And so it came to pass(jams), the twelve days of Christmas.

Starting from the 13th December, one manager will be drawn a gift as described below right up to and including Christmas Eve. One gift per person. Some of them are rubbish, but most of them are kewl. On Christmas Day we'll draw our PASSJAMS Santa for 2002 and this can be anyone even if they've already got a gift. PASSJAMS Santa is currently held by Stephen Arthur Jordan, since 2000 in fact as I completely forgot it was Christmas last year.

Obviously there are only 12 gifts plus the Santa - so 8 people could miss out.

1st day: 13th December: Andy Griffin receives £2m and alan partridge in a pear tree.

2nd day: 14th December: Jon Brown can play ANY 11 players (ie formation) from their squad for a fixture of their choice before EOY. 2 goalies? 4 strikers..ANY 11... Jon played an extra striker but it made no difference
