We asked you what your biggest sporting shocks were of 2024 and there was certainly some big ones 🤯

Plymouth Argyle’s 2025 calendar includes Wayne Rooney, whose time as manager of the club ended today, for the month of January 🗓️😬 The curse of the calendar strikes again 😅

Wayne Rooney has ‘mutually parted ways’ with Plymouth Argyle with club bottom of the Championship 👀 Rooney only picked up 4 league wins as the Pilgrims boss and hadn’t won a game in their last 9, including a 4-0 loss against Frank Lampard’s Coventry City 😳 Not the end of the year the former Man United man would have been hoping for 😬

Manchester United fans cheered as Joshua Zirkzee was subbed off the pitch in the 33rd minute for Kobbie Mainoo 😳❌ 🗣️ Gary Neville: "I actually feel sorry for him, I really do. I know that he's earning a lot of money, but there's a human being in there that's basically being cheered off by his home fans and that is brutal. "I've not seen that too many times at Old Trafford in the 43-years I've been coming here." A horrible moment for the Dutchman 😬

Manchester United have conceded TWO goals in the opening 20-minutes against Newcastle at Old Trafford 🤯😳 The Red Devils have now conceded 18 goals in all competitions in December, their most in a single month since March 1964 when they also conceded 18 ❌⚽️ Ruben Amorim's face says it all... 😬

In-stadium VAR announcements to supporters will be trialled in England for the first time during the upcoming Carabao Cup semi-finals 🤯🗣️ Referees will state final decisions after visiting the VAR pitchside monitor, with the PGMOL saying the move is part of its "commitment to transparency" 👏 Both legs in each of the semi-finals between Arsenal-Newcastle and Tottenham-Liverpool will see the trial implemented 🏟️

Four cold celebrations! 🥶🔥
