The World Cup came to a dramatic climax last week as Lionel Messi shut the door on the GOAT debate by finally getting his hands on football's biggest prize, although Will is still adamant he's not the greatest player to have walked the land.

But now the World Cup is over, it means we're closer to welcoming West Ham back into our lives. We're all excited about that, of course, but that'll rub off pretty quickly by Boxing Day evening. Stock up on plenty of wine, mince pies and bubble & squeak, as it's going to be a long night!

When you're in a relegation battle, the last fixture you want after six week international break is a trip to the league leaders, but here we are. That's what we've got to do and David Moyes' woeful record at top-six grounds is likely going to continue.

But we do try to remain positive on the show, despite spending much of it debating the merits of having a World Cup in Qatar, before The Sun's sports editor a huge Arsenal fan, Dan Cutts, joins us to discuss his beloved Gunners ahead of the Premier League's return.

Enjoy the show and, from James and Will, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Thanks so much for listening - your support means the world to us!
