Legendary football journalist Paddy Barclay and football writer Wayne Barton explore the Premier League era, dedicating time to some of the great teams and players, and aiming a forensic microscope over some of the most fascinating stories of the times. Arsenal won the double in impressive fashion - Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira in particularly imperious form. Liverpool continued their progression under Gerard Houllier, while Leeds continued to spend big. So too did Manchester United, breaking their transfer record twice before the season began. Premier League newcomers Fulham made waves while Sam Allardyce's Bolton made quite an introduction.
