Happy Christmas From The Ugly Inside

As we approach our 32nd Birthday in April we would like to wish all those who read and listen to what we have to say, whether they agree with us or not a very Happy Xmas.

Back in April 1988 when the first paper issue of The Ugly Inside hit the streets, little did we know it would still be going 32 weeks later let alone the 32 years we will clock up come the end of this season.

For the first 12 years we were purely a fanzine sold on the streets outside of The Dell and then in 2000 we got into the digital age with this website first appearing online in August of that year.

Four Years ago we launched our You Tube Channel and then at the start of this season we became Radio Stars with our Saints On Saturday with the Ugly Inside show at 10am every Saturday morning on Voice 103 FM.

So as we enter what will frighteningly be our fifth decade of "Giving Saints Fans A Voice" (Count them 80's, 90's 00's 10's & now 20's) we would like to wish all Saints fans a ver Happy Xmas and a great New Year as we head into the roaring 20's.

May you and your families prosper as may your football team, unless of course you are one of our Pompey supporting members, if you are then we extend our good wishes just to you and your families of course but you wouldn't have it any other way.

So once again thank you for your interest, and if you have yet to see our You Tube channel or listened to us on the Radio, then why not make it your New Year Resolution to do so.

What to read next:

From Frustration to Relief: Leeds United Equalise in Dramatic Final Moments
We should have been playing against ten men for over half this game, but in the end Leeds had to be content with a point after forcing a very late equaliser against Preston North End.
Preston Awaydaze
Our visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds keep home run going against lively Middlesbrough
This time we were made to work hard for our home win, but two late goals proved to be enough to take the points against Middlesbrough.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over Derby
The game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
Leeds drawn at home to Harrogate in the FA Cup
Tonight’s draw for the third round of the FA Cup threw up several local derbies, and the most enticing of all must be our all-Yorkshire clash with Harrogate Town, with the two clubs being only 15 miles apart.
Disappointing Leeds go down at Blackburn
Our defeat to Blackburn Rovers has caused plenty of moaning on social media, while Daniel Farke has blamed our hectic fixture schedule. But it was a shame the team picked the game with our biggest travelling support of the season to serve up one of their worst away performances.
Blackburn Awaydaze
This season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victory
Leeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go top
Leeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
Swansea Awaydaze
Our visit to Swansea City is on Sunday with a 3pm kick-off, and once again we’re being televised live on Sky Sports, which will be handy for those of us who can’t get to South Wales on a Sunday.
