Fear and Loathing at The Lowry: Jose Mourinho is out, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in, and Spurs get revenge
Jose Mourinho, sacked after things have gone awry in his third season in charge. Who could possibly have seen such a seismic event coming? It’s such a monumental occurrence that even Jim’s having a sing. Away from Ole Trafford we (Pete) ask(s) “Do wolves live in burrows?” as we assess the chances of Wolverhampton’s finest before they welcome Liverpool into their den, look at Spurs’ potential stadium boon and enjoy Dennis Wise’s foray into the world of PR.

12RofC - The Video Game
The world of football gaming is a massive one and we’ve been reminiscing about some of our favourites from the past and the present. Is Pete in his element? Oh yes.

Need we say more? One of the most enjoyable occurrences in football. So many things have to go awry for this to happen and we’re here to celebrate the mad occasions when they have.

12RofC - The Relegation Scrap
You probably don’t enjoy this one if your team is involved in one, unless you escape it, but what a consistently entertaining thing the relegation battle is. From great escapes by Portsmouth, West Brom and Leicester, we look back over some of the most memorable relegation battles we’ve witnessed, and have a little look at how they work in foreign climes.

Fighting Santas: Liverpool excel, Arsenal’s winning run ends and Neil Warnock isn’t happy
It’s not getting any better for Man United, is it? After Liverpool beat them handily at Anfield we yet again wonder what the hell is going on there, ponder how Arsenal will respond to their first defeat in ages, and sit in shock as Marcus says some very rude things about Everton. Elsewhere we ponder the magical qualities of good old Neil Warnock, have a surprising update regarding the Bart-Williams family and revel in Big Sol Campbell picking up his first win with Macclesfield.

12RofC - The Endorsement
Pele flogging viagra, Lionel Messi selling Japanese face cream, Pat Jennings as an oil filter… the worlds of football and advertising often combine in spectacular fashion and we’re here to look at some of our favourites.

12RofC - The Online Footballer
Ah, footballers and the internet, what an endlessly brilliant combination. We celebrate the more bizarre, early examples of the form - Andy Carroll on Bebo, for example - while basking in the glory of some more recent accidental gems, like Phil Neville’s early morning beach excursions.It’s here to stay and it seems like it’s here to pump out and endless supply of Patrice Evra licking chickens, footballers arguing with themselves and borderline illegality.

12RofC - The Bust Up
We all love a football-based spat, be it between teammates, rival managers, or a Knight of the Realm and a slice of pizza. It may be neither big nor clever, but let’s be honest it’s brilliant and we love it. From classic Dutch bust ups, long running feuds between managers, or even between managers and institutions, to those momentary explosions of emotion that live on forever, we have a good old chuckle at the lot.
