United won their second successive friendly this evening, beating Shepshed Dynamo 5-2 in an open and entertaining game at Butthole Lane. Fielding a young side, only six of whom had played against Oxford City on Saturday, United found themselves under the cosh early on, with Alex Hook putting the hosts a goal up after just  [ more ]

United strolled to a comfortable victory over Oxford City at Court Place Farm this afternoon in their first pre-season friendly. The Us fielded a different side in each half which gave no real indication of what Graham Rix’s first choice eleven might be, but there were some players who shone. In the first half Leo  [ more ]

Another day, another signing. This time it’s Tommy Mooney, formerly from Swindon (although we can find it in our hearts to forgive him for that, unless he turns out to be crap). Mooney scored 19 goals last season, before Swindon wilted in the play-offs, to much hilarity. More importantly, he also scored huge amounts of  [ more ]

United today signed centre back Leo Roget on a two-year contract. Roget was most recently with Rushden & Diamonds, and before that at Brentford, having originally come up through the Southend youth system. The 26 year-old was actually on trial with United two years ago, when he actually scored in a 2-1 defeat at Nuneaton  [ more ]

In a dizzying spell of transfer activity Oxford have signed their second player in two days. Graham Rix has brought in 24 year old centre back David Woozley from promoted Torquay United. Woozley was club captain, and ever-present two seasons ago, although he only played 11 games last season. Woozley had been offered a new  [ more ]

Next season’s fixtures were released today, possibly the most eagerly anticipated event of the Summer (easily knocking the quarter-finals of the European Championships into a cocked hat). As usual there are some interesting titbits to highlight, although United’s opening game is away at Boston, the second season running where we’ve had to endure the roads  [ more ]

Graham Rix signed yet another of his old boys today, this time striker Lee Bradbury came on board to join up with his former manager at Portsmouth. Bradbury started his career at Pompey where he did well enough for Manchester City to sign him for a cool ?3 million, although this was in the profligate  [ more ]

Great news: the Rage On Sponsored Chris Hackett has eventually signed a new contract for United that will keep the flying winger at the KasStad for the next two seasons. Hackett has been at United since he was nine years old, and the former Oxfordshire sprint champion can scare defences witless with his blistering pace.  [ more ]

There were more doings and dealings today for United, although nothing seems to have been confirmed. Bradford City midfielder Robert Wolleaston is due to complete his signing tomorrow morning, as he is one of three players that the cash-strapped Yorkshire club, currently in administration, has been forced to release. It is possible that United are  [ more ]

Next season, as part of a marketing strategy by the Football League and their new sponsors Coca-bloody-Cola, United will be finding themselves playing in League Two, which is the rebranded Division Three, which in turn used to be Division Four. This ridiculous change is supposedly to con those naive fools at Sky and elsewhere that  [ more ]
