January 4, 2005Forever Bury 6 Raging Fever 3 Raging Fever made the long trip up North to find that the already impressive Bury outfit has got even younger and more organised since our last meeting, and a spirited, battling performance from the Oxford fans could not prevent another hatful of goals from being conceded on a muddy [ more ]
Spunky United keep clean sheet
January 3, 2005Oxford kept their first clean sheet since the end of October as they held Bury to a goalless draw at Gigg Lane this afternoon.

Happy New Year!
January 1, 2005United have a 100 percent record in 2005, thanks to one of their most resilient performances since moving to the KasStad, against local neighbours Wycombe Wanderers, wearing their new year comedy kit.

Fever grief
December 30, 2004Raging Fever 2 Kidderminster Fans 5 Raging Fever put up a brave display, but were ultimately well beaten by a superior outfit from Kidderminster. The first half was a well-contested affair, with the home team defending desperately in the initial stages, before settling down and passing the ball around nicely for a while. However, just [ more ]
Kidding ourselves
December 28, 2004You can’t make a silk purse from a pig’s ear, and United’s defenders certainly made a pig’s ear of this fixture. Oxford lost 2-0 to the team that was bottom of the league, and both Kidderminster’s goals were a result of appalling defending. After opening brightly and creating most of the first half chances, Leo [ more ]
Kiddies around
December 27, 2004Tomorrow sees the visit of the league’s worst club, as 92nd placed Kidderminster Harriers grace the KasStad with their presence. United will be determined to beat the Harriers, and continue their unbeaten run under Ramon Diaz, and indeed their 100 percent home record. Not to mention avoiding the humiliation of losing to the club at [ more ]
Goal Rush
December 26, 2004A high-scoring, open and exciting game at Nene Park encapsulated everything that is both right and wrong with Oxford at the moment. On the plus side, Oxford looked excellent going forwards, although were perhaps a bit poor with their finishing, while on the debit side the defending remains abysmal. The first decent move of the [ more ]
