E151: Merry Christmas, happy Football Manager holiday season, and it's Liverpool v Man City time

It's tiiiiiiiiime.

Recorded on release day (22 December), we're squeezing in an episode just in time for Christmas, that lovely time of year that we hope sees everyone get a proper rattle at FM24, or you get to drag your FM23 season kicking and screaming into the New Year.

We've still got another episode to go this year but this week we've the important bit of business in Liverpool's hosting of Man City for the first league meeting of Ken and Shane this term. Shane gets a warmup in against 16th-placed Leeds while Ken has to navigate a 2nd-placed Newcastle at St. James Park while Leicester and Southampton make up the remainder of this week's games.

Whether you've just joined us and this is your first episode, or you've hung in all year, or you've been with us since day one, we hope you've a great Christmas or holiday break and thanks for choosing to spend a bit of time with us this year. We hope you've enjoyed things as much as we have and the good news is that we've a long way to go yet!
