    If I can't pick Ralph Hasenhüttl, then I'll say Jürgen Klopp
    Pierre-Emile Højbjerg
    Arsene Wenger

    That'd set up for one hell of a conversation around the table.

    Starter? ?? It's Chrimbo dinner, no starters.....not that I/we bother with starters anyway at any time of year. Even in restaurants. If someone in the group asks for a starter when we go out, the mood instantly drops.

    Main - Turkey this year, with all the rest.

    Dessert - Probs a cheesecake or pie with Xmas pudding and brandy sauce on offer for anyone who actually likes it.


    Drink - Lots

    Any current prem manager (Ralph excluded) - Puel because he doesn't speak too much
    Any current saints player - Fraser to cheer him up a bit........and because he doesn't speak much.
    Any guest of choice - Alex Scott (footballer) because it would stop me speaking much as I just oggle for the day at her prettiness......and I like her voice.......plus she seems really cheerful.

    Why does the mood instantly drop if someone orders a starter?

    Starter: don’t know, @ in-laws
    Main: ditto
    Dessert: ditto

    Drink: I’m at the in/laws, so yes


    Current Prem manager: shame, I’d have liked to have had words with Jose, but I’ll choose Claude as he’d bring the best wine

    Saints player: toss up between Maya (I think he’s a real gent and my lad speaks Japanese) or Romeu, so I can ask him about @nice teeth saving his dog

    Someone else: a homeless person - always wanted to do this

    Because everyone else has to wait to eat. I was ordering and paying for a dinner once, so told the waiter to bring the starter with all the main courses....no way were the rest of us going to wait.

    We can have a Tottenham one if you like? But only if the streets are clean and the roads fixed around there.

    Aperitif: Champagne (sadly only half a glass) luckily the very lovely Mrs Godders:emoticon-0115-inlov will polish the rest off through Christmas Day and Boxing Day day.

    No Starter
    Turkey and trimmings
    Christmas pudding with brandy sauce

    Glass of scotch (much more than half a glass) and several more to follow.

    Guests;

    No special Guests as Christmas is for family.
