Rumours of a potential 7-0 turned out to be greatly exaggerated as Man United managed to get their act together and give Liverpool a real game under conditions that probably should have had the game called off.

After a 2-2 draw we try and work out what exactly made this game so different to the routine Liverpool hammerings in Anfield that United have faced over the last few seasons, and how much of it came down to Trent Alexander Arnold being shook up by a very disrespectful transfer offer over the Christmas break from Real Madrid?

Christmas may be over but the PGMOL gifted us VAR controversy galore with a nice mix of very strange incidents we've never seen before, and stonewall handballs that they decided not to give.

All things being fair and equal, Ange Postecoglu insists Tottenham would have won.

It looks like we'll be having some manager movement in the coming weeks as sacking rumours for West Ham and Everton have started to emerge, and NO David Moyes isn't interested ok!

It was Christmas Eve babe! It was Christmas Eeeeeeve baaabe!

Happy Christmas folks, enjoy a festive feast of football delight as we take a look back at Liverpool's "creamy" 6-3 win over the ever stubborn Ange Postecoglu's Tottenham Hotspurs.

Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are flying high halfway through the season and everyone is enjoying it except one particular Grinch.

Arsenal have eased their way into the no one cares zone as Gabriel Jesus resurrects their title hopes this Christmas period.

Things go from bad to worse at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's men look totally hopeless in a loss to Aston Villa. How do they turn this around apart from the obvious seemingly insane choice?

And so, the sun rises over Manchester, as a new false dawn beckons for Manchester United, but maybe, just maybe this one is for real..

The Manchester derby had an incredible last 10 minutes as United managed to comeback 2-1 against City, thanks to a moment of magic from Amad Diallo and a moment of madness from Nunes.

Before the game, Ruben Amorim made some big calls as he decided to leave Rashford and Garnacho at home, before going in to explicit detail on why exactly he made that decision.

Two sackings at the bottom of the table as Southampton and Wolves parted ways with their managers, but not before some incredible crashing out from both sides.

Chelsea continue to be must watch TV as they roll back the years with a team of individual brilliance. At the heart of this blockbuster entertainment is Cucurella, who had a game like only he can.

And finally, you've voted, you've dm'ed, you've posted your letters, the first result of NU METAL MONTH is here!

After Liverpool beat Man City 2-0, Pep Guardiola and his players have reached levels of rattled never previously thought possible. This time with Pep reminding Liverpool fans of how many leagues he's won.. we think?

Mo Salah continues to play his contract year perfectly, by very cleverly being arguably the best player in the world and reminding everyone of that fact week to week.

Man United's vibe stocks continue to rise, as they beat Everton 4-0. 
Things are looking good for the seemingly humble Ruben Amorim with goals from Marcus Rashford, but is it too late for the Rashford redemption arc?

Bournemouth's Kluivert made very odd history by scoring a hat trick of penalties thanks to a day to forget for Wolve's keeper José Sá.

It took around 12 or 13 gameweeks, but the Premier League OFFICIALLY kicked in to gear.

Ruben Amorim experienced his first official day on the job in a baptism of media fire. As he's interupted by superstar Ed Sheeran while trying to explaing why he can't change Man United instant.

Man City lost their 5th (5th!) game in a row. And Pep explains whats going on as only he can. Also what is up with him wanting to manage in League one?

Mo Salah, Liverpool legend, seemingly can't get a reply from the club about his contract as he tells the media he is 'more out than in' of the club at the moment.

What the hell is the Ballers league?

And so, the sun sets on another international campaign. Ireland had some highs and some REAL lows.

To see us out, Ireland were beaten 5-0 by colonial rivals England in Wembley after 20 minutes of madness which manager Heimir Halgrimsson described as 'giving up'. But for 45 glorious minutes we were right in that game!

We were right in that game until of course the VAR team bottled what looked like a stonewall penalty on Evan Ferguson. Cathal has seen enough and he has some thoughts to get off his chest.

Just before the show started recording news broke that Pep Guardiola has signed a one year contract extension at Man City, with the option of an additional year. We ask why now? And, does this mean what we all think this means regarding the 115 charges?

4 losses in a row Pep? 4? That's insane!

Things have gone from bad to historically bad as Pep Guardiola loses 4 games in a row for the first time in his managerial career as Man City lose 2-1 to Brighton.
Too many injuries at once? Or is a certain looming legal issue effecting the club?

We've all been there, sitting beside a stranger at 4am in their kitchen, wide eyed, telling them exactly what we think of that big German **** Jurgen Klopp Unfortunately for PGMOL official David Coote, his rant was videoed and leaked.

After more dropped points, this time in the form of a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, we don our vibes consultant caps and ponder, has Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side peaked already? And will they ever reach the dizzying heights it seemed they were destined for?

Finally, everyone's favourite segment song of the week which of course we all are familiar with.

All eyes were on Ireland it seemed this week as Damien Duff led Shelbourne to a historic League of Ireland win, just three seasons after promotion in a campaign which captured hearts around the world.

Fresh off of ignoring Duffers facetime post league win, Jose Mourinho was letting loose with an 8+ minute rant on VAR, the Turkish league, the stink of the place and everything in between.

In a surprising move Arsenal Director and primary Arteta backer Edu announced he is set to leave Arsenal for his dream job of taking Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos to new heights.

Is it time to tell who is going to win the Premier League?

And finally, thanks for coming Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but let that be the end of you and your ilk (successful club legends) at Man United.

Let it be known that nobody goes a full year with just one win in Europe and gets away with it at Manchester United!

Erik Ten Hag tenure as United manager finally came to an end after a 3 years of poor league results and great domestic success. We take a look back at where it all went wrong and ask how bad was he really?

It's a dark day for football as far as Real Madrid are concerned as Rodri wins the Ballon d'Or over Vinicius Jr.

Maybe it wasn't the "historic robbery" that has upset Madrid however, maybe it was getting hammered by Barcelona in the latest El Classico, a game which featured yet another Mbappé disasterclass.

Meanwhile, in the Premier League Liverpool and Arsenal played out the epitome of their new risk averse football in a game that was somehow filled with goals and also devoid of much excitement.
