The Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stéfano used to say: “A game without a goal is like a day without sunshine.” There was no sun spotted on English shores as Storm Boelo washed across the nation, coating every match in a wall of rain powered by an unrelenting wind. But, fortunately for those of a Di Stéfano persuasion, there was only one 0–0 draw.
Some managed to tiptoe between the raindrops while others were caught in the deluge on a Premier League weekend which could have lasting ramifications.
