Happy new year listeners from Lynsey Hooper, Hayley McQueen and Kait Borsay. If you've emerged from your turkey-induced slumber and need to know what did (and didn't) make the headlines over the new year, look no further. We catch up on the festive footy and reveal the results of our December predictions - which of our trio got every darn thing right? It's 2017 and the diet plans are already on hold.. time to talk Chinese takeaways. With the mega-nation seemingly wanting to buy everything in English football, what else can we offload to them for the right price? 30 minutes of listening pleasure, brought to you by Offside Productions.
