There's no rest for these Merry Gentleman as Matt and Saint Nick, (he does have the beard for it), dive straight in talk about their respective game week 17 performances. Whilst Team Tok win again, there are reasons to be joyful and triumphant for Team Pod as a haul from the Egyptian King, Mo Salah, provides some long awaited green arrows for Matt's beleaguered squad.

The lads then discuss their plans for game weeks 18 and 19 with both brothers promising to ring the Carol Bells of change and make some shrewd signings to strengthen their teams for this busy Christmas schedule. There also promises to be Boxing Day Blues, of the Chelsea variety, as Matt and Nick both look to bring in the bargain that is Enzo Fernandez to bolster their midfields.

This episode also features more clips from the University of Brighton's SAS Choir with Procedentem Sponsum starting the proceedings (4:44), followed by Ó,gyönyörű szép titokzatos éj, which partly included for the Tik-Tok reference at 15:34. The Choir then sing us out with Silent Night at the end of the podcast.

Given that we are headed into the part of the year where all the days blur together, we thought it was especially important to provide the transfer deadlines for game weeks 18 and 19, which are: Thursday the 26th of December at 11:00am (game week 18) and game week 19 is Sunday the 29th of December at 1:00pm.

To echo Nick's Christmas message at the end of the pod, we would like to wish our listeners the very best as we go into this holiday period. We know that, while it is fun for many, it can also be very hard for people too. So do take care and be kind to yourselves and we send our kindest thoughts and love to you as we head into 2025. It is also important to emphasise that there are some very good online resources available if you could do with some support over the festive period and we have included a few useful links below...
