Wells deeper The Les Wells caution case into his alleged right of way failed to get resolved today and is going to drag on, possibly into next week.

Drawn out United achieved a rare draw at the Manor tonight, only their third of the season, after once again going ahead. Darren Patterson scored on his home debut from an excellent Joey Beauchamp free kick in the 7th minute and, for a change, United maintained their lead until half-time. Andy Cooke equalised for the  [ more ]

Stoking the fires of relegation United welcome Stoke City to the Manor tomorrow night in a desparate attempt to look less inept than in their two previous home games.

Oxford travel to Gigg Lane tomorrow (well, actually they travelled today, but you get the drift) to face a Bury side bouyant after back to back wins (something that United can only dream of). On the plus side the Shakers have been shaken by injuries and suspensions, but on the minus  [ more ]

RAGE ONLINE IS BACK! Apologies for the lack of updates over the past week, but Rage Online suffered a severe systems failure (our computer crashed) but now we're back and will try to resume normal (or abnormal) service as soon as possible. While we were out… Quite a lot seems to have happened while we  [ more ]

On This Day Generally speaking, a good date for United. As far back as 1956 the U’s beat next season’s opponents Kidderminster Harriers 5-2 in a Southern League match at the Manor, including a hat-trick from Jimmy Smillie. Another of next season’s opposition, Cheltenham Town, fell at home to United 2-1 in Oxford’s final season  [ more ]

Lootin' Luton It was confirmed today that Joe Kinnear has become Luton Town's Director of Football, the same position he quit from Oxford a week ago because the poor sausage was so ill. It is also alleged that Kinnear is to invest up to £5 million in Luton as part of a takeover, and there  [ more ]
