Rage Online

Since Brian Horton left us for better things none of our managers have subsequently worked again in the English league, with the exception of Denis at Wrexham, whereas lots of ex-players are doing fine elsewhere. This implies that our problems stem largely from the appalling shower of managers we've...

Yes quite!

This thread at the Guardian should please some of you jumpers-for-goalpost types - there's a few votes for the Manor

Come on lads, I don't think it'll come to that, we're just rubbish and broke. Last season Cambridge fans were looking at derbies with Cambridge City but they're doing OK this year. Talking of rubbish did anyone watch the Stoke v Newcastle game onSunday? Appallingly physical hoofball of hardly a high...

Rad Ox were raving about him in the 5-0 game, I seem to remember

Whatever and ever amen. I recently suggested we may as well have kept Jamie Cook, looking at our position and his. I was kind of joking but maybe I should have been serious. I've got my friend's season ticket but because I'm not a nice guy I'm going to give it back to him - I've been to five games t...

I think Justin once had a fight with the Simmo-hater, which livened up a game with lowly Port Vale or some such. You get a different kind of angry mad fan at the New Ground.

I like Duffy well enough, he's genuinely good in the air without being a donkey, and given a few decent crosses is likely to knock one in. His 'energy-saving' style is what winds some people up, but then above all Oxford fans seem to like strong, busy players who 'get stuck in'. I used to stand in t...

It wasn't exactly an argument though it is funny to note that we have come down to join some of our 'rejects'.

Yes, we could do with all three of the players released around the same time - Hackett, Bradbury and Davies. We'd probably be 8th in Div 4 now if we'd kept them.

Yes, that's what I was saying really, in a flippant manner. At this level it's management and coaching that count, teams like FGR don't have players who are great individually, but they are a settled consistent unit with good team spirit and tactics that work.

'Football fans in general don't like criticising players'? You jest sir. I'm in favour of changing the management regularly if they are hopeless, but not the players. I don't ever want to see Kemp, Rix, etc again, but would we be any worse if we'd just kept players like (for example) Jamie Cook and ...

Extreme frustration with the management is completely reasonable, given that we have gone backwards since last year, a season which was itself supremely frustrating. We let some good players go and brought in donkeys, centre halves and loanees. Whatever their faults, does anyone really think that a ...

Like someone earlier in the thread I was again very struck by the similarities betwen England and OUFC. Croatia were even wearing Exeter's away strip! Is lone striker Crouch just a larger, slower version of Yemi, and is Wayne Bridge Jeannin in disguise? But I can't believe all the people who say the...

I do think the quietness is a pretty bad sign. It's been striking all season how quiet this and thisisunited have been. It's not exactly been dull (apart from the football) and there are plenty of players joining and leaving. Are we all just losing interest/the will to live?
