Thank you so much for all your support over the last year. We've had an awful lot of fun once again, and it's great to hear that so many of you have been enjoying it as well. And of course, there's lots more for us to look forward to in 2026. The Premier League title race is perfectly poised with just two points separating Arsenal and Manchester City. And with this season's promoted clubs putting up the sort of fight we've been missing from the last few years.
0:45We should be in for a very exciting relegation battle too. On top of all that, there's the little matter of the World Cup to look forward to in the summer. And don't forget the Rest is Football is going to be on Netflix throughout the tournament as we'll be bringing you all the fun, glitz and glamour from the Big Apple. There won't be an episode of the Rest is Football tomorrow while we take a couple of days off. I hope you think we've deserved it. But we'll be back with the next show on Monday, the 29th of December to review all the latest action from the weekend. Have a wonderful time over the festive period.
1:20We'll see you next week.
