Since it's the time of year when no one is in the mood to do anything other than sloth out,
we've decided to have a look back at the year that was before asking our lovely readers to help us

Caught in the act: the offending spit in action
Poor old Roberto Martinez is having a hard old time of it. Not only does the doe-eyed Spaniard
have to find a way to wake his underperfoming Wigan side from its early season coma, but he now has

You can still send some if you can find some to spare. But we're asking you for something far

The latest in Pies' 'football sprogs do the darndest things' series sees wee Kai Rooney (who
looks the spit of his dad, only 10,000% cuter) flunks an absolute gift of a chance in front of the
Stretford End robbing the throng of photographers gathered behind the goal of their shot in the
process.
The SPL season heads inexorably towards its conclusion. Did last Sunday decide the destination of
the title?
Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
All Rangers can do is keep winning, keep hoping and wait for Celtic to slip up. Not much else for
it.
Celtic, of course, need to avoid slipping up.
