Today is all about friends and family. It’s about sharing those treasured moments whilst black and white films and laboured Christmas specials play out in the background.

We shouldn’t be discussing Jamie Vardy’s hamstring with relative strangers over the internet.

Even so, we couldn’t let the day pass without popping by and wishing you and your families a very merry Christmas.

As always, myself and the team must extend a huge thank you for your outstanding support for the site and for your contributions in helping us maintain what we believe is one of the best football communities on the net.

Now you should really log off and go back to the family before the Call the Midwife special starts. Having said that, be sure to check in with us throughout the day as we roll out the Team News, Scout Picks, Captain Sensible and another batch of regulars prior to tomorrow’s deadline.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Kinda sad... my first ever top of page and it's the first comment on a thread telling us we're sad for logging on and discussing football with strangers.

      I feel so ashamed! Santa shouldn't have given me a FT for Xmas

      I'm watching my 5 year old daughter open her Xmas stocking whilst casually browsing FFS on my phone. I am only slightly ashamed.

              Slartibartifast (in German): Merry Christmas! (etc...)

              Argonought (remembering some German from school): Season's Greetings!

              Rukawa: Eh?

    Merry Crimbo to all....

    For Xmas i would like a cheap striker punt for a draft team....must be left field and must be nailed on.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm currently thinking Jordan Ayew !?

      Bojan is not bad as well

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years

        Decent shout. Villa have juicy next 3 compared to Stoke though....

          Bojan is +1 class at least than JAyew and playing for more atractive team imo.. play without pressure too πŸ˜‰

      I have Bojan for my draft team πŸ˜€
