Hello, welcome to Propaganda, our weekly tour of the football fan channels.

It returns for 2026.

In your podcast, snap, if you would like to listen. and on YouTube, if you would like to watch as well. 2026, New Year, renewal, reinvigoration, training, improvement. A new residential property dispute for you to get your teeth into. Maybe. I mean, don't start one. But if you've got one ongoing, I know to speak to.

Who's that? Levi's Solicitor. Yep, there is a 10% discount on your legal fees on Levi's full range of services, which include wills, conveyancing. I mean, a lot of people do move house in the new year, so legit, look it up. Lasting powers of attorney. And yeah, if you want get into an argument with your neighbours.

I'll rather, if you want one resolving.

If you want one resolving, that's what it's all about. Yeah. Speak to Levi's solicitors. You will get full details and terms on the website, which is Levi's solicitors.com. UK, forward slash the square ball. Yeah, it's Dan, Michael and Dean on propaganda. What have we found from the fan channels? Well, before you go any further, right? Like, imagine this is a nice high-class restaurant, and I am the matre d, sat you down, and you're like, ah, we don't want to start, we don't want a starter. Let's just get straight onto the main course. And I say, sir, just hold, just pop yourself down in the chair there. Here's a little Amu's bouch for you. Ruben Amarin has turned this football club round. Has that not? Wet your appetite ready for the main course? I think people may have known it was coming. Very much the bread on the table when you're on holiday. If it's not there, you're a bit like, surely. It's beautiful bread, though. My compliments to the chef. It is nice. Yeah, we'll come on to all of that. Yeah, we've not done one of these in ages, and this one is obviously going to be very long. So I've had to largely dispense with some of the old games because stole news and there's new upsets and we've only got,

well, it's going to be over an hour, I would say, already.

So in the interest of getting this

edited and out in time for the Newcastle game,

we're going to be cutting this down a little bit.

So we'll...

The last propaganda we did was on Wednesday,

the 17th of December and we've since played Palace, Sunderland, Liverpool, Man United, and it's Newcastle tonight.

So yeah, this has been recorded ahead of Newcastle.

So how do we navigate the Christmas period?

Well, how do you do that in your – how do we put ourselves in your hands? Well, the thing is, a lot of draws in there. Lead the way, Michael. So there's been a lot of, ah, bah, you know, it's not great, but they're going on from people. Obviously, we did beat Palace for one. So maybe we... Do you want to start with that one? Yep. So we'll go to, we'll go to Ben plus Stan, CPFC. This is a dad and lad doing a road trip together, all this sort of stuff. So it should be quite wholesome. Yeah. But the dad just says the kid's name all the time. And it really, really grated on me. So this was, you'll hear it now. This is like

the opening eight and nine seconds probably of the vlog. I've not edited this. This is as it went

out. Let's go, Stan. Lees away. He's away. Got the tickets here, Stan. What about this

fixture we went to last time, Stan. That's a lot.
