I think the guy who does the music at St James' Park must have got a Keane album for Christmas.

Three Premier League games were called off yesterday, today's one match goes ahead and there's two off tomorrow (Arsenal v Wolves and Leeds v Aston Villa) at least.

The fantasy football nightmare continues.

The EFL has been even worse hit - 24 out of 33 EFL games did not go ahead on 26 December.

If you were off the grid for Boxing Day, you missed some real action.

There were 28 goals in six games, making it the highest scoring Boxing Day per game (4.7 goals) since 1963.

Manchester City's 6-3 win over Leicester was one for the ages.

Arsenal hammered hosts Norwich 5-0, Harry Kane joined Robbie Fowler as the top Premier League Boxing Day scorer as Spurs beat Crystal Palace 3-0 and Southampton won a 3-2 thriller at West Ham.

In the later games, Chelsea came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-1 and Brighton saw off Brentford 2-0.

Who's excited for the Newcastle and Manchester United teams dropping in three minutes?

There's some Championship action going on right now.

Bournemouth are leading QPR 1-0.

Follow live text of that over here, written by a man whose birthday is Christmas Day.

Earlier, Derby beat West Brom 1-0.

It's hard to keep up over the festive period but this is basically the final Boxing Day game, moved for TV.

Tomorrow starts another round of Premier League games.

Manchester United have not played since 11 December, with games against Brentford and Brighton called off because of Covid cases at United.

Newcastle have lost to Leicester, Liverpool and Manchester City since that date.

A lot of things have happened since Manchester United last played.

I've ordered my Christmas beers, drunk most of them, eaten a lot of chocolate - and had to take many indigestion tablets. Those things might not be unrelated.

Also, Newcastle have had three games... and lost them all.
