For many, myself included, Christmas is the most special time of the year. It’s a time to celebrate as well as to cherish your friends and family. And for many of us, it’s an opportunity to give and receive soccer-related gifts, as well as to prepare for the onslaught of games over the coming days during the busiest time of the year for fans of Premier League clubs.

On behalf of the entire team at World Soccer Talk, we’d like to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. They include:

Copy team: Christopher Harris (publisher), Richard Farley (chief copyeditor)

Staff writers: Too many to mention!

Social media team: Bo McMillan, Amadí Tídíane Thiam, Eddie Dual

World Soccer Talk Radio: Nate Abaurrea

World Soccer Talk Podcast: Richard Farley, Kartik Krishnaiyer, Laurence McKenna, Nipun Chopra

…as well as all of the freelancers who help us develop the site, design the artwork, etc.

Last but not least, we’d like to thank you for 10 years of World Soccer Talk. We’re already looking forward to next year, but — before we get too far ahead of ourselves — we wish you a wonderful Christmas!
