Hey! You leave Marcus Browne out of this!

I've read some wild stuff on this forum, but "Will Goodwin was a development signing" is right up there. A £400k striker, already on 6 League One goals going into January (3 more than Harris, at that point, remember) was undoubtedly signed with the expectation of doubling that (or better) this...

A truly grim sentence. 'San Miguel' possibly being the most minging part of it.

On the back of himself having said "It's a stadium for Oxford United, not Oxfordshire United" when trying to discredit The Triangle location. Yet more proof that his objection is nimbyism in it's most literal form.

I think this is probably correct. And part of a wider culture of 'you can't have it all' that pervades our fan base and most definitely this forum. We see it even now with 'should we go for Edwards or Browne (or both) as our gamble for next season' - without any consideration for the fact that...

That's fair. Provided (and to counter) that the manager always represents the club's best interests, of course. Oh.

What a phenomenal job Darrell Clarke has done there. Rock bottom with 1 point and no goals before he took charge (from 10 games). And he has subsequently achieved form that would put them 16th thereafter (above the likes of Bristol Rovers and Charlton, no less). Found a striker knocking about...

Come on then, irrespective of exact finishing position (i.e. 5th vs 6th) - it's very simply 4 clubs into 2 available spaces for the 2023/24 League One play-offs. I fancy Lincoln to choke. So I've gone for us, with Barnsley. But don't let me sway you... So who gets in (and who misses out)..

I know she doesn't mean it, but the fact that she's even joking about South Park - a genuine green space (though crucially, not so near her) shows that her devotion to green ideals is a chirade. It's nimbyism, pure and simple. If FOSB et al could do a secret deal to accept a new stadium built...

And, of course, we could have done something more about this area in January (beyond a risky Matete)? Wycombe signed Matt Butcher (L1 stalwart and a Champion last season) from Plymouth and he has been a triumph in a side that are 4th in the 'since Feb 1st' table. I refuse to believe that we...

Very apt.

Yeap. The bizarre implication that it's been an incredible slog, we've come up on the rails, but not quite had enough at the final hurdle - despite doing all in our power. There's short memories - and then there's this place. We were 5 (five) points clear of Lincoln - this time last week...

So I can only assume that if and when the final whistle blows on a 1-1 draw at Exeter on Saturday you'll turn off all your devices and not bother to check any other scores elsewhere, safe in the knowledge that it's all over? Of course a win increases our chances, but it's unnecessarily harsh of...

So we'll be looking to: A) Better Barnsley's result (i.e. we win and they draw/lose or we draw and they lose) ✅️ B) Better Lincoln's result (as above) ✅️ C) Equal Blackpool's result ✅️ Barring any massive GD swing (or the very specific scenario of us losing combined with Blackpool drawing -...

And with a couple of tweaks the above could just as easily be about us rather than Exeter! It looks very much an even contest all things considered. I'm hoping that their lack of need to get a result (and maybe a bit of team/squad rotation) coupled with our extra hunger will give us the edge...

You're a creepy little f*cker aren't you? The salient point, that would be appreciated by any genuine Oxford fan (as opposed to some creepy f*cker who is only here to promote some myopic view of McGuane, Murphy and Buckingham) is that we've consistently dropped points at home that we shouldn't...

Get the feeling you're trying to call me out somehow, but I'll answer as though it were asked at face value anyhow... First off, I'd only have recruited Buckingham if he was the stand-out candidate who offered the best chance of continuing on the excellent start to the season. So if I'd been in...

So that's now 1 win from 14 (fourteen) matches against the sides currently occupying the top half of this division? Or, if you prefer, just 3 wins from 20 games against anyone outside the bottom 6? Say what you want about individual games -referee decisions, fatigue, xG and the like - but the...

January was an horrific mess, of course. But the one bit that wasn't was Owen Dale, yet he was inexplicably overlooked until the 65th minute of our most important game of the season - in favour of someone who has barely offered anything in years. Not to mention removing Rodrigues and...
