christmasfootballSo its that time of year. Santa is making his list and checking it twice. Mariah Carey once opined that all she wanted for Christmas was You, but who was she singing to? Was she an Arsenal fan desperate for a defenive midfielder?

Here’s a list of some of the things that our favourite football follk might be putting on their christmas lists, some less serious or likely than others, of course feel free to add your own.

Chelsea: for the African Cup of Nations to be cancelled. Chelsea are currently top of the Premier League, but with Essien injured and then heading to Africa and Didier Drogba also preparing his exile, Chelsea won’t look as dominant.

Real Madrid: Cesc Fabregas wakes up on boxing day and announces his uncontrollable desire to live in Madrid.

Liverpool: New rules that Fernando Torres cannot be tackled, and thus injured, in any way.

The Entire Nation of France: For the FFF to shout “Surprise!” while unveiling a new national manager. Anyone will do.

Ronaldinho: To wake up in a perpetual 2005, like Groundhog Day.

Alex Ferguson: Someone who can play defence.

Jose Mourinho: For Puppet Jose Mourinho to make a comeback. You know he’d love it.

David Beckham: To make Sepp Blatter’s dreams come true and play in every single World Cup for England from now untill the day he dies.

Arsenal: New rules introduced so that that he can sign Sergio Aguero’s son in case he does catch some of those magic genes.

North Korea: Everyone is so afraid of nuclear retaliation following the World Cup Draw that they are swapped places with Spain.

Mike Ashley: For any rich billionaire to come and take Newcastle off his hands.

La Liga Defences: Swine Flu breaks out in Barcelona. And Madrid.

    I'm going to get you a sense of humor for Christmas :P
  • Ryan McManus
    Well, maybe if it wasn't always Madrid that was the butt of the joke then it wouldn't be a problem. Everyone just conveniently sweeps all of Barcelona's bad aspects under the rug like Xavi's dive or this Cesc pursuit. I fail to comperehend why Real Madrid is blamed for Barca's wrong.
  • Jose56
    Because some of their fans can be as touchy and quick to take offense as Arsenal fans? Because their fans are humorless?
  • Ryan McManus
    You mean the press says Real Madrid are after Cesc, with no evidence to back it up. Barca is clearly after Cesc, so why target Madrid?
  • Rob
    Real Madrid are also after Cesc, mainly to annoy Barca, I think.
  • Justice for Georgia, you have made me laugh. :-D
  • Justice for Georgia
    For Georgia: Justice. coughIreland
  • isnt it barcelona who are after fabregas?
    and juventus: for buffon's surgery to go well, for at least one of our forwards to be uninjured at any given time, a center back, a right back, a left back, and maybe even to win a game every now and again?
  • Justice
    For Ireland: Justice
  • Ryan McManus
    I think you mixed up Barcelona and Madrid. Otherwise, it is pretty funny, I guess.
  • P.S. I need that Christmas ornament.
  • Chelsea (revised): A goalkeeper not named Petr.
  • mlyons
    Everton: Mikel Arteta and Phil Jagielka.
  • rosay
    Azzurri: a fantasia, a solid young centre back, and a new cigar for lippi to smokee
  • Toulouse: A goalkeeper who is A) not broken and B) older than 17.
  • MLS players: the discovery that the owners have been visited by three ghosts the night before the CBA is due and decided to raise the cap to $10 million, meaning nobody will have to live with his parents, take three other jobs and eat Top Ramen unless he wants to.
  • Chicago Fire: A shiny new head coach and a few new players to fill in the holes left by Bakary, Rolfe, Blanco, Segares, Prideaux, Pappa, ..............
