Sad to post about the loss of a good one yesterday. After a long battle with cancer,we lost John "Chubby" Freeman,aged just 61. A North stand Season ticket holder and lifelong Oxford fan,he will be known by many on here,he took me to my first Oxford game when i moved to Wantage in the mid...

Is he serious ? Rochdale will bring their usual 250. 6,400 home fans against Doncaster. Does anyone seriously think an extra 3,300+ extra fans will turn up for ROCHDALE ? To put it into context,the last time we played the scum,the home fans attendance was 9,342. Coventry this season less than...

As the game (if Millwall had won) would have been the other side of the river,what would the Market traders of Green street have had to worry about ? Also, you do realise that West Ham don't play at the Boleyn ground anymore ?

"To be fair, Jordan Rhodes has scored 210 goals in his career (plus 3 for Scotland), so more than twice as many as Barnes! " PL Goals (after scoring at the Emirates today) Barnes 35 Rhodes 0. Saying Rhodes has scored twice as many goals as Barnes,is like saying James Constable scored more...

Just read through this entire thread. Reminded me why i dont bother with this forum anymore.

Really ? I must have missed this transfer news. Who is Waghorn playing for now ? Or have i missed the news about Villa being demoted and Derby taking their place in the Premier league ?

Didn't go to the game,no idea how it went. But according to the the BBC, 54% possession,with 10 men for nearly an hour!! If thats a true reflection,great performance.

I take it you are talking about the Beech rd seats. Dont ever recall seeing away fans on the Beech rd terrace. So if you are,those were the days when nobody under the age of 50,or without kids would sit down. Everyone who was up for the "craic" would be on the Cuckoo lane. The away fans you...

Why would we "surpise Bury ?" Shouldnt we be expected to win against Lower league opposition ?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46267320 According to the beeb,21 out of 24 Championship teams voted against the deal. Could be their way to force PL 2 through. The EFL have stuck their necks out in signing this deal. This morning, I was told 21 out of the 24 Championship clubs wanted the...

What has the Premiership got to do with anything ? When was the last time we had a sub 4k crowd for a league game ? The FA cup died for me when the final was moved from Saturday 3PM and Fergie pulled Manu out.

How can the game at FGR "lose the club money" ?

Didn't go yesterday,not really interested in the FA cup anymore (neither are many other people judging by the crowds) I was undecided on going or not,when the heavens opened at about 1PM in Wantage,it made my mind up for me. Sounds like i dodged a bullet.

Some crimes are excusable. Some crimes aren't. Ranger has committed the crime that is top of my list of inexcusable crimes. He has played for the scum.

Regardless of how we do, youth unemployment in Greece,Spain and Italy will still be over 30%. Imagine the reaction of the" Told you so's" if youth unemployment in Britain was to reach 20% after Brexit,never mind the 40% + in Greece ! Italy will renege on its Budget tomorrow,and the pack of...

Anyone notice the difference in the warm up procedures ? We had kick abouts,a drill(that my kids team does) of a player passing to another one,who lays it off to a player who shoots(usually into the East stand) They were in 4s and 5s,doing muscle work with them stretchy things,then a little...

Did you expect anything else ? Had something to eat pre game,took drinks with us,never left our seats at half time.

"you cant cover the whole pitch" They have 11 players covering the whole pitch,why can't we ? It's OK saying you set out to defend narrow,but in the few times that Foden got closed down,he knew all he had to do was hit it wide,either side to an unmarked player,same with Stones and Kompany...
