I have just seen an absolute corker (a real howitzer (of sorts) ) of a video sent out by the boys at the English FA who those of us of a certain level of intelligence (that rules a few of you boys out hehe) know and love.

Anyway that's by the by. It featured the captain in all of our eyes Lallana and that pile of dross Henderson.

And the thing is, what it was, it was some sort of bizarre wrapping challenge in an attempt to get all those Christmas grinches in the festive spirit I suppose (though I don't know why anyone wouldn't just stick on the classic Chrimbo film, Jim Carrey's Bruce Almighty, in an attempt to get the sweet zeitgeist that we all so desire) .

Of course Master Cruyff won as he is far superior to the useless team-mate of his, and it's fair to say the Mackem was absolutely fuming at the decision to award the victory on a judges decision, though I must say he was lucky that his corner didn't throw the towel in.

I'm surprised he didn't try to pass the gift wrap either sideways or backwards or in some such similar direction.

Anyway I just thought I'd offer my two pennies worth on our lads appearing in the festive video and to take the time out from my schedule to wish the brilliant editors on this site (and the rest of you, mind) a very merry christmas and to thank them for their endeavours once again this year. A great community this is and they do a fine job of keeping it that way. I've actually got plans to spend Christmas with the mayor of my city, oooooo look at me.
