Home Match Build-Up 26/04/25: Championship: OUFC v Sunderland

[Stranger]

Yes, last weekend ref'd Brentford v Brighton. Has given 3 penalties all season, and same number of red cards. Ref'd Sunderland v Leeds earlier in the season. Last ref'd us in the 1-1 draw at Pompey in 2020, awarded us a penalty that Gorrin scored.

Awarded us a what now?

 

[Eric Blair]

Twenty-one words of truth even.

That has broken me. I can only apologise.

 

[Scotchegg]

Amen brother.

I need some positivity and wise words from @Scotchegg

Oxford United is like a good Netflix series, there are highs, there are lows. There are emotions and intrigue. Humour and moments that provoke anger. But it all leads to a memorable season ending moment where everything comes together beautifully.

Tomorrow is our moment. We WILL win and we WILL be safe.

Speaking of Netflix, isn't it about time they followed a new Championship club, with aspirations of better things? A team that had seen glory but had also seen despair. A club with a totally inept management team, with decades of experience..... Now, where have I seen that before?!

 

[Oxymoron]

Dear God, imagine the recording of the planning meeting for the new stadium....

Finished work, nothing to take my mind off tomorrow's game now. Nervous already.

I remember a Mackem invading the pitch back in the 70's. Might have been the game Nobby Clarke scored from miles out. Does anyone know if that goal is on YouTube I'd love to see it again.

I love it too, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes I look at those who don’t and wish I was them.

I was defo that person in Covid when we lost at Wembley to a penalty for Wycombe

It’s the extreme emotions that make it hard. Utter joy at Wembley against Bolton and then a week of anxiety for me ahead of tomorrow. I hate football for making me a slave to all those emotions (but then love it to). The complexity of the human condition.

I presume they are from Windmill School in Headington, where my kids went to primary.

I’ve just got back from holiday.

My missus asked me if I enjoyed it, and then asked if there was football tomorrow.

Yes, there is.

Now I wish I was on holiday again.

I am very nervous.

Greg Leigh last minute equaliser to keep us up. I will be happy again.

Might go and stick my head in the sand for the day

Oxford 2 Sunderland 2

I just found the final league table online of the great day out at Tranmere in 1992 - we finished on 50pts.

Job done!
