Apologies once again for our hiatus, we’ll be back more regularly from now on! Football may not have a winter break in the UK, but here at 90minutesonline circumstances led us to follow in the footsteps of some of Europe's other top leagues.

Wednesday night saw two previously postponed games finally kicking off: Liverpool versus Tottenham and Arsenal versus Bolton.
The draw for next year's World Cup in South Africa took place on Friday evening amid an expected amount of pomp and hype. There was endless build-up to the coverage, followed by the actual coverage of the draw itself on Sky Sports News. The broadcaster is never one to miss an opportunity to milk an event.
Most neutrals gearing up for last weekend's football action would have found it difficult not to be bombarded by the fevered anticipation of three particular matches, especially if you reside in the UK.
