Harry in position to crash the party

ENGLISH football, so deeply entrenched in tradition and history, is beginning to unravel in this most remarkable of seasons after Tottenham’s memorable comeback at the Emirates hinted at the possibility of a new world order in the Premier League.

In 18 years since the competition was revamped, only four clubs – including interlopers Blackburn – have lifted the trophy and despite the emergence of Chelsea under the guidance of billionaire Roman Abramovich, traditionalists have taken comfort in the fact that the status quo has largely remained intact.

Well, not any more.
