October 22, 2006Long wire with a plug
October 21, 2006Results in the Conference today went United’s way, as the chasing pack dropped points, and Oxford extended their lead at the top of the table.

Ra ra ra, we went and smashed the oiks
October 21, 2006United eased past Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium last night, as two goals from Yemi Odubade and one from Chris Hargreaves gave Oxford a comfortable 3-0 win.

From the Priory to the Abbey
October 20, 2006United visit Cambridge United this evening, in a game that has been rearranged from tomorrow at the request of the local Babylon dem.

The Us then had several more opportunities to [ more ]
Altering them?
October 13, 2006Oxford United welcome Altrincham to the United Stadium tomorrow, with the Us hoping to break a couple of records. Oxford’s 0-0 draw at Kidderminster on Tuesday allowed United to equal both the club’s best start to a season, set by Headington United at in the 1959/60 season, and the Conference’s best start to a season, [ more ]
You’ll win nothing with Kidders
October 10, 2006For the first time this season Oxford failed to score, as Kidderminster Harriers held them to a 0-0 draw at Aggborough. United created little, but did have the occasional chance, notably once when Yemi Odubade was played through by Steve Basham, but shot into the side netting.
