Wooooooo! Par-tay! Real Madrid held their annual Christmas dinner along with the Real Madrid basketball team and all the club's senior executives and as you can see, things got pretty friggin crazy.

Iker Casillas may or may not be asleep with his eyes open, Guti is clearly dying of boredom/thankful Sergio Ramos is too far away to grab his ass, and Sergio Ramos is probably on a phone sex hotline.

Their men may play for different teams. They may differ over their use of spray tan. But the one place where WAGs come together, united as one, is at the Cricket Christmas party.

Sheree Murphy (Harry Kewell), Alex Gerrard (Steven Gerrard), Claudine Keane (Robbie Keane) and Coleen Rooney (Wayne Rooney) made the mini-trek to the mothership to celebrate the holiday season, partying until the early hours of this morning.

This year the Man United Christmas party was pretty quiet compared to recent seasons. After the 3-0 loss to Fulham Man United stars decided to celebrate Christmas at Rio Ferdinand's restaurant...

John Terry has a history of yob-like behaviour, and last week he made (arguably) xenophobic comments about 'foreign mentality' being to blame for increased cheating in the English football. Is someone who holds such repellent views fit to captain England?
In the past, Terry has:
* Allegedly urinated on the dance floor at Chelsea's Christmas party
* Urinated in a pint glass whilst standing on a bar.

I'm not overly keen on criticising our own players but sometimes it's hard to avoid it. I got a lot of stick for criticising Cristiano Ronaldo last season but it's rare that I would really lay in to one of our own players.

I'm afraid I have to get something off my chest today though.

Rio fucked up massively a few years ago and I was more than happy to voice my dislike of him.

Don't you smile at us like that, Mr. Walcott. We're pissed off, mate.

A let-down bigger than discovering your savvy online purchase has netted you a brand-new "Lewis Vuitton" handbag?

Where is the justice?

Last Saturday Stoke City got a dose of "Cescy time" courtesy of Arsenal.

"Yes! It's a 2-for-1 deal on Red Bull & vodkas! Fill yer boots lads.."

Shock and awe in today's Sun at the behaviour of Tottenham's players:

"TOTTENHAM'S senior players have heaped shame on the club by organising a secret Christmas party in Dublin behind the back of manager Harry Redknapp.

Spurs travel to Blackburn today in high spirits, and that's not just the after-effects of the Dublin Christmas party.After such a fine win against Manchester City, we need to maintain the mood, energy and skill in what is another winnable away fixture. There's not much to talk about with the team selection same again, surely.

Happy Holidays!

It's Christmas Eve, so I would be remiss if this week's preview didn't have a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/Ashura theme.

I'm more of a Christmas kind of guy myself, so that's the direction I'll be heading in first.

It may not have come upon a midnight clear, but this is the TV schedule for the week so dear.

Earlier this week, Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov made a bid for control of the New Jersey Nets, which plays in America's professional basketball league, the NBA. If accepted, Prokhorov would join rapper Jay-Z, who has a minority stake in the team and is seeking to move it across the Hudson River to his hometown of Brooklyn.

Nottingham Forest 5 Leicester City 1 Forest certainly kicked off my Christmas Party season in style with a complete drubbing of incumbent third place Leicester yesterday afternoon. The question that we can't seem to answer though is 'Were we that good, or were they just rubbish?' my first instint was the latter, being a [.

The alleged argument is believed to have started after Pulis ordered the players to report for training today, prompting Beattie to object after it had previously been agreed that the first team would not be required to come in until Tuesday because they were due to go out in London last night for their Christmas party.

Don't you smile at us like that, Mr. Wallcott. We're pissed off, mate.

Get the inside scoop on Arsenal Christmas parties of the past, including a Wenger story, from a former Arsenal player on this week's Soccerlens Podcast.

The Christmas Party is a seminal event. It fathers the juiciest rumours of the year. It creates character sketches so accurate Data wouldn't find flaws in them.

If you don't read Robbie Savage's column for The Mirror, you should. Here's a snippet from his latest effort about Christmases past:

I'll never forget the year at Manchester United when all the apprentices had to do a panto for the senior team.

To the great amusement of Sir Alex Ferguson, Mark Hughes, Ryan Giggs and the rest, I came on stage dressed as Snow White with my dwarves – including David Beckham – behind me.

Some great betting tips for this weekend's big matches.

Its certainly been a week to remember in the Premier League as Tony Pulis gained much respect in the '10 Hardest Premiership managers of All Time' with his alleged ‘head butt' of playboy/partyboy/prettyboy/bigmanupfront James Beattie.

'Gold Coast United CEO, Clive Mensink, thanked Football Federation Australia (FFA) for their due diligence in approving Miller's registration in time for the clash with the Jets this Sunday. "FFA have been very cooperative and understanding with us throughout this process and we thank them for their guidance," Mensink said.

This past week I talked to two different people about something that has always been important to me: which sports team one supports. In these two separate conversations it was about American football. One person roots for the Washington Redskins, but she also roots for their division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles - when Washington has no chance (like this season).

Tottenham's senior players have heaped shame on the club by organising a secret Christmas party in Dublin behind the back of manager Harry Redknapp.
The plot to hoodwink Harry.

I hate going to Blackburn. It's one of those niggly, annoying away trips where you just sense that things won't go to plan no matter how well prepared we may be. Even in the best form, things will still go wrong. It's just one of those things that I've come to rely upon as being the norm. Like not winning at Bolton.

Something to read while you listen to a special one... Ten moments that defined a Premier League decade. That's #9 above. (EPL Offside) Football related charity gift ideas (Unprofessional Foul) Spurs players secret Christmas party in Dublin (The Sun) How Man Utd started the Millennium (The Spoiler) La Boca.

Before I start I'd like to say I have no problem with what Harry has got out of the players on the pitch. He's done wonders to get Spurs to the standard they are playing at currently and I hope he's at the helm for the foreseeable future.

What I think is a problem is when our players pick up the tabloids and find yet another Harry exclusive.

It was a fantastic weekend of Premiership football! I had said in my previous post that Portsmouth could really set the tone for a rousing round and they did just that. Beating Liverpool was a result which lifted Pompey off the bottom albeit only overnight. Still, history was made as the 500th Premier League goal of this goal-laden season was scored by Portsmouth's Nadir Belhadj.

It's as if the Premier League get bored when it comes to arranging Boxing Day fixtures. Fulham for the third time in three years? Conspiracy theorists will be having a field day.
To compound matters, we're being playing this edition away from home. If Ewood Park is a traditionally tricky venue, then Craven Cottage is just as troublesome.

According to News of the World, the club, in an effort to save cash, is switching off the escalator inside the new Milburn Stand during the weekdays. And did you hear about the poor Christmas party?

James Beattie has today issued a 'come and get me' plea to The Royal Bank of Scotland after admitting he feels his time at Stoke City is drawing to an end. When asked where he sees himself come the end of the January transfer window, the burly front-man replied "being showered with money whilst I watch poor people cry at the tips of my fine Italian shoes.
