We've no AdiAdi Viveash has returned to Reading as his second loan spell at Oxford has come to an end. In theory he could have played this Saturday at Dover but Reading, in an attempt to force United's hand to take Viveash permanently, have not given him permission to play, thus ending the loan slightly  [ more ]

Dale bashedUnited produced one of their best home performances of the season today as they beat Paul Simpson's Rochdale 2-0 with a goal in each half. After just 17 minutes James Hunt put Oxford ahead with a sweetly struck shot from twelve yards and United rode out the first half quite comfortably. Steve Basham then  [ more ]

Stockley's a U againSam Stockley's on-off transfer to Colchester has finally gone ahead, finalised just one minute before the deadline allowing him to play tomorrow. There was originally a dispute between the two clubs over a sell-on clause in Stockley's contract, with Colchester refusing to countenance one, but apparently United secretary Mick Brown stepped in  [ more ]

Hasta la VillaThree goals in the last sixteen minutes saw the Premiership side deservedly beat United tonight, although the scoreline more than flattered them. In the first half United were the equals of Villa, and although not as lively in the second half it was United who had the better chance when a scramble in  [ more ]

Aston la vistaTomorrow's visitors to the KasStad are Aston Villa, a small team from the outskirts of Walsall. One Villa web site is calling the Worthington Cup third round fixture “the biggest game of Villa's season”, but compared to their other opposition that's not unreasonable. The game is a complete sell out so, depending on  [ more ]

Reserves bashedUnited's reserve team lost 4-1 in a friendly against Reading at Didcot this afternoon. United's goal was scored by Dexter Blackstock. The game was called in order to give Steve Basham some extra match fitness, but was a bit of a damp squib from that point of view as Bash failed to play, following  [ more ]

United collapseOxford lost their second away game in succession at bottom of the table Carlisle, despite the home team having to play the last seventeen minutes with ten men, after Mark Summerbell was sent off for a second yellow card. The only goal of the game was scored by Brendan McGill after 33 minutes, although  [ more ]

Sam's still a UIt appears that we were a bit premature with our news yesterday that Sam Stockley had joined Colchester permanently, as he today returned to Oxford after the two clubs were unable to agree terms, much to Colchester's chagrin. It would seem that the two clubs were all set to sign the forms  [ more ]

Slack at MaccUnited went down 2-1 at Macclesfield to end their excellent unbeaten away record, although the game was not without controversy. Macc went ahead in the 66th minute when a Kyle Lightbourne shot took a deflection off a clearly offside Matthew Tipton, neither official realising what was going on. As United pushed forward looking  [ more ]

Macclesfield tomorrowUnited visit Moss Rose tomorrow night, where the club has a 100% record of success. Carrying an eight match unbeaten run away from home United need the points on their travels due to their appalling home form. Expect there to be one or two changes from Saturday's team against Shrewsbury. ROS Chris Hackett is  [ more ]
