    What if: Re-developed the Manor

    I'm no fan of the "landlord", but it was Keith Cox who decided not to build the 4th stand of the ground and it was he who advised the "landlord" that a 4th stand was not needed.

    Trialists

    Christophe Remy came on trial - played a pre-season friendly at Newcastle Town as a triallist. Matt le Tissier once had a trial at the club, but was told he wasn't good enough. He went on to have a pretty good career elsewhere...

    Transfer targets?

    To be fair he was in Wigan. Not exactly the nicest of places in the UK. Maybe he'll de inspired by the Dreaming Spires, the leafy suburbs, the Headington shark, the mystique of Blackbird Leys & the beauty of Barton. And if that isn't enough, at least Oxford is only an hour down the road from his...

    Transfer targets?

    It is highly likely that the 4 players that KR spoke to yesterday were ones he has previously spoken to about coming here but their wage demands (or the percentage their parent club would like us to contribute) is just beyond the original budget set. It might be with just a minor tweak that...

    Transfer targets?

    I can understand people’s anxiety about loan signings. Let’s face it, we’ve had our fingers burnt on more than one occasion. However, I would rather have a player of Carruthers or Garbutt’s quality even for just six months over having a Tiendalli, Mehmeti, Pekalski, Fear, Hargreaves, Mansell...

    Transfer targets?

    Oh I completely agree and the hope is that will indeed be the case. Believe it or not, I wasn't being critical of the club. I don't think the mistakes made last season can be underestimated in their knock-on effect to the club. It does appear that the lesson has been learned and a more balanced...

    Transfer targets?

    Has a decent record at Notts County and from Banbury. Could be a decent punt. We've got 2 loan players in and can have up to a maximum of 5 in any one matchday squad. If used well, which it looks like KR is attempting to do, the loan system can prove to be fruitful, but all the talk of players...

    Ex Player Billy Hamilton’s Board Game

    Had a dog called Bob, don’t recall having a brother of the same name. Now if concrete obeys sit, heal & fetch then maybe he was my old dog. He doesn’t strike me as an obedient type though...

    Next Seasons Kit

    That shower of shite down the road have also had a yellow and blue kit... In 1984-85 season their away kit was identical to our home kit and our away kit identical to their home kit.

    Me too. Might have to dig it out.

    Transfer targets?

    There are some very good players in the division below and even in the National League. OUFC have a history of picking up some of them - indeed some of our best ever players came from teams lower in the pyramid. Remember John Aldridge? He proved to be quite handy after arriving from Newport and...

    Transfer targets?

    Extensive list and probably a few targets there - quite a few who would be big hits here. Where is Rob Hall in the already here though? KR has already stated he wants to activate the club's option for another season and Hall has said he wants to stay.

    League One survival?

    On the plus side, should Northampton survive, that means we don't have to worry - no matter what results come our way.

    League One survival?

    As it stands, the bottom 3 cannot catch us up in terms of points. Get a draw Saturday and it is done and dusted - Rochdale will be on 49 points with 1 game to play, we'll be on 54. The chances of every team below us suddenly finding a bit of form is remote. Gillingham haven't won in 8 games and...

    Ribeiro

    An injured Ribeiro was still 10 times the player of that donkey Tiendali. As others have said, it is such a tough decision to retire - especially at an age when you should be in your prime as a footballer. He clearly felt or hoped he had something to offer the team and was desperate to play -...
