As Christmas approaches and America welcomes Brits once again, we remember the time Jamie Carragher took his family to New York, and his Dad brought a Superdrug carrier bag out with him.

James Rodriguez’s midlife crisis continues – the former Everton midfielder has dyed his hair a hideous aquamarine blue.
The 30-year-old – nicknamed “Party Beast” during his Bayern Munich days – is currently rotting in the Qatar Stars League, which is a bizarre waste for a player once considered world class.
What’s really going on with the Colombian? We’re hearing two conflicting theories…
1) He moved to Qatar to escape Everton and is regaining fitness before joining PSG in January.
2) We’ll refer you to this message which did the rounds on WhatsApp in the spring:
Lovely little tantrum from world number six Shaun Murphy, who reacted to a shock defeat by insisting his low-ranked opponent shouldn’t have been in the tournament in the first place.
Murphy (career earnings: £4 million) claimed amateur Si Juhai had an unfair advantage because he doesn’t have the pressure of earning money from the tournament.
He seethed: “He played like a man who does not have a care in the world, because he does not have a care in the world. It is not fair, it is not right.
“I feel extremely hard done by that I have lost to someone who shouldn’t even be in the building.”
Hopefully poor Shaun can find solace in his main hobby – golf. He plays to a high standard, and in 2019 managed to edge out several struggling pros to book a spot in the qualifiers for The Open… as an amateur!
Michael Carrick is at the wheel as Man United visit Chelsea this weekend, pitting the interim boss against the decorated Thomas Tuchel in only his second ever game as manager.
To mark the occasion, we’re hoping Sky Sports bring back this rather uncharitable head-to-head table they used for Tottenham caretaker boss Ryan Mason when he faced Pep Guardiola’s Man City.
A rather unfortunate celebration from Flamengo’s Joao Gomes, tugging on his shorts like a frustrated toddler until a teste popped out the side.
It’s been quite the week for Flamengo actually – the Brazilian giants were the subject of two other fairly intense videos.
First, a couple of fans climbed on top of the team bus and poked their heads through the emergency exit, startling their heroes.
Then, one of the Flamego ultras shared this clip from the stands…
We generally ignore novelty fights between overly caffeinated reality TV morons, which is why we’ve never mentioned Logan and Jake Paul.
The tedious brothers have branched out of YouTube “pranks” into boxing, and next month Jake Paul takes on Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, who you might remember from Love Island.
But we’ll make an exception to the rule to tell you about John Fury, the delightful father of Tyson and Tommy.
Fury Sr won’t be in Florida for his son’s fight – he’s banned from America due to a slight misunderstanding which led him to gouge a man’s eye out and serve a four stretch in the slammer.
But he’s leading the charge on the home front, popping up in Tommy’s press conferences to taunt his son’s rival.
He was at it again this week, working himself into such a frenzy that he eventually told Paul: “You know when Tommy knocks you out he’s going to bend your girlfriend over and do her like a dog, in front of you.”
Charming. Even his sons were mortified:
