It's all got too positive around here. Let's go back to the horrors of 2000-01.


F'ing hell. Richard Knight was POTS that year - crumbs ... That said, Phil Whitehead was being fairly generous to us that day and future Oxford player Adi Viveash* also gave us a goal too.

*A player to play for Oxford, Reading and Swindon. Can't be too many to play for all three.

On the subject of how good Joey was a couple of things spring to mind. The reference to him in the Woody and Nord book relating to what IIRC was a youth team game. Also, the way he tore Julian Dicks to pieces at Upton Park many years ago. He really could have solved England's left sided problem at the time.

One memory of him is when he beat his full back by flicking it over his head and running past him bringing the ball down with a fantastic touch to then go on and set up a goal, but can't remember who it was against. He had the ability, speed basically everything needed to be an international player but as his actions demonstrated he only wanted to live in Oxford and play for his boyhood team which was great for us obviously but not for England.

Absolute scenes in the away end. One of my favourite memories of the Conference wilderness years! I can still visualise that ball flying in from where I was standing behind the goal - and utter bedlam that followed
 
Lee Nogan's goal when we beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in FAC 3r 1991 is at 1:05 in this video. God knows why they didn't show the other two of our goals.... I seem to remember seeing that on MotD that evening but not sure I've ever seen it since!

Was that the end of faxgate season? Sadly Adam Chapman is often remembered for what happened off the pitch but his performance at Wembley the following year was exceptional in the circumstances.

Why did so many commentators struggle with Jim Magilton’s name? I’ve seen so many old clips where Jim Maggleton has been running the wings for us.
 
OK, so a holy grail of mine for all you older yellows.

The Leeds 5 - 2 game in November 194 was on Match of the Day. Unless I had a really vivid dream I remember my dad letting me stay up late (I was only 8!) to watch Sportsnight one night in probably December 1984.

Sportsnight had an Oxford feature which included a camera sitting with Jim and Maxwell as they sat in the directors box during the first half. I think that Jim often watched the first half in the stand and then came to touchline second half, but I may be wrong in that. I especially remember it as having gone 2-0 down in the first half we got one back, which led to Maxwell standing and clapping, then sitting down and asking Jim who scored, to be met with a very curt "BRIGGS".

There must have been more to the piece than that - I'm guessing more interaction between manager and chairman, maybe some dressing room footage - but don't remember anything other than the exchange in the directors box.

Does anyone remember seeing this - or even better - know where a copy lives online?

Excuse my rambling, to mitigate that here is the Leeds game - well worth a watch and I don't think referenced so far in this thread. It's in three parts thanks to Deddington Steve with parts 2 and 3 easily found from the first.
