We sometimes think that the powers that be have it in for us. But the fixture list has been generous to us when it comes to Boxing Day matches. We've only played one away game on Boxing Day since 2009 (famously at Port Vale in December 2015 when fans struggled to get home). For ten points, who did we play away from home on Boxing Day 2009?

Leicester. Also we did have Wigan on boxing day too but it got rained off and also did we have Preston the other year which also got called off. Think that was Boxing day. May be wrong.

Yes, just checked, the Preston one was the covid excuse days
 
Well that didn't take long did it, ffs.
What day are we celebrating Don Givens day ?
Then there's that fucking hamster haired twat Gorden Strachan for sitting on the pitch hoardings after scoring, twat.
Terry Curran is still a cunt too.
 
Boxing Day 1964 played Man U and lost 1-0 played them again two days later at Old Trafford and managed a 1-1 draw................i was 10.

Does any of the "old timers" on here wish we still played those Xmas double header games against the same team ?

I do.

Look who scored for Man U.
