You need to sack the gaffer mate, if that's possible!

 

[TJB.]

5-1.

Can't remember the last Boxing Day match I've missed. The lady wants to do something as a family for a change. That's that then I suppose. 5 tickets for the "family stand" plz.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

3-0 Hat trick and match ball to Matt Done.

Are you on glue?

 

[diode_blade]

Luftwaffe 1 - Blades/Oldham 0....
My prediction 4-1 to the Blades

 

[Pinchy]

I'm afraid I have to predict a festive victory for Oldham Athletic.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

20 thousand nil.



To us of course.

1-0 to us, we still have that finishing bugbear and Coventry was a fucking debacle. It'll be like Bury, attack them all game, they defend all game and we miss several guilt-edged chances before a 35 yard utter thunderbolt from Clarke (subbed on for Done just past the hour) on 79 minutes gets the 23,981-strong Boxing Day crowd to it's feet. He used to be shite, now he's alright.

The home support leave the stands with ruddy cheeked smiles as the news of Scunny losing filters through. Still 2nd on goal difference, but getting closer to that giddy feeling of chanting "WE. ARE. TOPOFTHELEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOPOFTHELEAGUE"

 

[Peezablade]

My prediction

Open curtains and a look across my home city
Mother in laws bacon breakfast
Walk down hill and one in White Lion for old times sake
Maybe Sheaf View if I feel exotic
Past Red Lion and say a thanks for once being able to know how beautiful Wards was
Cremorne and as usual struggle to find a chip butty anywhere on London Rd...

UTB

Being pedantic (a theme of this thread) why go White Lion, Sheaf View, Red Lion? That's arse end upeds!

Being Mega pedantic.. The Red Lion (after The Crown, but before The White Lion) sold Tetley's and is still there. After The White Lion and on the corner by the railway bridge, where you would now go up the hill to The Sheaf View or indeed The Victoria (another ex Wards place) was The Red Lion (I think its now a carpet or floor place) it also sold Wards and was your last stop for Wards before The Earl and Arundel...

Wards was my weaning beer...

You mean the Bridge Inn. It now sells wooden flooring.
Wards was also my weaning beer but on the other side of the City.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Flynn hat-trick. 6-3, Blades.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Bump

 

[coolhandluke]

I wanted to rate the game as a 3-1 win for Oldham but the option isnt there . Ive gone for 2-1 Oldham instead .

Satans breath is getting hotter at the Lane .

 

[loyalblade95]

4-0 blades hammered them 3-0 at the lane last year with our poorest sides for years very confident in our chances

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

4-0 blades hammered them 3-0 at the lane last year with our poorest sides for years very confident in our chances

we will do them

 

[Rodley]

Massive banana skin this. They'll park the bus and we'll score in the 85th minute. 1-0.

 

[silver blade]

4-0.

All I want for Christmas is Blades topping this shithole of a league and not moving for rest of season.

Boxing Day matches are just as difficult to predict as the first match of the season, my prediction, I will have overdone the Bailys & mince pies.

 

[shorehamview]

I predict some beer, some football, a lot more beer, some pinky drinky and then a nice sweaty kebab.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Blades win. I have it on good authority that Andy Ritchie is not playing in this one.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Bump

But, but... Jacob Marley (ghost of) was the one in chains. You're just making old Scroo Pinchy angrier!

 

[Liaminho9]

I think i read somewhere the Gate is now expected to be over 26,000

True. But I think you'll find that Jacob allowed EB to try them on for size

I have Charlie's original manuscripts. The words were originally to be spoken by a character named Harold Bassitt: "a curious fellow of affable exterior but singularly unattractive in both word and deed". Dickens abandoned the character because, unlike Scrooge, he would not change his ways, despite nocturnal visits from the Ghosts of Charlie Hooffit, Josiah Beckitupp and Samuel Bentfecker.

"You are fettered," said McCabe, trembling. "Tell me why?"

"I wear the chain I forged in workhouse anti-football," replied the Ghost. "I made it kick by kick, and hoof by hoof; I girded it on of my own aimless punts, and of my own discredited shite I wore it..."

Pele bless us, every one!...

 

[Kenilworth]

For a change I think I'll go with
2-0 Blades, Billy hat trick

Reight again, I see
