As we hurtle towards the end of the season (doesn’t it seem like we just started last August?) this is as good a time as any to ask (and try to answer) some questions about the Premier League.

Vexing, confusing questions like why Bafana Bafana striker (wunderkind aka “he-who-can-do-no-wrong”) Benni McCarthy is earning £40000 a week at West Ham. I mean, he’s not exactly in peak condition - far from it. There are any number of strikers in the League I’d rather buy… But maybe it will all work out for the Upton Park crowd - I’m surprised Blackburn managed to offload him in the first place!
