All the other points you make certainly do in terms of the style of play.

Okay, fair enough.

While everyone's obsessing about the Christmas season, you've got a different season on your mind.

One where red noses come from shouting your support in the crisp, cold, pitch-side air.

Where the roaring fire is in your belly, not your sitting room.

And the perfect gift is an unexpected win.

Are you in?

The GAA.

Where we all belong.

Michael Carrick has already beaten Michael Arteta, of course, in his previous stint as Manchester United manager.

Do you remember that game?

No, not really.

Ronaldo scored.

Do you remember the one where De Gea lay down on the goal line, but he was actually stood on by his own player?

And Emile Smith-Rowe was like, all right, I'll just kick it into the empty net then.

And I still won.

So, yeah, Michael Carrick has put Arteta to the sword already.
