It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, this is where as United fans we usually hit our high point before everything inevitably goes downhill in the new year... but maybe this is the year where things change?

In this episode of The Brunton Bugle, the lad are all together for the first time in a while as they prepare to look ahead to the three games played over the festive period.

There's also a review of the defeat at Northampton, where a mad five minutes cost United a chance of all three points.

On top of all that, there's also the usual run-down on how Ex-Blues have got on recently.

Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined via the wonders of the internet by Dan MacLennan in Carlisle and Mike Booth in Formby. You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.
