Barclays and the Premier League – football’s unholy alliance

One of the main talking points so far this football season has been the potent “SAS” partnership of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge at Liverpool.
It has sparked much discussion about striking partnerships, which have become rarer in recent years since the 4-4-2 formation went out of fashion. However off the pitch, there has been hardly a murmur about a relationship that has endured for over a decade — Barclays and the Premier League.
