"Karl Robinson is an Ian Atkins de nos jours". Discuss.

They certainly both talk(ed) rubbish after matches.

And what was with Holmes? I didn't see yesterday's game, even on the telly, but I was surprised Holmes started in the pointless trophy on Tuesday when he was coming back from injury. Indeed we've kept a pretty settled line-up for much of the start of the season, which you'd usually think was a good...

In summary, Oxford played like Stevenage; very clever football. For what it’s worth I didn’t think a lot of the fouls were fouls- we just did a brilliant job of managing the game very well. If I was a Home supporter I’d be furious with Oxford. Really? Are you sure you weren't being influenced by th...

Wow. I wasn’t expecting that performance. We absolutely ripped Sunderland apart for most of the match. What a game from Marcus Browne. They couldn’t live with him at all and resorted to such blatant foul play all match that it was a miracle they still had ten on the pitch at the end. Also a word for...

Talk of Appleton is a stark reminder that new managers need time, and you shouldn't judge them by the first few games of a season - we didn't get a league win under Appleton until the eighth time of asking. Although the Barnsley and Fleetwood performances were truly appalling, it sounds like we're s...

I've held off posting until now so I could calm down. But that was absolutely woeful. A dire, dire performance. Yes, Barnsley are a good team, but that doesn't excuse not competing, not showing for the ball, not appearing to give a shit. Fullbacks - very inauspicious starts to their OUFC careers. Fo...

Silver linings - well there aren't many. One though is that I understand we can renew the playing rights in 7 years time and so Kassam can't bulldozer the place. I think a little bulldozing might improve the place! It's all so predictably depressing. Usually the one thing that GY/OY and I agree on ...

Speaking of Torquay, some South West football news irrelevant to OUFC but in which some of you might be interested: Following the approval by Cornwall Council earlier this year of a new Stadium for Cornwall near Truro, which will host both Cornish Pirates rugby and Truro City FC, the latter are havi...

Here are Pep's thoughts, for what they're worth:

Hmm, both that article and the one by Pep Clotet on the same site read more like job applications than particularly honest soul-searching. Lots of talk of learning from mistakes without much owning up to them! The Pompey stuff was interesting, but nothing about why he left Blackpool for Blackburn af...

This Sam Smith deal seems to be dragging on and on. As I understand it, Reading are (quite sensibly) waiting to confirm the signing of Sam Baldock before letting Sam Smith come to us. Yeah I get that, it's just a shame not to have players here for a bit of pre-season. Especially ones without much m...

I take the point about over-promising, but there has to be a little leeway here and there. Tomorrow (Wednesday) I think we may see up to 3 new names at the club. Sam Smith (from Reading) Jamie Mackie (from QPR) Marcus Brown (from West Ham) Well the timescale was a bit out, but we have now seen two ...

The Fail seems to be dating that story 16 July. Today is 17 July. Give KR a chance! It was online at 7am yesterday. I'm sure there was a similar story a couple of days before the squad flew to Ireland too. As KE says, we all understand that transfers take time these days (especially loans from PL/C...

Cheers OY. I see that a player called Armani Little played (and scored a brace) against City. What is the world coming to? I also see that two attacking players did not join OUFC within 24 hours of KR saying this: http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/16355880.karl-robinson-expects-two-attacking-players...
