When it comes to Christmas movies, it's hard to think of many more iconic than Home Alone.

The 1990 classic and its sequel Lost in New York have become absolute staples of most households' Christmas film-watching schedules, and so many of its scenes have become iconic even outside of the festive period.

However, it seems like Roy Keane and the Overlap crew might need a bit of a refresher on the plot of the films.

The Overlap team sat down this week for the Christmas special of their 'Stick to Football' podcast in association with Sky Bet, and part of the show involved a trivia round after the gang pulled Christmas crackers.

What ensued was a hilarious disagreement across the table, with Roy Keane and Ian Wright's interaction particularly hilarious.

Roy Keane and Ian Wright's Home Alone disagreement was brilliant viewing

The trivia question Ian Wright ended up with in his Christmas cracker asked which city the McCallister family were travelling to in the first Home Alone movie (a far higher standard of quizzing than we are used to with our Christmas crackers).

It may seem obvious to those of us who rewatch the film every year, but the answer (Paris) did not come easily to the trio of Roy Keane, Gary Neville, or Jamie Carragher.

After much debate, Jill Scott was the first to get the right answer, but the back-and-forth between Keane, Neville, Carragher and Wright was hilariously reminiscent of a drunken board game row at Christmas time.

Keane and Wright were the stars of this particular segment, with more than one YouTube commenter suggesting that they resembled a bickering married couple.

Keane: The first one?! What city are they going to?!

Wright: They're coming from America, going somewhere.

(Carragher suggests New York)

Keane: Nah, New York's the second one - obviously! New York was the second one, right.

Wright (visibly frustrated): Wh-Why?! I said Home Alone ONE!

Keane: I'm just asking!

Wright: I said Home Alone ONE! That's the second one!

Keane: I'm just checking! It's like a family falling out - everything was great an hour ago, now look at this! Fuckin' hell.

We imagine similar scenes will be playing out after the pulling of Christmas crackers up and down the country on Christmas Day.

Now, for some reason, we feel like watching Home Alone again...
