    Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho did not face the media after Saturday's 2-0 win against Newcastle

    Speaking of Chelsea, after a little festive wobble the Blues regained sole grip of first place in the Premier League by beating Newcastle 2-0 on Saturday.

    Chelsea were below par, but goals from Oscar and Diego Costa were enough to secure the three points and move them two clear of Manchester City.

    Was Jose Mourinho happy? We've no idea as he skipped the post-match news conference, with his assistant Steve Holland facing the press instead.

    Could Tony Pulis and Jon Walters be reunited at West Brom?

    The new Baggies boss appears keen to go back to his former club Stoke to strengthen his squad in a bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League with the 31-year-old midfielder reportedly among his targets.

    Read that and all the other latest January transfer window rumours in Sunday's Gossip Column.

  5. "But we've got ages until those games kick-off," you most definitely did not just ask no-one in particular.

    If, for some reason, you did though, then yes you are right but we've still got plenty to get through over the course of the next hour or two, with a look back on yesterday's action and reaction.

    Those Sunday chores can wait a while so pop the kettle on and stick with us today, we've got lots to talk about.

  6. What's coming up?

    Hello!

    Saturday may well have been lacking in a few Premier League twists and turns but today's offering from the top flight certainly has the potential to provide us with one or two.

    After a pretty inconsistent first half of the season, Arsenal will be hoping for better in 2015 and they host Stoke at 13:30 GMT looking for their first league win of the year. Easier said than done against a Potters side that has proven to be a bit of a thorn in Arsenal's side over the years.

    Then, to finish things off, it is third versus fourth as Manchester United host Southampton at 16:00 GMT - the potential for a very tasty fixture indeed.
