FAN’S VIEW: 2025/26 – No:1 For many years now whenever each season ends, I question whether I’ll carry on writing FVs for the following campaign. That’s mostly down to how much time it takes. I’ve always, up until now, come back somewhat refreshed and gone for it again. However last season I got later and  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.50: SWANSEA AWAY SWANSEA CITY 3 OXFORD UNITED 3 Well, here we are again at the end of another season. They come and go so quickly. This one seems to have been relentless, yet we’ve only played 49 competitive games (a nice round 50 FVs because I covered the friendly v  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.49: SUNDERLAND AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 2 SUNDERLAND 0 So we’ve made it to safety with one game to go. It’s been emotional. Saturday was very emotional. There have been times this season when we’ve played badly enough to deserve to go down but we only glance relatively briefly at how  [ more ]

CARDIFF CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 1 The Match Most important game of the season. Worst performance of the season. Best goal of the season. You thought the last FV was a short one, well I could quite easily leave this one as the shortest ever and stop now but I’m not going to because it  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.47: LEEDS AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 0 LEEDS UNITED 1 I know you won’t believe me but this is going to be a very short FV, due to time constraints and the fact that I don’t think there’s a huge amount to be said about the game. For some time I’d  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.46: SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY AWAY SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 0 OXFORD UNITED 1 Our second away win of the season could not have arrived in timelier fashion. Boy did we need this after the setback in midweek. There wasn’t much to choose between the two sides but I’m of the opinion that we were  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.45: QPR AT HOME Tuesday night’s results weren’t bad for us at all even though we ended up one point closer to the bottom three. Briefly the best odds around on us getting relegated lengthened from 7/2 to 9/2 but soon dropped back to 7/2 meaning money had been placed on  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.44: SHEFFIELD UNITED AT HOME Post match mutual appreciation OXFORD UNITED 1 SHEFFIELD UNITED 0 One post-match caller to Radio Oxford said he thought this was the best ever result we’ve had at the Kassam Stadium and he’s been going ever since we moved there. I know where he’s coming from  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.43: MIDDLESBROUGH AWAY MIDDLESBROUGH 2 OXFORD UNITED 1 Second trip of the season on a LRC coach for me and the smoothness of the journey was the complete opposite to the Carrow Road trek. Left Kidlington at around 8:30 and even with half an hour services stop was parked up right  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.42: WATFORD AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 1 WATFORD 0 Three o’clock kick off on Saturday. That’s extremely rare in this age of Sky TV dictatorship where money rules just about everything. I decided to take advantage and have some unrushed pre-match beer in the city centre. I can’t remember the last  [ more ]
