Line	From	To
Are you sure we are in the right place for the Christmas party?	:00:00.	:00:07.
That's what it says on the invitation.	:00:08.	:00:08.
Ever so glad you could make it to my little Christmas shindig.	:00:09.	:00:20.
Is this your house, is this your car?	:00:21.	:00:23.
I mean, it technically belongs to my great uncle Archibald.	:00:24.	:00:29.
He is away for Christmas so he said	:00:30.	:00:35.
You better believe it because this is the Kickabout Christmas special.	:00:36.	:00:50.
Merry Christmas and welcome to my humble abode.	:00:51.	:01:26.
All right, it's not strictly my house but still not a bad place	:01:27.	:01:29.
The fire's roaring, the music's playing,	:01:30.	:01:32.
Yeah, but John Farnworth, what are you doing this is my great	:01:33.	:01:44.
Sorry that chandelier does look quite expensive, Ben.	:01:45.	:01:48.
But I am sure you will agree this is the perfect setting to take	:01:49.	:01:55.
a look back at another great year on Kickabout.	:01:56.	:01:57.
Sit back, relax and enjoy what's coming up on today's show.	:01:58.	:02:00.
We recap a brilliant 12 months of football with amazing stories	:02:01.	:02:05.
of the teams who showed that dreams do come true.	:02:06.	:02:08.
With a feast of football to look forward to over Christmas,	:02:09.	:02:10.
we give you our predictions for the 12 days of festive fixtures.	:02:11.	:02:14.
And, join me for festive freestyle with a bit of help from some	:02:15.	:02:17.
You want the best skills and goals, we promise you some real crackers.	:02:18.	:02:26.
I am afraid that's not the last of the bad puns	:02:27.	:02:34.
Right now fellas, shall we open the presents?	:02:35.	:02:39.
Just playing football in the cold, ready for Christmas and I want	:02:40.	:03:17.
to send a big merry Christmas to everybody at Kickabout and I hope	:03:18.	:03:20.
Over the Christmas period, come on the Hammers.	:03:21.	:03:26.
Look at this, I have my Christmas jumper on too.	:03:27.	:03:32.
What a pad you have, as well amazing.	:03:33.	:03:34.
I am sorry I can't be there but I wanted to say happy	:03:35.	:03:38.
Christmas and have a brilliant new year, see you in 2017,bye.	:03:39.	:03:41.
See you, Happy Christmas.	:03:42.	:03:42.
Anyway, just like loads of you lot there's been plenty	:03:43.	:03:49.
of football clubs getting into the Christmas spirit too.	:03:50.	:03:51.
As you will see, there's been quite a lot of these	:03:52.	:03:53.
terrible football jumpers on show, as well.	:03:54.	:03:55.
Look, I can assure you that we have left no stone unturned	:03:56.	:03:58.
We are taking it extremely seriously.	:03:59.	:04:00.
Every effort has been made to ensure this year is a success.	:04:01.	:04:03.
# I think I will miss this one this year.	:04:04.	:04:28.
# Merry Christmas, merry Christmas but I think I'll	:04:29.	:04:35.
Not only are we now looking festive but I think we're	:04:36.	:04:45.
Ultimate Christmas spirit right here.	:04:46.	:04:48.
All we need is one of those great Christmas films on the telly.	:04:49.	:04:52.
One of those feel-good inspirational movies.	:04:53.	:04:56.
One of the triumphs against the odds.	:04:57.	:05:00.
I think you are going to love this one.	:05:01.	:05:23.
Leicester's great escape will live long in the memory.	:05:24.	:05:28.
That result yesterday, I wouldn't get too carried away.	:05:29.	:05:33.
Vardy's done it! He has done it!	:05:34.	:05:58.
Welcome to Leicester where the sun's shining, as it has been	:05:59.	:06:20.
The way it's swung the last couple of games it's hard	:06:21.	:06:24.
Don't tell anybody in that Leicester City dressing room the end	:06:25.	:06:38.
