I’m not sure which section to post this in so apologies to the mods.. I’d just like to wish all fellow U’s fans a very happy and prosperous New Year! We’ve had our ups and downs this year and, like any family, don’t always see eye to eye, but we all have a common bond. Visiting this place, for...

Apologies if Ive missed it but this is a subject that I would have thought would be getting a bit more airtime on these boards. There seems to be a growing noise about the subject and now Terry Butcher has come out this morning to throw his weight behind the banning of heading in the game. He...

Listening to Jack Fm on the radio at work this morning I was impressed with the level of promotion from the club on there. There was an advert regarding the festive package offer, and one of the competitions included match day tickets. However, the DJs kept referring- obviously correctly to the...

I’ve just watched Gareth Thomas: HIV and me. If people missed it they should look for it on iPlayer. A very moving documentary about a very brave and likeable man that helps to dispel a lot of myths about the condition.

So, nobody else seems to have the stomach to start this thread so I’ll have a go. Apologies if I’ve got the title wrong. Anyone else listening to the squirmy interview with DE on RO..?

Anyone at Brackley tonight..? Can’t see any updates or info anywhere

Interesting little piece on the BBC website about how clubs go about recruiting a new manager if anyone wants to kill a few minutes https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47603536

I know a lot of us are fed up with all the shenanigans surrounding the club off the field at the moment, and also with substandard performances on the field. Today’s articles in the OM put into stark focus where the club currently stands. More please for patience without any substantial evidence...

Apologies for starting another thread on the current failings at our club and where the responsibilities lie but I do think this point is worthy of its own discussion: Does Robinson have too much power at the club? In his latest OM interview he says that coaching the team makes up just 10% of...

With the January transfer window a couple of months away, and the lack of a prolific striker the obvious elephant in the room, I think everyone agrees which area of the pitch Robinson will be focusing most of his attention. I reckon it would be interesting for all budding talent scouts out...

Damien Doyle is new fitness coach. KR keeps saying about the intensive and innovative fitness regime that the players are going to enjoy/endure over the next couple of weeks, I just hope he gets his new recruits in in time to benefit from it...

As things a quiet I thought I’d post this video that I revisited today. Brought back great memories of a great match and great team. How fearless was Johnny Aldridge?! And Billy Hamilton was imperious in the air.. Let’s hope our new strike force are half as good as those two.

With the so-called ‘strikers’ in our squad proving to be flaky at a time when we need them the most - ok I’ll name them, Thomas, Obika and Mehmeti- does anyone see any alternatives that Robinson could utilise for the crucial run-in to the season? A left field alternative to get us the points we...

Blimey, it looks like old Uncle Firoz has finally decided to drop the charade completely and become the full blown pantomime villain.. http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/16044814.im-only-the-poor-landlord-firoz-kassam-says-hes-not-spoken-to-new-us-owner/?ref=mr&lp=4

Just for fun... So, put yourself in Faz’s shoes. You’ve been given the reigns with the challenge of turning things round in the short term and steady the ship. What would you do tactically? what would your team be for tomorrow? what players would you look to ship out and what type of players...

Just listening to the Radio Oxford program with the top matches of 2017 while cooking spaghetti bolognese for the kids, I know I’ve had a few glasses of vino and am feeling tired and emotional after the Christmas period but it genuinely brought a lump to my throat and a tear to the eye ( the...

When I came here there weren’t many players and we were selling (John) Lundstram and Marvin Johnson. “We spent (next to) nothing in the summer, a lot of players were out of contract or free transfers and they’re producing pretty good football. Apologies for starting a thread on this but I...
