FOR many years the Premier League has been dominated by the same four clubs which often led to more interest being shown in the relegation struggles rather than at the top end of the table.
However, with the recent decline of Liverpool it could be that the grip of the ‘Gang of Four’ is in danger of being broken.
Of course, back here in the North-East just when the Premier League starts to get interesting we only have one team in it.
Let’s hope that this is a one off with both Middlesbrough and Newcastle bouncing back this season.
