General Oxford United - Reasons to be cheerful!

[Foley]

Reasons to be cheerful: for the big games we can still make an atmosphere.

the stadium looks funky with electronic advertising and we should have it forever and the stadium debate will disappear

first one definitely not. Sounded great over espn.

second one it’s a big flippant but I agree with others that the stadium looked great

Progression, direction, anticipation.
Reasons to be cheerful 1. 2. 3. Blockheads!

f**k all reasons to be cheerful after that embarrassing away defeat to 10 men

I'm a glass half empty kinda guy, but I remain optimistic. We've still got a good squad, and we can still play good football. I don't believe the board don't want promotion, I just think they're trying to run a tight ship, and throwing money at a promotion push isn't the best strategy at the moment. Keep the faith - we can do this!
Just my view.

Even with the viagra adverts for all of those South Stand Upper prawn sandwich enthusiasts who struggle to perform when it matters

Exactly, people forget we're in a division with the likes of Sunderland, Portsmouth and Ipswich and still more than able to compete at the right end of it. And to be brutally honest, I'm glad we're being patient, building the club carefully and in a financially responsible way and would be a lot more concerned if we were going full-Bury and throwing millions at a promotion with no long-term plan. Yes we're having a blip, like all teams do, but still have a realistic chance of going up this year, and if we did it would be an incredible achievement.

Saying that, even if we did go up there would be plenty on here complaining that we didn't win the league by 20 points thanks to an unambitious board and their disgraceful investments in the academy and training facilities, rather than Will bloody Grigg

We're still within a shot of getting into the playoffs. If we string together a couple of good wins together we might be able to sneak through
