I'm sitting here at work with my collegues making an attempt to sell some woodburning stoves when the topic goes to lasst nights footie game and particularly one star player. Sir Alex Ferguson has coined the term “The White Pele” for Wayne Rooney. Sir Alex executive of worldwide successful Manchester United has borrowed the phrase from the 1970’s and 80’s white Brazilian superstar Zico. Naturally to be compared against a Brazilian and in particular the best soccer player to have enhanced the planet, Pele, is a massive honour.

There has not been a season in recent memory which has witnessed such a close title race in English football in over a decade or more. Since the advent of the English Premier League, most seasons have seen the competition reduced to a two horse race or either one of Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal dominating the rest of the division. Fortunately for fans of the league, this season has provided more twists and turns than can be afforded a donut. The result is a sweet concoction of action, drama, irony and incredible stories for the media and fans alike.
