Re: Consistency
...we will say goodbye to players who no doubt have relegation release clauses, we will need to replace them with a different sort of DNA. We will have to keep Andy Whing . A good line, and it made me laugh, but I think you're being harsh in Whingy. A player like him has a place in a side, provided...

Re: TRANSFERS...
I suggest that, if he does ever play for us again, Campbell is given the nickname of Schrödinger's Yellow Cat, seeing as he has managed to be both an Oxford player and not an Oxford player simultaneously.Jimski wrote:Players come, players go. Some players both come and go at the same time.

Re: TRANSFERS...
George Baldock signs on loan from Franchise FC.
What is Appleton doing? One can only assume his strategy is "If I throw enough Skoda parts against a wall, eventually they'll turn into a Ferrari".

Re: U's v Exeter City
"A draw that feels like a victory". Does it? I nearly threw up when I heard MApp come out with that. Even if he thinks it - even if WE think it - as a manager under pressure he shouldn't be so bloody foolish as to say it. His whole interview sounded deluded. I really worry about where we'...

Re: U's v Exeter City
...if Appleton does fail is it his fault, or that of the project in general? It'd be his fault. Let's be clear - Appleton has had more backing than most OUFC managers of the recent past. He inherited a tiny squad, granted, but there were/are some talented players in there (Clarke, Wright, Rose). He...

Re: #together
Sound the klaxon, Mr Eales: I HAVE A REASON TO BE POSITIVE! Whilst rootling through some papers earlier, I found a betting slip from August. With remarkable prescience, it appears I put a score on us getting relegated - at 12/1! At least if this season does all go wrong, I can get a decent case of w...
Re: #together
Completely agree with what KY and Dan have said above. Two excellent posts, and I will try to not repeat points which have already been well articulated. What stood out to me today was a manager making his side into LESS than the sum of its parts - which tells its own story. There were a few very cr...
Re: #together
What do you want [Eales] to say? 'Appy wil be shot by firing squad at the end of the Exeter game if we don't win both matches?' As calls to arms go I actually thought it was quite good. Had more substance than many of the depressing corporate missives that I read. Then I genuinely pity you. It was ...
Re: #together
I notice you didn't respond to my point - which was a fair one, so not sure why your reference to 'biting'. As for this... What is actually wrong with [Eales'] message? ...the point is that listing a load of abstract nouns ("passion, commitment, enthusiasm, loyalty, fairness, trust" etc) i...
Re: #together
Who honestly thought we would be above mid table this season after the close season hiatus? Er... the close season brouhaha was a mess entirely at Eales' own making. No-one made him get rid of Gary Waddock, who had spent much of the summer and the back-end of last season working with the group of p...

Re: OxVox. Remember them?
OxVox need to go back to being a supporters representative group rather than the club financiers and stadium decorators they have been in recent years. Agreed. I think it's a good thing that the management have said they don't want OxVox to be fundraising for the club - that should leave OxVox free...

Re: The U's v Cheltenham Town
I didn't hear what Appleton had to say after the game but it's probably for the best. I didn't hear what he had to say either, but I know others were fuming at his comments about fans needing to be patient. The thing that made me cringe was his bit about "If anything, the boys were trying TOO ...
