore and ridiculous results, rotten defending and rank goalkeeping.
Maybe there is an element of schadenfreude to my enjoyment. In my playing days, I’d prey on the schoolboy mistakes these defenders are making. But I can’t recall it being as bad across the board as it is now.
Watching Manchester City concede five to Leicester, Manchester United six to Tottenham and Liverpool seven to Aston Villa, it hammers home the achievement of Chelsea in 2004-05.
