Boxing day sales

Anyone queueing up for discount primark deserves to be executed in cold blood. 

When I used to live in the city centre it was ace. Christmas eve dead as fuck. Get everything boxed off in a few hours. 

Boxing day was like Karen off Facebook big annual meet. People queuing outside the next at 6am 

 

You've clearly not done Christmas day proper if you can be out and about before 12 midday.

Remember when we played Newcastle on Boxing Day. That was glorious.

Which one 2002, 2006 or 2011?

First 2 we won, in 2011 we lost.

Pick of the 3 was the 4-3 win in 2002, that was a belter. Remember going to that pub on the Middlebrook after which was bouncing, was it the Mill House?

Got a house full this evening which only came about last night.  Mrs DE had to go to Tesco first thing and was expecting carnage. She were back within 20 minutes with 2 bags full of stuff.

Mr and Mrs Manc nipped to Tesco to get some bread and oven bottoms for todays buffet. Deserted. But fucking hell I came back with a trawler full of fish. Massive £20 salmons for £3, sea bass at £1 for 2. Well chuffed

Ricketts really was unreal for a spell, wasn’t he?

A top striker. Then got an England call up.

What a disaster that was; without doubt tapped up/had ideas of grandeur put in his head.

His head went, lost discipline and got his move, went shite. Utter cock.

England call-up came too late, didn't it?

Wasn't he out of form at the time and then got played wide of a front three in an experimental line-up?

That's how I remember it.  He was amazing up to November but then hadn't scored or played well in ages before starting for England in February (?)

Wasn’t quite as stark as that as he scored twice in the Boxing Day game, but it was certainly a good few weeks in between. Found the whole thing baffling that his agent had convinced him he deserved a bigger club etc then he ended up at Middlesbrough.

You just knew the fucker was going to score against us in that game to stay up. I thought fuckin hell he’s gonna relegate us. 

Provided us with some fantastic memories Ricketts but that celebrating when he scored against us I’ve never felt rage like it 😂

Playing for a move.

Then he ends up in smog land

Didn't he give his girlfriend a right-hander narrowly avoiding a bit of bird?

Was unplayable at times for us - then got his head up his own arse.

How much did they pay? Was it the magic 4.5m?

He was lethal for 18 months- left foot, right foot, head. It was like he only needed half a chance and he'd put it away.

Saw him and his agent at the services after Newcastle away early 2002. And the slimy shite was telling him rather loudly that "if Glen would have seen you today he would have signed you there and then" then mentioned a shit turn he did which amounted to nowt, while he was there just sheepishly nodding in queue for Burger King surrounded by Bolton fans. Think It was the following Monday he was being linked to a big money move to Spurs. What a waste. Pair of knobs.
