    So, how do you celebrate when you have just beaten your former club? Alan Pardew headed for the pub after seeing his Crystal Palace side overcome Southampton 1-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

    Is he standing on a table? The last time I did that in a bar I got chased out by bouncers...

    JB, London: Liverpool's third goal in the 2005 CL Final. The split second difference between the agony of the penalty being saved and the euphoria of Alonso scoring the rebound was too much for my emotions to deal with. I sobbed uncontrollably.

    Chris is Blue: There is obviously NOTHING that can ever beat the drama of the Champions League final in Munich 2012.  

    Ewan: Torres skipping past Victor Valdes to score is quite possibly the best I have ever felt. Then Drogba's penalty... over the moon!

    Given the money he has been able to spend, Louis van Gaal has still got to be given a chance to turn it around."

  8. 'Something has to change'published at 10:45

    Strong words from former England manager Glenn Hoddle on Manchester United. He says they are "plodding" under Louis van Gaal and going nowhere fast.

    "It’s been almost a year and a half under Van Gaal now so it’s a reasonable time to assess what is going wrong," writes Hoddles in his Mail on Sunday column.

    "Something has to change but the team look drained. They are playing in a plod. Perhaps they are finding the preparation and the tactical meetings, which we know Van Gaal likes, energy sapping. You need elements of work, rest and play to get the best out of any team and these players look in need of stimulation."

    England boss Roy Hodgson dominates the back page of the Mail on Sunday and the news the Football Association is planning a new deal for the 68-year-old. 

    "Van Gaal bows to the King" is their take on Bournemouth's win over Manchester United.

    "Even though Louis van Gaal has got injuries, on the bench against Bournemouth he had Ashley Young, who is an international, Phil Jones, who has played for his country at full-back, Morgan Schneiderlin, who has done a job there for Southampton in the past. Yet he's putting in inexperienced kids who are not that good if I'm honest."

    "I know Manchester United have injuries. But if there is one club that can complain about injuries - but don't - it's Bournemouth...Tyrone Mings, Callum Wilson, Max Gradel, Tommy Elphick. 

    "They are all big signings for Bournemouth...record signings. The one obvious thing that stood out for United was a lack of leadership, lack of organisation, particularly from set-pieces. To achieve things you have got to do the basics well and United aren't doing that."

    Before we concentrate on Sunday's action we're going to look back at Saturday.So grab yourself a cuppa and sit back...Sunday's newspaper review is coming up. 

    Erm, I don't know if Louis van Gaal has a pet dog but if he has now might be a good time to take it for a walk...

    Being top at Christmas does not guarantee the title...just ask Liverpool., external But it can help. In five of the last six seasons the team at the summit on Christmas Day has gone on to win the Premier League.

    The next 36 hours may offer a clue as to who will occupy that position. Ahead of Leicester's home game with Chelsea on Monday, we have a triple bill of action starting at rock bottom Aston Villa at home to Arsenal. That is followed by Tottenham against Newcastle - Spurs will go fourth with a win - while Liverpool will move into the top seven with a home win over West Brom.

    Aston Villa v Arsenal (13:30 GMT)

    Liverpool v West Brom (16:00 GMT)

    It's the penultimate Sunday before the big day. The rush is on and panic is filling the air as the clock ticks down to 25 December.

    Lots of flapping, indecision and chaos...present-buying season is in full swing. Yet the only gift Claudio Ranieri, Manuel Pellegrini and Arsene Wenger want is to be looking down on the rest come Christmas Day.

    Manchester City are in pole position right now, Leicester can return there on Monday, yet if Arsenal win at Aston Villa later it's Wenger's Gunners who will be at the summit - before the Foxes play tomorrow.

    The race to be top of the 2015 Premier League Christmas tree is on.
