Stockley's a U againSam Stockley's on-off transfer to Colchester has finally gone ahead, finalised just one minute before the deadline allowing him to play tomorrow. There was originally a dispute between the two clubs over a sell-on clause in Stockley's contract, with Colchester refusing to countenance one, but apparently United secretary Mick Brown stepped in  [ more ]

Hasta la VillaThree goals in the last sixteen minutes saw the Premiership side deservedly beat United tonight, although the scoreline more than flattered them. In the first half United were the equals of Villa, and although not as lively in the second half it was United who had the better chance when a scramble in  [ more ]

Aston la vistaTomorrow's visitors to the KasStad are Aston Villa, a small team from the outskirts of Walsall. One Villa web site is calling the Worthington Cup third round fixture “the biggest game of Villa's season”, but compared to their other opposition that's not unreasonable. The game is a complete sell out so, depending on  [ more ]

Reserves bashedUnited's reserve team lost 4-1 in a friendly against Reading at Didcot this afternoon. United's goal was scored by Dexter Blackstock. The game was called in order to give Steve Basham some extra match fitness, but was a bit of a damp squib from that point of view as Bash failed to play, following  [ more ]

United collapseOxford lost their second away game in succession at bottom of the table Carlisle, despite the home team having to play the last seventeen minutes with ten men, after Mark Summerbell was sent off for a second yellow card. The only goal of the game was scored by Brendan McGill after 33 minutes, although  [ more ]

Sam's still a UIt appears that we were a bit premature with our news yesterday that Sam Stockley had joined Colchester permanently, as he today returned to Oxford after the two clubs were unable to agree terms, much to Colchester's chagrin. It would seem that the two clubs were all set to sign the forms  [ more ]

Slack at MaccUnited went down 2-1 at Macclesfield to end their excellent unbeaten away record, although the game was not without controversy. Macc went ahead in the 66th minute when a Kyle Lightbourne shot took a deflection off a clearly offside Matthew Tipton, neither official realising what was going on. As United pushed forward looking  [ more ]

Macclesfield tomorrowUnited visit Moss Rose tomorrow night, where the club has a 100% record of success. Carrying an eight match unbeaten run away from home United need the points on their travels due to their appalling home form. Expect there to be one or two changes from Saturday's team against Shrewsbury. ROS Chris Hackett is  [ more ]

United not shrewd enoughOxford raced into a two goal lead this afternoon, but two defensive lapses allowed Shrewsbury to level the scores before half-time. Andy Scott shot United ahead in the seventh minute and then another well taken goal by Jefferson Louis in the sixteenth minute put the Us in the driving seat. However just  [ more ]

Turning of the ShrewsJemmo's back in town on Saturday, no doubt already anticipating with relish the chorus of boos and abuse he will receive from a United crowd that without fail doesn't learn its lessons. Let's hope that Oxford's new found defensive resilience (notable by its absence on Tuesday) will be able to cope with  [ more ]
