Notts landed
August 30, 2004County bound
August 29, 2004United visit Notts County tomorrow afternoon, looking for their first away win under Graham Rix.

The Us will be going into this game full of confidence following yesterday’s win over Shrewsbury, not just for the result, [ more ]
Fever plagued by Shrews
August 28, 2004Raging Fever’s first game of the new season saw them beaten 7-4 by their Shrewsbury counterparts, a result that perhaps doesn’t totally reflect the level of play.

Shrews are rats
August 28, 2004Despite a desperate attempt by Shrewsbury to score a goal contrary to the unwritten rules of sportsmanship, United ran out 2-0 winners over one of the worst sides to have visited the new stadium.

Oh, ’tis Reading
August 24, 2004Reading return to Oxford tomorrow as, for the second season running, they face United in the Carling Cup. Last season the Royals won 3-1, Oxford’s goal heralding a return to the team for Jefferson Louis. Louis is unlikely to feature tomorrow evening, although United will certainly have to make a number of changes following their [ more ]
Two sides to every story
August 21, 2004Oxford went to the two-sided Matchroom Stadium (otherwise known as Brisbane Road) and came away with a point and a clean sheet after holding Orient to a 0-0 draw. After just seven minutes former U Andy Scott headed against the bar from just three yards when he should have scored (but how often did we [ more ]
Orient expression
August 19, 2004United play their second away match of the season on Saturday, at Leyton Orient. Because the Matchstick Stadium has been half demolished the ground will actually have one fewer side than the KasStad. Unfortunately this means that United have only been allocated 500 tickets, but at least Oxford’s supporters won’t be stuck on an open [ more ]
Your winning Rage On
August 17, 2004Rage On produced yet another winning team, as last night we proved ourselves the brains of Oxford United, sweeping to a classic victory in the OxVox Quiz Night at the Priory & ?.
