Ahead of our trip to Bolton on Boxing Day, I took the opportunity to have a look at our Boxing Day record to give us an idea of how well our lads do on the day after Christmas. The fixture list has long been unkind to Newcastle, forcing us to play away from home effectively 2 out of every 3 years, 48 out of 79 Boxing Day games being on the road, and this is the case again in 2006, meaning 5 consecutive St Stephen’s Days on the road for United fans.

United were quick off the mark yesterday, with goals from Kieron Dyer and Obafemi Martins putting us 2 ahead within 7 minutes. Danny Murphy’s fluke goal reduced the arrears but captain Scott Parker headed home to restore the 2-goal cushion which we held to the end for an impressive victory against a very poor Tottenham side.
What do you think about the match? Can we continue our good form over a difficult looking Christmas period? Who stood out yesterday? Should I stick money on Martins to be the Premiership’s top scorer? Write in and have your say.
