Just when we thought we’d escaped the Grinch at Christmas, the Super League came back through the window with a thud bearing gifts and all. A new, 64-team format has been proposed by A22 - the company behind it all - which would see it replace the current European competitions, and would involved relegations and promotions based on merit. So, is the Super League back for good or is it time we saw the back of the it all? We’ll be back on December 27th so until then, have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the festive period!

It was a story which Mystic Marley said was brewing under the surface, and it has now erupted. Steve Cooper has been dismissed from his role at Nottingham Forest with former Wolves manager Nuno Espírito Santo taking his place.

Plus we look at a horrific error from Onana - no, not the one you’re thinking of, but Everton’s Amadou Onana who missed his penalty which saw his side leave the Carabao Cup.

The Premier League title race seems to have a new horse leading the pack each week, and just before we reach the half-way point in the season we answer; who are the favourites to lift the trophy in May?

If you watched the full 90 minutes of Liverpool vs Manchester United, we’re sorry to break it to you, but you will never get that time back. It was a drab affair, with all of the main talking points being away from the game itself - and Joel is not happy at all with Virgil van Dijk. Another incident which had eyebrows raised was Michael Oliver’s late flurry of yellow cards which sent Diogo Dalot off the pitch, but was this the right decision from the referee?
