How to complete the season

[Wandering Yellow]

Oxford United football club don't get lucky breaks. Fact of life. We have to scrap for everything we get.

 

[Sir Winston]

inbreds are - (L2) champions by default

Great, after the lockdown, us so called vulnerable + 50’s can show our resurgent strength when we take the Town End again ?

Why did calling cards saying ‘You’ve just met the vulnerables + 50s‘ never catch on in the 80’s?

I can see another breakaway happening here with the top EFL clubs.

The Championship will become the PL2 soon. They’ve had PL2 in women’s and U23 football for years already. It’s been in front of us the whole time.

Game’s gone tbh.

Unless every team had played exactly the same number of home and away games, there is zero justification NOT to use the weighted PPG method.

They have talked about the advantage/disadvantage for teams with different run ins but then totally ignore that some teams have not played as many games or have played more home than away.

How on gods earth is non weighted PPG deemed the fairest outcome.

What a bunch of.....

Nothing has been agreed, so it's a little early to start dusting off the pitchforks and matching on the efl just yet.

It's NEVER too early for that!

Do effectively Wycombe play slightly over 18.5 home games using unweighted ppg.

I swear if Yeovil, Burton and WYCOMBE get into the Championship before us...

Erm, we've already been there. On more than 1 occasion.

I know which way I want the club to vote if they do, I don’t think Bolton and Southend deserve to go down, let alone Tranmere.

Bolton and Southend don’t deserve to go down?

Nah they have changed the name so we have never played in it, plus side of that is we never played non league either.

In my opinion they have a much stronger claim to a league one place than the team who sat top of league two before we shut down (but who would of fallen away).

Unfortunately there are some who believe that is true!

That would t be to difficult with me swinging my Zimmer frame around ?

1997 isn't that long ago. Before Barsham, granted.

Bloody kids.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

We were still in the Championship in 1999. If going to games during that period means I’m now old then to hell with all of it.

If I'm not old (and I tell myself I'm not) then you have a good few years yet. And I was cheering on Peter Foley at The Manor...

I was ‘cheering on’ Peter Fear.

I have a framed Peter Fear away match shirt signed by the 2002/3 squad on the wall of my pool room. How awesome is that!!!

Yeah, not very ? ?
