Oxford will be hoping to maintain their 2005 unbeaten record at Lincoln on Saturday, despite Ramon Diaz today receiving the fourth division Manager of the Month award for services rendered to the League Managers’ Association. Lincoln are four points ahead of United, and have a game in hand, which makes it just that little bit  [ more ]

Ramon Diaz has been named as the fourth division Manager of the Month for January, following United’s unbeaten run in 2005. The run started with the 2-1 win over Wycombe on New Year’s Day, and included four wins and two draws. Oxford are now 13th in the table, just three points off the play-off places,  [ more ]

Raging Fever 4 Bristol Rovers Fans 5 Raging Fever almost broke their losing sequence in an entertaining game at Horspath Road, but not quite. Playing some smashing football, Fever took an early lead when debutant Gary Neville (no, not that one) headed a deep cross back across goal, and was on target when the ball  [ more ]

Oxford’s reserves side travelled to London Road and were soundly beaten by Peterborough’s reserves this afternoon. Posh won 3-0, although the last two goals came in the final five minutes, but this was a strong United side and, on paper at least, they should have done better. Oxford started well, but were eventually thankful for  [ more ]

United made it three wins on the trot with a fairly straightforward win over Ian Atkins’ Bristol Rovers. Oxford took the lead as early as the 13th minute, after Ryan Clarke had upended Tommy Mooney in the area. Clarke saved Lee Bradbury’s first penalty, but assistant referee T Mason adjudged that Clarke had come off  [ more ]

Bristol Rovers visit the KasStad tomorrow in an eagerly anticipated clash. United have two successive wins, are undefeated in 2005, and have caught up with Rovers on points, with only Oxford’s diabolical goal difference separating the sides. United have pretty much a full squad to choose from, with only Paul Wanless doubtful, and so Ramon  [ more ]

United played Cheltenham Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Iffley Road this afternoon, and ran out 2-1 winners. The game was goalless at half-time, but Damien Spencer gave the Robins the lead at the beginning of the second half. Three minutes later David Woozley equalised for United, and after some good saves from Simon Cox  [ more ]

Kidderminster Fans 12 (twelve) Raging Fever 1 Raging Fever were well and truly humbled by an obviously superior Harriers team at Wilden Village Cricket Club. Having lost the corresponding fixture 9-0 last season, the Oxford fans were happy to see the scoreline goalless midway through the first half. Indeed, Fever looked very comfortable during the  [ more ]

United remain unbeaten away under Ramon Diaz following today’s 3-1 win at Kidderminster, with a performance that proved that the Yeovil game last weekend was no fluke. After weathering some early Kiddy pressure, during which Chris Tardif had to make a couple of his trademark excellent saves, Oxford went on to dominate the remainder of  [ more ]

Oxford travel to Aggborough tomorrow, hoping to be able to avenge their defeat by Kidderminster last month. Oxford lost 2-0 at home to Kiddy, who were then bottom of the table, but have been unbeaten since that game, and it will be a very different looking United side that faces the Harriers. Horacio Rodrigues faces  [ more ]
