The guys respond to your tweets about Craig Burley’s coal, Christmas ideas for Steve Nicol, Julien Laurens’ resemblance to Kevin Kratz and more.

In the France squad that faced Spain on Tuesday evening at the Stade de France, 15 players are currently playing in Ligue 1, the most Didier Deschamps has ever picked.
