We shouldn't ever be turning up at home irrespective of the opposition and scavenging around for the draw. You only take the draw if we are losing with a minute to go lol.

2-1 Oxford with our two goals coming in the second half.

Ol' adage.....play the team and not the name as our home games are obviously where the majority of our points are going to come from and atm the proof is in the home championship table and not the away day pudding.

COYY'S
 
Its a "must win" for me, got a Burnley supporting friend who will dine out on it forever if they win. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Yes, must win for me just because I shared a flat in uni with a burnley fan and he was just a genuine t**t.

I went to burnley once and it's a horrible shithole so I will take 0 comments from their fans about the Kassam.
 
WE’VE MET U BEFORE

Oxford Utd and Burnley have only played each other 14 times in the EFL. Oxford have three league victories to Burnley’s five. Oxford have won two FA Cup ties
against Burnley.

The last time the U’s and the Clarets met each other in Oxfordshire was at the old Manor Ground on April 15th 2000. United were fighting a relegation battle whilst Burnley
were aiming for promotion to what is now called the Championsip. After taking a 13th minute lead through midfielder Matt Murphy, Claret’s equalised with five minutes remaining when centre-back Steve Davis headed in and with seconds to go sub Ian Wright crossed for fellow sub Paul Weller to direct another header past the despairing
dive of ‘keeper Richard Knight.

United under Denis Smith managed to stay up in 1999-2000 and Burnley - managed by Stan Ternent - finished runners up to Champions Preston North End.

U’s: Richard Knight - Les Robinson Mark Watson Phil Whelan Paul Powell - Jamie Cook Eddie Newton Paul Tait Matt Murphy - Derek Lilley Steve Anthrobus

Subs: Pal Lundin, Neil McGowan, Simon Weatherstone, Nigel Jemson and Robert Folland.

Burnley: Paul Crichton - Dean West Steve Davis Mitchell Thomas Ian Cox - Paul Smith Graham Branch Paul Cook Lenny Johnrose - Micky Mellon Andy Payton

Subs: Ian Wright, Paul Weller, Alan Lee, John Mullin and Ronnie Jepson.

Att: 7,549 including 2,121 from East Lancashire.

 
Just had a quick look and there are 6 exchange tickets left only!

The club need to tweet out something like 'another sell out' '4th consecutive league home sell out' or words to that effect to publicise the fact we've outgrown the Kassam Stadium ahead to the stadium planning decision in the new year.
 
I think when you’ve already won over half of your games in the season so far (and arguably deserved a draw in the only losses), and are 1-0 up at half time against a side who have lost their last two games 3-0 (and have only won once all season), and you’ve already hit the bar, and then miss a great chance to go 2-0 up… well, you can be excused for thinking you might win? I know football doesn’t always work like that, but there is some context for that thinking.

Spot on.

Add in the fact that Bristol City aren't pulling up any trees and I fully expected us to have a right good go and come away with a victory. Some fans expectation seems to have lowered and I'm not sure why. There are certain games I think we will lose, maybe convincingly, like Sheffield Utd, Burnley, Leeds, WBA away and one or two others. I'm not really expecting too much against those sort of sides at home either - a point will be a huge result for us. Others like Sunderland and Middlesbrough etc will be tough but away draws and the odd win shouldn't be out of the question. As for the rest - Bristol City included - I will be going in to those, just like I went in to every L1 game, expecting a positive result. Wont always happen but we can't go into these feeling we are in any way inferior.
 
I will always vote an Oxford United win, but I don't expect that. Against Burnley, as long as we put a good fight and don't get spanked I'll be OK with whatever the result. I'll still be miserable if we lose, cloud 9 if we win and a bit Meh!, if we draw. The reaction to a result never changes for me. Although to snatch a draw from the jaws of a defeat can be quite satisfying.

Ah I vote what I expect, not what I want. So I might vote a Burnley win here, or maybe a draw.
 
Saturday.
A34 closed Northbound from Hinksey Hill junction to Peartree .
Southern and beyond bypass will be busier
 

"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.
 
The bloke can really put you to sleep can't he? Expecting a dour game tomorrow. I voted for a win for us simply because we can win it. Once you have that doubt that your team could conceivably lose then you have lost. Always believe and show your support and you are over half way there to the win.
