Three days into December and Football Daily has already polished off the advent calendar. The lack of self-discipline and short-sightedness is as astounding as it is predictable and part of the reason we are writing tea-timely emails rather than hoovering up any of the FSA awards, dished out on Monday night to our so-called counterparts. Enjoy the gongs, journalists. I hope they make you happy. Dear Lord, what sad little lives. Christmas should be a time for joy but for those of us floundering, it can also be a difficult time to negotiate. Just ask Everton fans: fresh from having their tails handed to them at Old Trafford, the club now face a crucial relegation clash at home to Wolves on Wednesday, before a set of festive fixtures trickier than Football Daily’s Christmas lights: the Merseyside derby at home to Liverpool on Saturday, before games against Arsenal, Chelsea and on Boxing Day, Manchester City. That Christmas Day hangover is going to hit different.

Re: yesterday’s Football Daily letters. I’m crushed by your treatment of Mark McFadden. I thought it’d win a prize, but just didn’t happen. I thought his rhyme scheme had a nice patter. In the end, though, it just doesn’t matter. Chris Jersan’s fine note got him the swag. Perhaps the result was always in the bag. But the biggest question from both letters will be a surprise to no one. Will Pep, in fact, head for the door marked Do One?” – Mike Wilner.
Football Daily visitors to the fair city of Dublin should make a pilgrimage to the area around Abbey Street, Amiens Street, Capel Street, Dorset Street, Henry Street, Mountjoy Square, Marlboro Street, North Wall, O’Connell Street, Parnell Square, Summerhill and Talbot Street. It’s centrally located and all the doors therein include the post code DO1” – Simon Mazier.
