Whether you’re a World Cup star or Wimbledon winner, there’s no escaping, as we look back at the 15 bad guys who have definitely been struck off Santa’s list this Christmas.
Alan Pardew
After all, every self-respecting Geordie knows horses are the real enemy.
Luis Suarez

He went on to deny biting, claiming Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder fell into his mouth, before later going back on his nonsense statement and admitting everything when it transpired his £65million move to Barcelona would be in doubt.
Needless to say, a swift apology to his wife and family followed the obligatory denial.
Sandro Weiser
When a challenge is so bad, the opposition club are threatening to sue you, you know you’ve been a bad guy.
Steven Gerrard
Keep telling yourself that, Stevie…
With the trophy already in the bag, Ronaldo converted an extra-time penalty to make it 4-1 to Real with just a few minutes left on the clock, and pelted towards the touchline to tear off his shirt and strike a pose so self-indulgent even his own team-mates couldn’t take him seriously.
Spanish journalists claim it was part of a movie production planned around the Portuguese ace, but still, what a complete and utter w*****

Arsene Wenger
There was genuine risk of spontaneous human combustion among the Gooner community when it transpired Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was popping across to Rome for a charity match on August’s transfer deadline day.
Not only had the Frenchman produced a broken Kim Kallstrom on the last day of the January window earlier in the year, but the Gunners now stood on the verge of going into a new season with Yaya Sanogo as their only fit striker, and Calum Chambers as their only back-up centre-back.
Wenger did eventually manage to get a deal for Danny Welbeck over the line, but unfortunately could find no better defensive options in the world of football than a 19-year-old rookie.
Muzza’s general disdain for England is no secret, yet they desperately cling on to any shred of ‘Britishness’ the Scot has.
However, it was still quite the kick in the teeth when the national hero clumsily declared his intentions to vote ‘yes’ on Scotland’s independence referendum via Twitter – which would in turn erase England's claim to a first Wimbledon champions in 77 years!
He later conceded, after Scotland voted against independence, ‘it wasn’t something he would do again’.
When you’re already not flavour of the month, it’s probably not advisable to shirt-swap at half-time when you’re being drilled 3-0 in front of your home fans.
Assem Allam
With Hull fans protesting at the proposed name change to Hull Tigers, Allam snapped back at the City Till We Die campaign group, saying: ‘They can die as soon as they want, as long as they leave the club for the majority who just want to watch good football.’
Nice.

He later conceded, after Scotland voted against independence, ‘it wasn’t something he would do again’.
Mario Balotelli
Nice.

Jose Mourinho
We all know the Chelsea boss will sink to the depths of hell to get one over anyone whoslightly threatens to chip his armour of invincibility, but even Arsenal’s fiercest critics will have winced at Mourinho’s brutally cutting response to a relatively throw-away line from an Arsene Wenger press conference.
Dubbing one of the most successful managers of the Premier League era a ‘specialist in failure’ was low, even for Jose’s gutter moral standards.
Malky Mackay and Dave Whelean
And finally, the award for perhaps the worst bloke of 2014 would have to be a toss up between disgraced Cardiff manager Malky Makay and the Wigan chairman who hired him just a few months later.
Revelations of racism, sexism, homophobia and antisemitismunderstandably ended Makay’s spell as Cardiff boss, only for Dave Whelan to debatably topple him with the astonishing justifications of his appointment in November.
England’s World Cup team
Seriously, lads…why did you even bother going?
This woeful Wayne Rooney corner against Italy pretty much summed up perhaps the worst World Cup campaign on record.
