Thought we should have a proper MDT so taking the plunge again, Ill delete if someone else was going to do it.

Close game 1-1 for me and Im expecting Canice to play up front for a while to shake them up as with Wigan
 
The players were on it Saturday night. I cant see much of a being shift put in. I hope I am wrong. I would love to see Canice and Nappa start and Baptise off the bench. Why not Manny in goals.

Because we want to finish the season strong. Strongest possible side.We can still finish 13th and help one of the promotion winning side who gave so much to oxford (dunkley) win the league.

Can see plenty of shifts being put in especially by those Who may not be here next season (Rothwell)
 
1-1 KR to play like we did at Wigan and p**s the 25k Blackburn fans of and they're are winning 1-0 until a late Joe Rothwell goal ruins there title hopes.

Message should be simple from KR. The players that are staying are playing to keep there place And not become back up. The ones that are going are playing for.

Eastwood
Kane Dickie Nelson Ruffels
Napa Mousinho Brannagan Rothwell
Henry
Obika

Bench:Shearer Ricardinho Carroll Hopkins Mowatt James Hall

Whatever the result I'll be making sure to clap every player off especially Eastwood Kane And Rothwell as they have been influential to our survival and we may not see any of them play in yellow and blue again.

0-0 after 90 mins of sh*thousery preventing Blackburn winning the title after Wigan lose. COYY
I cant see it but would be fun. 5-0 to Blackburn. Tiger should load up and put next years players budget on a Rovers win @ 1/3. KR plays da kids, and has an extra million for 18/19 players budget :-) End of.
 
Hopefully Payne gets a good reception today, we never had the chance to give him a good send off and he was key to our success at start of season.

He'll start for Rovers with Dack out injured so i hope he has the worst 90 minutes of his career but at the end of it he gets a good reception along with the rest of the our players
 
KR will want to finish the season with a good performance so we might just spoil their party.
1-0 to the u’s
COYY
 
2-1 To the yellows just because we have a technically understrength team and we are playing 2nd from top of the league.

COYY
 
for the impressive amount of yellows taking on the lovely drive up the M6 .... a bit of handy info re 'pubs' around Ewood park
with a forecast of there being a 25k+ crowd, reckon the fanzone will be at capacity early on( whats the odds on the 1964 5th round facup match at the Manor NOT being screened?:cautious: ).... interesting to see the prices charged for inside the stadium beers etc ( shows just how mercenary the self appointed custodian of OUFC and stadium landlord is...in case we had forgotten!...... two pints for less then £7!!!! o_O )

PUBS FOR AWAY FANS
Behind the Bryan Douglas Darwen End, the Club have created a fanzone area, into which away fans are admitted. It has some large screens showing previous meetings between the two sides and more importantly food and drink outlets, where you can buy a 'Pie and a Pint' for £4.90. The closest pub to Ewood Park that away supporters can use is the Fernhurst pub on Bolton Road, which is only a five minute walk from the visitors turnstiles. Now part of the Hungry Horse chain, it quickly fills up on matchdays and once full no further fans are allowed entry, until people leave. However please note that in keeping with the 'families atmosphere' of the pub, fans are asked to refrain from singing. John Chadbourne a visiting Nottingham Forest supporter recommends Uncle Jacks on Branch Road; 'It welcomes away fans, has an excellent selection of beers, including cask ales. It is only a ten minute walk from Ewood Park'.
There is the Golden Cup pub which is further on past the Fernhurst (going away from the ground) on Bolton Road and is tucked in by the motorway bridge. However this Thwaites pub is quite small, gets rather crowded and it is a good 20 minute walk (and mostly uphill) from Ewood Park. It is friendly though and also offers a range of pies. You can also park at the pub for a cost of £5. If you have a bit of time on your hands and you like your real ale then Robert Bury suggests; 'The Black Bull pub at the top of Bog Height Road (this is the road next to the Golden Cup and the Black Bull pub is located one mile up this road on the left) is home to the Three B's Brewery and has up to eight ales on tap. You can also enjoy great views over the surrounding countryside and Blackburn from its elevated position.' On the other side of the M65 motorway on Blackburn Road but going in the opposite direction to Ewood Park towards Darwen, is the Anchor Hotel, which is also frequented by away fans.
Just around the corner from the entrance to Blackburn Railway Station is a Wetherspoons outlet called the Postal Order. Alcohol is also served within the ground in the form of; Fosters (£3.50 pint), John Smith's (£3.50 pint), Bulmers Cider (£2.70 bottle) and Wine (£3.90 small bottle). The Club offer two pints of lager or bitter for £6.70. You can even have them served in a two pint pot!
 
Looks like Robbie Hall isn't in 18 today. Reckon they don't want to risk any further setbacks for him now we're safe.

I’m pretty sure Uncle Firoz doesn’t set the price of the beer at the “Kasstad” [[emoji767] Radio Oxford].

Sat in the Fox and hounds now, proper northern pub.

maybe not directly.... however his 'rent' prices to franchises will have more than an influence.... I cant remember where I read/ or heard about it, but, I seem to recall the South stand lower, north and east stand concourse kiosk outlets alcohol prices are linked to/ the same as those charged in bar at the top of the stairs outside the hospitality boxes ?.... Quadrangle bar (or whatever name it has currently) alcohol prices too?
 
Same score and result from 54 years ago I fancy ...
3-1 to the mighty U's, and really P**s on rovers bonfire, with the young guns getting a rare first-team runout, amongst the goals and assists

Strewth Sarge, I remember it like it was 54 years ago. Bring back Mr Fish I say. We really do need to get our goal celebrations sorted out, has no one in Oxford played Fortnight and was that our Faz I saw in the Rovers team? Also, Mr Mixter must be doing his nut; the health and safety arrangements at the stadium look a bit dodgy.
 


Ledson on the bench, looks like it'll be a 433 with Henry and Napa playing outwide and Mousinho holding