is in sight because Claudio Ranieri is playing a very straight bat	:06:39.	:06:41.
Leicester proving what a team they are.	:06:42.	:06:47.
Is this the day when the most unlikely title trial	:06:48.	:07:05.
Jamie Vardy, away from his man and scores.	:07:06.	:07:11.
Leicester City are the Premier League champions.	:07:12.	:07:17.
Of course Leicester's fairytale wasn't the only	:07:18.	:07:23.
Oh, no, we know you lot loved the Euros in the summer	:07:24.	:07:29.
and you are probably thinking it would have been taken by the big	:07:30.	:07:32.
But oh, no, some of the smaller football nations had	:07:33.	:07:40.
Here's our top five moments from a great tournament.	:07:41.	:07:49.
To settle the opening game at Euro 16, surely!	:07:50.	:08:04.
Iceland have turned it around to lead.	:08:05.	:08:27.
They deserve every bit of the success they're enjoying.	:08:28.	:08:35.
Yeah, I am not entirely sure these lights have survived in storage.	:08:36.	:09:25.
You know I like Christmas lights but I prefer mine a bit more epic.	:09:26.	:09:35.
Fantastic stuff, as always, Mr Farnworth.	:09:36.	:11:13.
I must admit you do pull off the Christmas lights	:11:14.	:11:15.
Can you do keepy-ups with a sprout, though?	:11:16.	:11:20.
John's skills have wowed us all year but we found some even	:11:21.	:11:44.
Seeing your clips here on Kickabout is one of our favourite things.	:11:45.	:11:51.
As it's Christmas, we thought we will give you our	:11:52.	:11:53.
pick of the very best from this year.	:11:54.	:12:06.
If you have any time over the Christmas period	:12:07.	:13:00.
why not grab a ball, rather than a sprout,	:13:01.	:13:07.
and head down to your local park or back garden and get	:13:08.	:13:10.
We've had some fantastic times in 2016 you with it's not	:13:11.	:13:14.
It's about looking forward to the serious amount of footie	:13:15.	:13:17.
In fact, I have been looking at those fixtures and it turns out	:13:18.	:13:23.
between new and the first Kickabout of the new year there is 12 days of	:13:24.	:13:26.
football fixtures to look forward to.	:13:27.	:13:28.
It's given me a neat little idea for a challenge.	:13:29.	:13:31.
I am going to call out my pick of the fixtures from each day.	:13:32.	:13:37.
What I want you to do is give me a prediction but also represent	:13:38.	:13:41.
visually those teams that are involved.	:13:42.	:13:42.
Day one, Crystal Palace versus Chelsea. Day two, Manchester United	:13:43.	:13:52.
city versus Arsenal. Day three, Everton and Liverpool.	:13:53.	:13:59.

Day 12, Spurs versus Chelsea. Phew! I think I need a lie down	:14:32.	:14:35.
after that, so much football over the next couple of weeks. Just in	:14:36.	:14:38.
case you need something else to look forward to...	:14:39.	:14:44.
When you say to a young kid all the time work and you never know what's	:14:45.	:14:48.
going to happen. Ronaldo has picked his moment. He wants to work and be	:14:49.	:14:58.
the best every single time. From humble beginnings his has been a	:14:59.	:15:05.
meteoric rise to the top. This is where the story starts. John, it's	:15:06.	:15:12.
amazing! A chance for Ronaldo! This is where Ronaldo first kicked off	:15:13.	:15:15.
his football career. It's been inspiring. It's been amazing.	:15:16.	:15:26.
Oh, that's going to be so good and he has just won the Balon D' OR It	:15:27.	:15:35.
was an honer to follow in the institute steps of my hero. Tell	:15:36.	:15:38.

year. We will see you in 2017. Bye! Oops! Merry Christmas! Merry	:16:07.	:16:20.

Unbelievable strike! Sensational! Payet strikes. What a	:16:24.	:16:43.
goal!	:16:44.	:16:47.
