October 16, 2006

United were handed a disappointing tie in today’s draw for the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round, with another trip to Dagenham & Redbridge.

Low Alty-tude

October 14, 2006

Altering them?

October 13, 2006

Tonight we’re doing our Nailsworth

October 6, 2006

United make the shortish trip to Nailsworth this evening, to play Forest Green Rovers. This Gloucestershire town must surely be the smallest locale in England to host a national league football team. This is the first time that the sides have met in proper competition, although Oxford did visit FGR prior to the start of  more ]

Lefthanders from the Phat planet

October 3, 2006

Southport are lined up to be Oxford’s latest victims when they visit the United Stadium later this evening. Being a midweek game, and with the Woolybacks likely to bring only a very small following, tonight’s attendance is unlikely to set any records, but there should still be a large, vociferous following as United try to  more ]
