Boxing Day. A national holiday in British Commonwealth countries whose traditions relate to the
giving of Christmas boxes (or presents) to friends and family. Nothing to do with Mike Tyson,
Muhammad Ali or any other famous pugilists, for that matter.
In England, another Boxing Day tradition is the playing of football matches as part of the
Christmas festivities, and yesterday was no different.
Newcastle United away form on Boxing Day were always inside the box and already
suffering seven defeats and three draws. Tomorrow we will have Wigan and their new boss, Steve "the
Geordie" Bruce.
Without being negative, we are also have poor away records at JJB Stadium.
