    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...

    Hard-fought but ultimately comfortable home win. Lincoln to scrap their way to a 1-0 lead at Whaddon Road. But then, in the 96th minute (of just 5 added minutes) a hopeful punt upfield from Cheltenham (attacking the away end) is met with a poor headed connection from a thug of a Lincoln CB...

    Now that they've got Revel(l) in charge, I guess you don't really know what you're going to get?

    They've managed a pathetic 20 goals in 22 League away games. And 4 of those came at Fratton Park. So your fun fact for the day is that 1/5 of Blackpool's total away goals for the season have come against the Champions. Or, if you prefer: No. of goals scored by Blackpool, at Portsmouth: 4 No...

    Undoubtedly good news. Half their squad will already be wondering if they can double their wages by moving to South Yorkshire this summer. The other half will be waiting to see who the permanent new boss will be before busting any guts. Revell may gee them up as best he can - but they've got...

    Congratulations to John Mousinho who, in 15 months as a manager, has achieved more than Karl Robinson has done in 14  years. #backedthewronghorse

    Back from injury. First start. Massive goal. In one moment Cheltenham go from the brink of relegation to a very strong chance of staying up. Top class League One striker.

    Home Match Day Thread 16/4/24 Oxford United v Lincoln City

    If Saturday reminded me why I love football so much, tonight was the perfect antitode. Do you remember when Lincoln were a skillful, compelling side - and one game away from promotion to The Championship (having beaten Sunderland over two legs in the Play-Off Semi)? Yeah, different club now...

    Must be a Mod perk? I've often quoted from one (non-locked) thread to another, but I've only ever had the option to 'react' to any post in a locked thread - the ability to 'quote' is lost (alongside 'reply'). As @Colin B suggests, this is frustrating when wishing to follow-up to a previous...

    I suspect the bulk of these local politicians are completely taken aback by the level of (justifiable) scrutiny they now find themselves under. You have to remember that local politics typically exists in a tiny vaccum, the councillors themselves often just cosplaying some wet dream of doing it...

    That's some deep sh*t, man. You're usually only this profound when gushing about the 90s.

    Also worth recognising that we've played just 4 games since the 17th of March - so hardly a relentless schedule. And only 3 players have played 75+ minutes in at least 3 of those 4 games (Brown and Long - machines in terms of fitness, and Murphy - who was very sensibly hooked very early on...

    Or (worse) - we'd win a hard-earned throw-in midway through the opposition half, take it quickly, but simply throw it back to full back/centre-half to stroke around again - back to square one. Whilst doing things quickly was imperative to our success on Saturday - it was more important that we...

    Not to mention the fact that people, ya know, move? I'm an exile now, but having grown up in South Oxon, I then moved out of home and lived permanently in OX1, OX4 and OX2 (twice). In OX2 I lived just off Woodstock Road and literally on Banbury Road - both at the top end (so very much in what...

    Moore has been missing from the starting XI on 4 occasions, Brannagan on 3 (different) occasions. The combined record is: P7 W0 D3 L4. (and one of the draws was Wycombe - when Brannagan himself came off the bench to rescue a point). By my reckoning, the last time we won a League One match...

    Wow! On close inspection it clear is. Some freebie, perhaps? Didn't really want it? But wait, here he is again in another (different) OUFC scarf... How much OUFC merch does Andrew Gant actually own? And more importantly, why? This is absolutely f*cking mental.
