"The Clarets take on the U's at the Kassam Stadium this weekend, where Des Buckingham's side have won their opening three league fixtures and Parker is well aware of the test his squad will face in Wiltshire".

Hahaha f*cking jokers.

I suppose there's no 'Burnleyshire' so they must struggle with the concept of having your own f*cking county.

Let's hope their team are as sloppy as their media output.

f*****g morons!!!

I suggest our PR boys refer to them as being a small town in Blackburnshire.
 
Why couldn't they wait till the football is finished b4 closing the road down don't the club and the highway talk to each other
I don't think we should underestimate the chaos this will bring. The week before the start of the season we had a friendly v Palermo with a crowd less than half of what will be there this week. There was a road closure in East Oxford near the ground affecting the ring road. It took me an hour to get from the A34 roundabout at the bottom of Boars Hill to Blackbird Leys. I am one of these people who leaves stupidly early to get places. I think I might beat my personal best twice this week.
 
Rodrigues plays well, we have a chance. He’s the only one of the current midfielders capable of playing accurate balls into channels.
We won’t win this game with intricate interplay through the CM area, simply because we will have neither the possession nor the sustained field position.

Remarkable isn't it?

18 months ago Ruben was playing 5th tier football against Woking and Maidstone - and now he's being called upon to pull the strings against a top Championship side who's equivalent in the same position (Mejbri) spent last season at Manchester United and Seville (and was trusted off the bench against the likes of Liverpool and Bayern Munich).

It's been a wild 18 months for OUFC, and arguably even more-so for Ruben.

Just goes to show despite the insane amount of money flying about and how everything is pumped through elite clubs academies, every now and again there's a rags to riches story.

Much like this classic:

They checked the fixtures so why couldn't they wait a week?

Away last weekend. Away next weekend. International break the weekend after. They pick the one weekend in four we are at home. s**t for brains or what!
 
No question that Burnley will be a tough one tomorrow especially with our injuries starting to pile up.
However, if they pitch up here thinking that they can just saunter around and beat us with the handbrake still on then they could come unstuck.

We keep giving the effort that has been a factor in all of our games so far and there is hope of a positive result.
 
If anyone is looking for tickets I've just released my 2xSTs in the North stand for tomorrow's game as I can't get over from Essex this week.

I look at the Burnley midfield, and don't see a bunch of players that are likely to take anything for granted.
Cullen & Brownhill are super-experienced campaigners at this level and above (without being old - they're both late 20s). Gonna be tough for us in the middle of the park, especially without Cam.

Their attack is pretty green though (assuming they don't start Rodriguez) even if they are uber-talented......maybe they'll do some sauntering, or will just be generally nonplussed by the Kasstad?
