We are back for 2024 with an explanation for our long absence. And the Premier League is back for the new year following an FA Cup weekend, but unfortunately only half of it as the other half grabs a nice winter break. Week 1 of this new winter half-hybernation sees a relegation 6 pointer, a West London Derby, an important moment for Everton and Aston Villa's season ambitions, and the potential goal-fest that is Man United v Spurs. We also take a look at the Championship action this weekend to fill the void left by only half the Prem teams playing. So sit back, relax and get ready for a wonderful weekend of football.

This episode is dedicated to the best most goodest boy to ever walk through Adam's house and right into his heart. Rest in peace, sweet Teddy. I'll always hold onto you.
