YouTube You are my Oxford podcast

Thank you so much, genuinely appreciated.💛
You don't need to use the hard sell on me, I've been subscribed since the first episode and have watched every one.

If anyone else isn't watching these, what are you doing with your life? Make time!!!
 
Beautifully put together guys - just perfect! 💛

I was lucky enough to get the supporters coach up to merseyside for the Tranmere game as a twelve year old. Also, as mentioned I too was almost in line with the Blackpool volley in the Beech Rd upper tier.

So many great goals, but I'd probably be in agreement with Beano's top 3 selection.

Thank you for everything Joey 🙏

Thanks for the lovely words. Wish I'd been at Tranmere, but had to work that day. One of my big regrets.
 
We discuss our route to safety AND our inability to score goals and we uncover the true story of the 1996 squad's promotion song with Mac from Arthur Turner's Lovechild. Plus a heap more.





 
Bumper edition: 2 wins. A total Reck. A wild draw from 1988. A spreadsheet that will blow your mind. And a debate about who is the greatest ever loan signing.





 
Episode 20 of this season already and still knocking out bangers.

Or in this case, Banger.

We meet former Oxford United forward Nicky Banger who gives the inside story on that FA Cup penalty heartbreak against Chelsea, plus a whole lot more in a lovely, hilarious interview.

Plus we review results, debts, shirts and statistics. And move over Jon Narbett, there's a new game in town.

It’s annoying that Nicky sat on the fence when it came to his views on Jemson…😂

I feel Dan missed a trick by not inserting a few "orange" puns into the questions. I'm sure Yellow Fever (or maybe it was Rage On) spent some considerable time riffing on the complexion of Nicky Banger's face.

I always thought he came across as a bit of an arrogant showman but I was very wrong. He seems a top guy.

Good podcast.
I was at Sheffield United for the win when Banger scored that free kick. It was a Friday night game for some reason?
There have been many insinuations about Nigel Jemson over the years , but I have never heard somebody being quite as clear about what they thought!
Love the stats section and I would never have believed that we have been quite so awful in the second half
 
Something I've learned over time, and especially from these pods is that footballers are just totally normal people who happen to be good at football, but have all the same emotions, feelings, s**t going on behind the scenes, issues etc that we all have.

Honestly, I regret giving players a hard time now, both on the terraces and in print, because I'd never say those things to their face... So why does that make it alright to shout it or type it? And if someone's playing badly, calling them every name under the sun definitely isn't going to help them or anyone.

Didn't love Nicky as a player, but he was a genuinely nice bloke.

I'm guessing he's matured though, as we all do. Maybe him and Jemmo wound each other up because they were too similar?

Completely agree, he came across really well, as have all your guests (so far!)
 
What a great listen. Excellent to hear what he’s been doing since he left football.
You know I love an opportunity to promote our pod:

Matt Green interview
Soccer Six winner Paul Swannack and Michael Raynes
Mac from Arthur Turner's Lovechild
Mark Rawle interview
Sky Sports commentator and OUFC fan Simon Watts
JON NARBETT interview
Matty Taylor interview

There have been others but this will keep you going.

What else do you do on a Wednesday night at 7.45pm?

You tune in to see Dan and Matt channel their inner Brian Horton at try to rescue a striker-less, broke team from certain relegation.

I'll be online with @SwissYellow to answer your questions about anything, from our obsession with Jon Narbett to who the hell are we signing.

 
Dan and Matt reflect on Oxford United's agonising days out against #pompey and Hull City #tigers. Dan has a right moan about moaners. Theo works out our survival stats. Matt reminisces about playing with the Milk Cup heroes of 1986. And we recall that wonderful promotion of 2016. #oufc





 
@DanC - couldn’t agree more with your sentiments re balling out players at games. It’s lunacy. I’ve called a number of fans out this season (largely at away games as I sit around the same people most weeks at home games) and it invariably gets a sullen ‘I pay my money, player x is sh*t’ retort.

I don’t actually get so annoyed at it in forums such as this (albeit it’s not normally my style). A place like this should be for debate and we don’t need to be universally positive or in agreement here. As long as you’re not ‘@-ing’ players in their socials and spouting all manner of personal abuse, we should be able to debate performances, players etc in a respectful way.

But it will always bewilder and baffle me how anyone could pay their hard-earned money just to turn up and make themselves thoroughly miserable screaming at certain players. It was Vaulks for the first half of last season. It’s been Harris (a lot) ever since. It’s not something I’ll get on board with and you’re totally right that we need to be on the same page, supportive and positive of the players in these last five cup finals!

Totally agree, thank you.
 
Enjoyed the episode.

I too, don't get the slagging off of our players ( I suspect that the vast majority dont)
So all in favour of the rant!

Great memories re the Wycombe game. One of the great games in recent years.

thank you! Wycombe was a culmination of a glorious season and a glorious team. Loved them all.
 


In our latest episode of the You are my Oxford show, I went on a bit of a rant about moaning fans, and we're getting messages from people who are sick of it too. You can see the clip above.

I really want to stress for those that comment without watching, this isn't about the collective. Our support, especially at away games, is incredible.

But why do individuals slag off our own players, either at matches or online? Who do they think it's helping? If a player is having a hard time, getting on their back sure as hell isn't going to help them.

The club released a video last week with Will Lankshear urging the fans to support the team. That doesn't just mean turning up and paying your money and cheering if/when we score. It means identifying that a player might be low on confidence. Or they might be having a hard time in their personal life. Or they might be struggling to settle at a new club in a new city. Or they might be up against a really good player that day. Or they're just having a bad game.

But getting on their back isn't going to help them. Supporting them will.

After the Hull game, Mark Harris came over to applaud the fans. He was clearly gutted having been within an inch of winning us the game. A bloke near me screamed 'don't clap that useless c***'.

What the hell is that going to achieve? Is it going to make him feel better about himself? Is it going to give him confidence to score the next one? Is it going to inspire him to do better next time? It is going to make him feel that he has to do everything for the fans.

How would you feel if everytime you made a mistake, loads of people - who are meant to be on your side - screamed abuse at you?

I took a colleague and her son to the Blackburn game - A GAME WE WON. Afterwards I asked if they enjoyed it. The game was great, she said, but why do our fans swear so much at Oxford players?

Everyone I know who goes to games hates it. It makes going to the game less fun.

We are supporters. The clue is in the name. Support your team. The 'I pay my money, it's my right to voice my opinion' argument is bullsh*t.

I know this is a minority - although it's not a tiny amount of people sadly. I stress again - our collective support is great.

But if you do it, I beg you to stop slagging off your own team.

Definitely didn't post this in this thread. Wanted it to start a debate. Bloody admins.
 
Quiz:

Watch this video and tell me the significance of the song we've used.




drop us an email at you are my oxford at g mail dot com and the first person to get the correct answer gets a shout out on the pod. And maybe a prize.
 
Wait - you want more 1986 themed content?

Peter Rhoades-Brown joins us to talk about missing out through injury, his unsuccessful foray into ticket touting, which player he caught doing a wee in a hotel plant, and he helps us place a present day value on the team of '86.



 
Chey Dunkley lightens our mood after yesterday's relegation.



 
A reminder to watch our lovely interview with Chey Dunkley. He's glowing about his time at the club and that glorious team of 10 years ago... and hear the story about the incident in the tunnel at Swindon.
