We start the new decade with a discussion on the latest developments in the English implementations of VAR. It's use in only some of the ties in the weekend's FA Cup 3rd matches has brought more controversy to the troubled system, while one referee saw the opportunity to finally use the pristine pitch-side monitors. While many have called for the use of the monitors, will it actually make any difference to public perceptions of the system? We also talk about the Boxing Day and New Year's Day TV bonanza, Liverpool becoming World Champions, and the latest unrest amongst Sunderland fans.

With Graham Sibley, Jan Bilton and Terry Duffelen.
