Fixtures

All gone a bit quiet on here, hasn't it? In an attempt to inject some enthusiasm, what games are we looking forward to this season then? Despite being a cynical old fart, I love Fixture Release Day. If you'd told me a week ago that in seven days' time I'd be getting excited about planning a potentia...

Re: Blown it (probably)

That’s surely it now. A shame, but there was a sense of inevitability about it. Big rebuilding job to be done over the summer given how many of this squad will now surely be poached by bigger clubs. I just hope that this time, the rebuild starts from the defence and moves forwards rather than KR spe...

Re: Joey

Well I thought that was impressively handled yesterday. As Jerome said right at the end of Radio Oxford's coverage, the circumstances meant that it couldn't be described as a perfect day - but everything was handled perfectly. At times, I wondered whether it felt a bit quiet / muted, but then I real...

Re: Joey

Just awful news. People are quite rightly talking about the (reportedly) tragic circumstances of his death to remind others that there is help and support out there for them and that no-one should suffer in silence, and that's a really important message. But amidst all the tragedy, let's also rememb...

Re: Back online

Weirdly, it seems to have also deleted a few of my recent posts - unless I've upset the mods! Anyway, thanks for fixing. As always, if donations towards running costs are needed then make sure you say.

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

Interesting to note the report anticipates seeing "a planning application submitted by May 2023 and construction of the new Stadium to be completed by May 2026."

That strikes me as VERY optimistic.

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

I'm a bit more positive than you, KY. You're right that there aren't any great pubs near the new site, but frankly there aren't any good ones near where we've been for the last 21 years either! But at least we can all have a few drinks in Kidlington and walk over or in the city centre and get a trai...

Re: (Water) Eton Rifles

Interesting that the letter doing the rounds says "18,000 capacity" and not "18,000-seater". Please god let that mean a safe standing terrace somewhere... #BringBackTheLondonRoad #LeftSideTilIDie That aside, anyone who remembers how long it took to secure the move to Minchery Far...

Re: Progress

The question is, though - are these last two performances a blip, a mid-season drop, or a serious slump? I'm basing this solely on having seen the highlights (the guidance for those of us living in Wales is to not go to a crowded stadium, let alone drive for several hours to do so), so my view may ...

Season’s greetings

Logging out of all social media and other distractions in order to make the most of the festive period, but just wanted to wish everyone on here best wishes and to thank you for all the interesting discussions over the last year. Here’s hoping football returns to some semblance of normality in 2022,...

Re: Where are they now?

Darren Purse appointed U23 manager at Cardiff City, having previously worked at Oxford United's academy. That means he has now played for and been part of the coaching staff at both clubs.

Re: Progress

Not sure what you mean by "not playing any recognised opposition yesterday"... If you were referring to the players they had missing , then let us not forget us getting a point from the Rotherham game No, I was referring to the fact that they're a Pariah Club who don't deserve to exist an...

Progress

Good to see Us gaining three points and moving up the Div 3 table despite not playing any recognised opposition yesterday. A weird but welcome glitch in the system, I suppose. How serious do we take this promotion challenge then? For me, I think we just lack the quality and the depth to get into the...
