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 BARS's stellar cast of current and ex-players including that giser, Lionel Massey,

Chavi, Andesen Esther, Terry on Reney, Danny Avis, Gerard Pique,

Karas Puyall and Sergio Busets, 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 Backpage, 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 the 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.

You're ho ho ho!
