    We have players in the tunnel.

    No one seems to have gained a pot belly from yesterday's dinner and from what I can see, no one has the meat sweats.

    Hello and welcome to another BBC Sport bonanza of Boxing Day football. You love this day don't you? Turkey hangover, likely ale hangover, sweet treats all over the house, sport on the TV, more ale in the fridge, more leftover meat and stuffing to attack later, some new aftershave to lash on if you head out later, Match of the Day tonight.... what more do you want?

    Live it up people. Live. It. Up.
