In 1996 Premier League benches were extended to five subs per team.

We are now at a bloated nine subs, with five allowed over 90 minutes .

This means more disjointed games, a greater advantage to the bigger clubs with greater squad depth and extra admin work for anoraks who still compile statistics by hand.
