Summary

This week Joe Thomlinson and Patrick van Straaten chew over the Christmas fixtures to discuss which teams, managers, and players have enhanced or damaged their reputations over the festive period.

Could Frank be sacked? Is Kieran Tierney better than Roberto Carlos? It's all here.

0:18.4	glad it's 2021 I can't lie I've just heard the news that the first Oxford vaccine's been stuck in some old geezers
0:25.1	arm so I'm feeling pretty positive today.
0:28.0	Did you end up having a coronavirus over Christmas because there was a concern at one stage. There was a
0:33.0	concern it was a negative coronavirus test. There's been a few coronavirus victims

1:38.1	Should we move on then because obviously the Premier League has had an extremely busy Christmas period and there have been loads of stories thrown up.
