PLENTY to get into this week. We kick things off with the aftermath of 10-man Manchester United knocking Arsenal out of the cup (with a Havertz howler helping them on their way). We then look back on our some of our own memories of the early rounds of the FA Cup, reflect on Moyes and Potter returning to the league and close things out with some bold predictions. Indulge!

HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us here. We have plenty to get into today. We discuss the controversy regarding Gordon's goal against Tottenham and Ange's comments after the game. We then discuss the 3pm slate and Pep's quotes on Grealish/Savinho. The dodgy penalty in the Arsenal game is next on the agenda and then we cover the 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Manchester United before picking our Super Bowl winners.
