I never knew who ‘Brian from the Beech’ was but liked reading his contributions to Rage On / Raging Bull. I suppose it will just be one of those annoying football mysteries in life that you never find out about. Spent a couple of hours at The Manor tonight – it’s very posh inside now (more like a half-decent hotel in fact) but the end result was disappointing. Ces’t la vie..

I had my knee fixed at The Manor last Friday. I was merely paying homage to the great Billy Hamilton.

Would it be approprate to campaign for Brian from the Beech to be outed? Surely it's time for a revival. Brian, BRIAN !! Are you out there... ?

I've always thought Brian from the Beech was our beloved AC, just because of the wonderful writing style and clever wit.

It wasn't though. I know who it was (still a very occasional contributor on here, but very much an irregular now). I miss fanzines and, although I came late to it, the opportunity to write random stuff far away from my day job. I consider my Belgian semiotic deconstruction of Atkins's "I am a lighthouse" one of my finest published articles!

'Oop the Warriors'.
The "United Way of Oxford" are another group out there fundraising, and should have raised USD 250,000 for 2013.

When will we see any of this for player transfers? Is Thomas Antonio Guerriero involved?
