Matt talks to SCOTT MURRAY about football before the Premier League in his book THE TITLE. It's a detailed history of the first division from its inception and is illuminating in how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. The league format of every team plays each other home and away now seems so obvious and is used by sports around the world but was not the only option considered when the league began. Also, why they were switching fixtures in the 1930s at a day's notice and why substitutions were initially viewed with suspicion.
