The latest addition to the Oxford United squad was announced this afternoon as left-winger Mitchell Cole joined on a two-year contract. Cole was under contract at Stevenage (not Borough) FC, but was made available by United's fellow Conference promotion winners.

Burton Albion Oxford United and Burton Albion are no strangers to each other, having played as recently as 17 April 2009 at the Pirelli Stadium, just a week before Burton's promotion as Conference champions was confirmed.

Accrington Stanley This is the first of a series of articles (probably 23 in number, but you never can tell) in which we will take an in-depth (or in-shallow) look at next season's Division Four opposition.

In the group stages this hope was shown to have a basis, as the team opened with a 4-0 thrashing of Celtic with goals from  [ more ]

The 2009-10 season is now officially over, following yesterday's League 2 play-off final between Rotherham United and Dagenham & Redbridge. The Daggers won that game 3-2 to earn promotion, meaning that Ronnie Moore's Rotherham will be one of Oxford's opponents for next season, meaning a first trip for United to the Don Valley Stadium in  [ more ]
