It's all change at Elland Road as the pod examines Simon's sacking and his likely successor. There's also chatter about the Smiths, shirt numbers, sendings off and side show Zigic. Brighton, Coventry and Donny are on the way for R*dders and the Lazarus-like AOB. Sadly, there's discussion on that fictional hockey team franchise down the M1 and that makes Moscowhite really angry.

United have been in the giving mood in the run up to Christmas, unselfishly letting the likes of Watford and Reading take points from us.

And, with Derby, Barnsley and Burnley all coming up, will it be a bleak midwinter or will there be joy in our world?
