[Marked Ox]

I was at Marlow. My brother was a Marlow player at the time as well (thankfully suspended for the game)

I was also at THAT Southend game as well, bloody Ricky Otto...

I was at both as well. Both grim.

I remember a shocker of a game away at Scunthorpe. Don't think the scoreline looked that bad but the performance was horrific.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Lowest point was losing away to Lewes 2-1 in conference (oufc fan living in Brighton I received plenty of stick!)

Remember this so well. The dripping pan.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Yup same. By that time many of us had become numb to such results but that still hurt. However I did enjoy the view and the day out. Lovely stuff.

I was winded by a wayward shot in the warm ups and it set the tone some what.

Sorry for going OT mods, but this was our line up that day:

 

[Eric Blair]

Not going amazingly well for Liam so far

One at Scunthorpe that stands out for me would have been 2003, late in the season. Lost 2-0 I think, abject performance. We had some shockers there around that time.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

I was at the Marlow and 1-6 at Southend but the first time Oxford proved infallible to me was the twon0-3 defeats in a week against Sheff Weds at Home and Watford away which basically meant relegation was going to happen from Div 1 .
Little did I know just how much worse it was going to get !

 

[Wallop]

Yes Droylsdon, that was shockingly, atrociously, very, very bad. Losing 1-3 at Droylsdon were bottom of table, hadn't won in 10 or something and and I'm sure we played with about 5 centre halfs.

And then Yemi flicked the Vs at the away fans who dared to have a go at the team at full time. I think it was also on telly so all could see the humiliation*.

*well Setanta Sports so perhaps not many did.

The "highlights" of that game are still on youtube, I had somehow managed to wipe that result from my memory!

Except Rob Dickie with his 5th of the season appears to have won it….

 

[unification]

Tonbridge Angels anyone?

And I remember an away game at Notts County, late 90's/early 00's where we were utter dog s**t but still managed a 1-0 win due to a backpass that bobbled and went under the County keepers foot....right in front of the Oxford fans too

It’s never not funny. A prime slice of crap 90s football.

Dr Dicky to you sir.

Anyone remember Lincoln at home? Think we only lost by a goal or two but it should have been 0-7. Awful awful

I think it was this one. I remember it being dreadful and almost laughable how many goals they had disallowed.

The attendance of 4089 .

The winning goal was scored by Franny Green as well ….

Yemi had a habit of kicking off with away fans back then. I remember a game away at Northwich and he confronted a group of fans as we lost.

"Scored" by former yellow Mark Warren as well...

They won........... a certain Mr Dickie getting the winner...

[Sharp Edges]

If you pulled your head out of your a**e for one moment and really thought about it, you would realise that it is not actually that simple, unless your sole objective is greed.

If Manning truly believed in himself and his ability to get us promoted he could have had a promotion to the Championship on his CV in a matter of months.

His stock would have improved further and his options/earning capacity would have become much wider and more lucrative.

Sometimes it’s about seeing the bigger picture and playing the longer, more measured, game.

If you truly believe that Manning was the man to take us up, I suspect that in the longer run even you would have to agree that his decision to leave in the manner that he did will probably have cost him financially.

However, I suspect your love for him makes you too blind to see it, or perhaps you are just thick.

Manning has already been sacked by a league 1 club, if results had followed the same course under him as they have under Des he would be under pressure here. I dont blame him for leaving, I think 99% of people would do the same, it was the way he did it that was s**t.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Another loss today.

A bad day for the Manning lovers.

 

[unification]

Five defeats in the last six.

To top off a very weird week, Manning getting the sack would be very apt.

Manning ruined our season and Bristol City's. I wonder if this will be his last job at that level.
