First game of the season for me, yesterday, and what a disappointment it was. Such a good opportunity to settle ourselves and get an away win in front of a packed house, a vocal travelling support and against a very very average Cheltenham side. And for 45 mins, it looked on - we had them on toast i...

There's no comparison between watching a match live in person and streaming/televising it. I would think that's the majority opinion for all football fans who actually go to matches. Quite so, my dear old thing. But of course it’s not the view of the suits at the Football League or the TV companies...

Well it it was very frustrating for me NOT being able to watch a match for the first time in over a year. I was always very much in favour of the Saturday afternoon TV blackout before, but now that kick-offs are so spread out anyway, and plenty of people still don't think it's a very sensible idea ...

I also think it's unrealistic to keep a player at the club who wants to move. Legally you'd be within your rights, but in reality it'd sour the mood in the dressing room and send the wrong message out to future signings about how we treat players. We've made a success in recent years out of buying p...

Is it... on? I mean, I know teams around us have games in hand but we are hitting form at exactly the right time. And today’s result was the sort that makes you think it could be Your Year™. Imagine the flipping limbs (as I believe the youth call it) if there had been a crowd in today. And oh how I ...

Taylor is a true number 9. For years we’ve wanted a regular goal scorer. The mythical 20 goal striker. Well he’s got 14 (?) in 3/4 of a season. Some will never be satisfied. The current Fence End pod episode makes the very good point that Taylor is a great player at this level, but we need to suppl...

I agree with you. That’s our season done now. Mid-table mediocrity. I’m okay with that, I think - to make the playoffs two years running and not be able to go would have been a real killer. I just hope the ownership stuff all gets sorted swiftly so we go into next season with some certainty. Where I...

I'm having a clearout, and have a navy blue OUFC zip top from the 2015/16 promotion season (with an Ox head on the breast and "Oxford United" across the back) and a generic navy blue OUFC polo shirt (with Ox head logo) going free to a good home. Both in decent condition and have a few more...

Rickety Buckets! Rabbity Biscuits! What fun we had with him. F*cking useless.

I'm in the same boat as Dr Bob, of being a natural cynic and wanting to know who these people are and what the plan is. I'm a little more relaxed than I might be, simply because these people (or their fixers) have been close to the club for the last few years when we've been well-run under challengi...

Rotating the squad and putting out a below-strength team to save key players for the next game is a gamble. If it pays off, it's shrewd management - if it doesn't then, well, we get threads like this. Personally, I don't blame Robbo for trying it - the squad must be knackered with such an intensive ...

Really? No comment at all on here the day after we secured yet another 21st Century victory against that lot from down the A420? Great to see Agyei score. Great to see Young Jack Stevens™ save another peno. Great to see it mean so much to the players. Great to see us looking nicely-placed for a play...

Interesting article today in the South Wales Echo about Gavin Whyte and his rediscovery of form since going on loan to Hull City. Both the Hull manager and the previous Cardiff City manager apparently felt Whyte had a tendency to operate too deeply and defensively, which I don't think was ever a pro...

No doubt most people will have seen the news, but former Oxford legend and all-round good bloke Mickey Lewis has passed away after a short illness.

RIP, Mad Dog.
