So listen, how's your Christmas shopping going? You haven't started yet, have you?

Well, fear not, the big interview is here to help solve all your problems.

For the football fans in your life, here's three stocking fillers.

Firstly, the documentary film of my book, Barsa, The Making of the Greatest Team in the World,

is now available everywhere on DVD and digital download.

Take the ball, past the ball ball is the definitive story we like

to say of the greatest football team ever assembled and features exclusive

interviews with Barce's stellar cast of current and ex-players including that gizer, Lionel Massey,

Chavi, Andesen Esther, Terry Henry, Danny Avis, Gerard Pique,

Karas Puyall and Sergio Buskets, plus a rare exclusive contribution from Pet Guareola himself.

There, that's that one present sorted.

Secondly, my old charm and fellow dandy Jonathan Northcroft has a new book out published by a back page, these marvelous people that bring you, the books, the podcasts.

It's called Dead Lines and Darts with Delhi and it's Jonathan's World Cup diary from Russia last summer

and it's essential reading for the football fan in your life. Finally check out

another backpage book Football 2.0 how the world's best play their modern game by Grant Wall.

Through extensive interviews with one player in every key position on and off the pitch,

Grant breaks down the technical and tactical revolutions which have transformed football.

So there you have it.

Take the ball past the ball, deadlines and darts with Delhi football 2.0.

That's not only difficult to say. It's Christmas sorted courtesy of your friends at the big interview.

Your ho ho ho welcome. It's part two of the Q&A, trademark. Pin your ears back because from now on in we're going to discard the cable tossing, the ice skating and the underwater basket leaving. It's football football football.

From now on.
