  • Not really on subject, but I've noticed that EVERY single game across the top 4 leagues are being televised live tomorrow.
    Amazon  Prime is showing all the Prem games, Sky Sports and Sky Sports + are showing all Championship, League 1 & 2 games! 
    Never known that before!
  • I vaguely remember a couple of 6-1 with Plymouth - or am I halucinating already

    Really looking forward to tomorrow - 8.30 Golf Greensomes shotgun start followed by quick pint at club then football all the way.

    It took ages to get there, think we had to change trains about three times and we had a drink in their little wooden social club! Happy memories of football Christmases with my parents.
    Would love a repeat of that scoreline this season!

    A Colin Powell special day.

    3-0 at the biggest club in the world. How far have we fallen.

    A fantastic song about possibly the most famous Christmas football match
  • Beating Plymouth 6-4 at home and losing 6-4 at Home Park sticks out in my memory.
