2026 started with a bang as Ruben Amorim was swiftly sacked by Man United after a string of press conferences where he took aim at the board.

Where do Man United go now? Who will be their first ever interim interim manager? How does Amorim's sacking statement match up to the last 7 or so in since 2012?

It wasn't just Ruben Amorim that is on the outs, as Enzo Maresca also left Chelsea suddenly, after also doing a string of press conferences where he took aim at the board. This also comes off the back Enzo apparently speaking to Man City as they start to plan for life after Pep.

Where do Chelsea go now? Who from the Bluecorp umbrella do they have lined up to be the next fall guy? What even are Chelsea anymore?

And finally, we do a quick recap of the football that actually matters, as we roundup news from the Ireland team in advance of the big playoff in March.

As we approach the halfway point of the season things are starting to shape up in the Premier League.

Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1, in a game that featured two red cards, a broken leg, a classic Richarlison moment and a quite vulgar celebration from Ekitike.

Aston Villa made it 10 wins in a row in all comps with a win over Man United, but once again after the game, most of the talk was about how Man United are looking better every time they lose.

The Evan Ferguson-meter has swung back to NOT GOOD ENOUGH for Gasperini as the weekly see-saw continues.

Pep Guardiola gleefully told the press how we was planning on ruining the Man City players rare Christmas off.
