FAN’S VIEW  2025/26 – WATFORD AWAY This was one of the most disappointing displays I’ve seen from an Oxford team since we returned to the Championship. For me there was so much wrong with it. I came away feeling very dispirited. At best I think Watford are a mid-table outfit. They deserved to win. We  [ more ]

If Oxford had just one bogey club (we don’t, we have several, but read on) then it might as well be Watford. The U’s have beaten the Hornets just three times in the previous 28 meetings between the sides, and only eight times in the clubs’ 41 encounters, including last season’s 1-0 win at the  [ more ]

I think it’s reasonably to state that United’s goalless draw against QPR on Wednesday won’t go down as one of the most thrilling games of the season. It would be wrong to state it was a game without incidents, it’s just that those incidents weren’t ones that are going to imprint themselves on the memories  [ more ]

Apologies for the headline – I was struggling! United travel to Loftus Road tomorrow evening hoping to get their season back on track following Saturday’s defeat by Sheffield United. Rangers are currently ninth in the fledgling Championship table while the weekend’s defeat saw the U’s drop back into the bottom three. Happier times as Jeremy  [ more ]

Oxford United 0 Sheffield United 1 Well that was as inevitable as something that was always bound to happen. United on a high following a brilliant win at Bristol City, at home to a club that had lost every game so far this season. There could only ever have been one outcome. Everyone in the  [ more ]

Played for both – the incomparable George Baldock Tomorrow, Oxford United, with five points from their last three games, take on bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United, who have lost their first six games of the season, hoping for a repeat of last season’s meeting. On that occasion, the Blades were top of the Championship but a goal  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 2025/26 – BRISTOL CITY AWAY BRISTOL CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 3 The trains might have been crowded and there was a dash at Didcot, but I managed to grab a seat for each leg of the journey, arriving at Temple Meads in good time to do a bit of tourism. I set off  [ more ]

Oxford United visit Ashton Gate on Sunday (3pm) to take on third-placed Bristol City, with something akin to optimism following two decent home performances against Coventry City and Leicester City (so many cities). Last season, exactly one year to the day before this weekend’s contest, the U’s took the lead in this fixture through the  [ more ]

Celebrating Nicole Barrett’s winning goal against Exeter City. Photo: Liam Faulkner There was something in the air at the MGroup Stadium on Sunday, and I don’t mean the rain (although that was there too, in droves). It was something akin to joy. Not just the joy of a hard-fought but eventually well-deserved win, but simply  [ more ]

In the end, this was a game of mixed emotions. Before kick off, I’m sure the majority of Oxford fans would have been happy with a point from a side that was fourth in the table having been relegated from the Premier League last season. By the time the full-time whistle blew, most fans were  [ more ]
