Seconded. I wish the OS would stop licking the arses of our opponents, it's bad enough when our managers do it.
Nothing will beat last seasson when they referred to Tottenham as the 'Aristocrats from London' and made us sound like a non-league team about to have their day in the sun against Premiership opposition.

In all fairness though, the OS is a load of wank anyway.

The OS can't really print things like "Spurs, with their delusional wankers for fans, will no doubt flatter to deceive as usual and whatever the result, you can be sure of furious masturbating from Sky and the popular media"

“As regards our next opponents Spurs, we have tried but can’t seem to come up with a description that reflects terribly well on us."

Let's hope our tv form improves this season as 5 of our next 6 home games are being televised live on sky or espn, along with the Chelsea away game , the games at home to Norwich, man utd,arsenal, reading and spurs are all on live tv.

Ironically that's not even the latest game on that day, Stoke Liverpool is on at 8! Which was our kick off last boxing day. All the other fixtures are at 3pm.

It was indeed and against Stoke.  Could have been a nightmare but Premier coaches picked us up from and dropped us back at Knowle 'bus station ( ok it's a wooden 'bus shelter in reality).

Anywhere to park safe near knowle bus station Pauline as it might be easier for me to travel to away games from knowle .

Why does it feel as though they always p**s about with our Christmas fixtures?
They always do that to big clubs!

As Jimmy Saville is dead and we cannot put his balls through a mangle, do it to some senior personnel at Sky instead.

SOTC & I won't be going on Boxing Day.

 I've only got 2 days off work so I'd rather spend the evening in the warm with a bottle of Rioja.
We've just put our tickets up for sale on Viagogo - that should at least pay for a couple of decent bottles of plonk!!

I feel for the neutral armchair fan up and down the land.

Last season I'd agree with you but I think we are much better box office material now.

Wont be able to make Boxing day then.

Are these the changes for December only or part of a longer period?

Nor me. Unless I can make some alternative arrangements

I've never attended a Boxing Day match as it is my Mother's birthday.

Yes, as I pointed out to the nice lady from the ticket office who phoned to try to sell me tickets to some of those home games. I will be going to the 6th, Stoke, with a proper 3.00 Saturday kick-off.
