It’s always good to wait a bit before posting, I find. Put down your thoughts while the emotions of the game are still raw and you’re liable to say things you might later regret, or that prove in hindsight to be inaccurate. Hence the slight delay in posting this Fans View (nothing to do with  [ more ]

United’s last visit to St Andrews – August 2016 (Photo: Darrell Fisher) Oxford United head to Birmingham City tomorrow afternoon still looking for their first point of the season, against a side that has forged a reputation as big spenders and potential promotion candidates. Clearly it’s not going to be an easy afternoon for the  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 2025/26 – HULL AWAY HULL CITY 3 OXFORD UNITED 2 So, with two games gone we’re pointless. A handful on social media among us seem to have already written the team off with 44 league games to go. I really do despair. That said I’m far from impressed with our start. We’ve lost  [ more ]

Following victories on Tuesday and Thursday nights, against Colchester United and Friends of Stratfield Brake, United take to the road for their first away game of the season this Sunday at Hull City. United’s last trip to the MKM Stadium was just five months ago and it ended in disappointment for the U’s, who lost  [ more ]

Last night, Cherwell District Council gave Oxford United an early birthday present. The CDC voted 14-1 (with three notable abstentions) to grant the club planning permission for its proposed 16,000-capacity stadium at the Triangle: a haggard piece of land between north Oxford and Kidlington currently used to grow willow for fencing. While this is the  [ more ]

Fielding a changed – but still relatively strong – side, United did just enough to ensure that they  [ more ]

It’s Oxford United’s favourite competition on Tuesday night, with the visit of Colchester United to Grenoble Road for a League Cup first round tie. There’s lots to debate around this one – United need to show some sort of response to Saturday’s defeat by Portsmouth, but on the other hand they can ill afford to  [ more ]

OXFORD UNITED 0 PORTSMOUTH 1 Well that was a disappointing way to start the season, although I don’t go along with all the doom and gloom that has been spouted by a few fans. But for a couple of (very) dodgy penalty decisions not going Oxford’s way, this could easily have ended in a draw  [ more ]

The new season starts tomorrow with a home game against United’s most frequent opponent, Portsmouth. This will be the 79th time Oxford have played Pompey in all competitions, with United winning 23 of the previous 78 games and Portsmouth with slightly the better record, having won 29.

FAN’S VIEW: 2025/26 – WHAT’S AHEAD? Pre-season Friendlies… …are not something I get very excited about although I am interested to know which players the manager is picking and how new additions fit in. I’ve been to Dublin and Glasgow in recent years but won’t venture much further afield. I have great admiration for those  [ more ]
