First up, we must mention the sad news about Forest and Scotland legend John Robertson, who died on Christmas morning.
Tributes have been pouring in from all corners of the football world, but none more sincere than from his family, former teammates and those than played under him as a highly-successful coach.
Feel free to get in touch with your own memories or thoughts of Robbo (or anything else you fancy): michael.butler@theguardian.com.
Sick of your family and hiding out in the loo? Can’t quite face the actual news. Welcome to the warm embrace of your Boxing Day football liveblog, in which you can forget all your worldly troubles and concentrate on the important business of Manchester United v Newcastle (8pm GMT), a full Football League fixture list and four Afcon matches: Angola v Zimbabwe, Egypt v South Africa, Zambia v Comoros and Morocco v Mali.
Four Afcon matches (Jeremy), that’s insane.
