A Christmas Cracker

One of our managers who will remain nameless sent me a transfer request email at 11.28pm on Christmas Eve. Apparently upon research this person was all dressed up in their Santa outfit leaving snow-looking footprints by the fireplace made out of flour and was busily eating half a biscuit, slurping on a glass of milk and gnawing on a carrot.

Then it occured to them that the elf-like John Arne Riise had really not been on his game recently and would be better off discarded and replaced by the reindeer-looking Per Mertesacker from Arsenal.

Arsenal's game on Boxing Day was postponed but this didn't deter said manager who left his wrapping duties to send me an email.

His other half, dressed as a snow princess and looking for a bit of cracker pulling showed her disdain by all accounts and said manager was left to go and sleep in the manger in the outside shed, but at least happy with himself that Per Mertesacker would be lining up in his team in week 20.

For the record Riise recorded 1 point in week 20 and Mertesacker 0!!

There is nothing else to say about this Razor sharp manager but that what a complete sleigh bell!
