He’s a northern lad covering James Roberts who is on holiday!

What’s happened to Dave Pritchard......Thought he did a great job.

Moved on to pastures new a little while ago iirc. He was on Rad Ox after a game not that long ago.

Paper may well have been put to bed before the Accy result. Presumably it goes to the printers earlier on a Sunday.

Just shows that some things are going backwards. The Green Mail ( six pages ?) was dropped off to the old girl outside the Regal Cinema in Cowley Road before 7 pm on a Saturday evening All the days results, full match reports and photos, tables...even non league. Printed and distributed about two hours after matches finished. Pat Quarterman always in the queue...to read how well he played

Also who remembers queueing at the Allied Arms in Rose Hill. Then fighting off my old man who wanted first read of it! ️

I believe that Dave is a sub-editor at The Daily Express.

Used to go with my Dad to get/buy the Green Mail, of a fella stood at one of the subway ( tunnel not sandwich shop) entrances, near the Roundway shops & (old) Shotover arms ( MacDonalds) , Green Road roundabout, Headington, around 6.15pm of a Saturday eve

I was always there on a Saturday. And also the same problem with my dad.

Nice match report here:

‘Good teams win games’ and Oxford United are doing just that

A frozen pitch, postponed game, delayed kick off, floodlight fire and a half time stadium evacuation could have derailed what should have been a routine win for Oxford United, but it was worth the wait for U's in the end.

Superb cross by Barker but also by Sykes. Did Shodipo catch Matty in the Moore celebration as it appeared Matty wasn’t to happy.

Looks like Shodders got him right where it would put a stop to anyone's (@RyanioBirdio) intentions

Looking at the dates of those Saturday night Sports Mail’s - they look to have been
produced in 1977.

My recollection was that the last edition rolled off the printing presses in early December 1978
due mainly to industrial action at the printers during the 1978-1979 ‘winter of discontent’.

An ode to Valentine's Day football in 2020.

Roses are red, violets are blue, its Valentines Day, so more football for you.
The fire was red, the smoke was blue, we started with three sides and ended with two
Swindon are red, Wigan are blue, we scored twice, so relegation to you.

I know it's been a weird time for all, but you must have noticed we are in 2021 now?

Not with the amount of wine I'm drinking.

So Sunday was the warning to last night.. Shame we didn’t take that warning.
