You say he's 11 so I'd probably say, tell him 2 more Christmas' (this and next) then when he's a teen no more, that way he is prepared.
That ain't a bad shout tbh. I alternate Christmas eve with his mum so don't have to worry about next year anyway.
Best festive football I'll get this year is Swansea v Wrexham on the Friday night before. Might yet go to United v Wolves on the 30th, but not driving up there on Boxing day to see Newcastle sit on their arses for an hour. Swans are away at Coventry, absolutely **** all chance of that.
Oxford away for me. Nice to have an away game and pleasantly surprised it's local. Millwall at home on NYD should be decent too.
WBA a cracking away day tbf. Some great grub at the Royal Oak. Brum away for us. 20:15 KO too which is more than a bit ****e. I'm off work but even so will be a slog.
Not been. The Vine was the lauded West Brom pub. Would have to drive as obviously no trains unless I can find an excuse to be working in Birmingham. If we had a bit of a run between now and then it’s not out of the question but it’ll be on in the pub a 15 min walk away.
I've not done The Vine but heard good things, did Royal Oak on recommendation of @Gessa. Great food and close to away end.
The Mrs spent yesterday putting up tree/lights etc for her and the kids. Was November, so I wasn’t getting involved
A mixed day for you then How come they chose you to turn the lights on? A bit a of a celebrity eh? and who did you beat up? thought you’d be buzzin, Pool won
Ordered all meat for Xmas from butcher, but picked up six packs of these from M&S today, some weird tradition to have these every year. But equally good to have a pack and a big dollop of Ketchup for a snack.
Had a random garlic mayo pot that had been in the fridge for ages from when I didn’t have it with a pizza. Was still in date so mixed it in with some mince. Was great.
