Another packed fixture list over the festive break with some surprising results. This is your weekly fix of fun-packed entertainment from the world of football. Everyone is a few pounds heavier and creaking the floor boards this week are @RickyGroverUK, @virtualash, @Duah101, @ZaneGroves1 and @7RobLee, back together in the D2 studio.

New year. New laughs. Back from the food and drink, the gang get stuck in to some talk about each other's dress codes! The guy's proper kick-off with the first topic of 2018. Is José Mourinho and his frustrations the start of the end for the Special One? Plus Virgil Van Dijk's signing for Liverpool at a collosal fee. @ZaneGroves1 asked @Duah101 is it right for the ban for kids to head the ball. We find out @7RobLee has a man crush on Dwayne Johnson. And, our very own 'Rock' @RickyGroverUK tells how he nearly got hit by the bus outside the studio. Join us for a packed episode with fascinating views on the beautiful game, boxing and entertainment with so much, much more. Follow us on social media where you can tweet us using #TheRealOffside.
