FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.44: SHEFFIELD UNITED AT HOME Post match mutual appreciation OXFORD UNITED 1 SHEFFIELD UNITED 0 One post-match caller to Radio Oxford said he thought this was the best ever result we’ve had at the Kassam Stadium and he’s been going ever since we moved there. I know where he’s coming from  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.43: MIDDLESBROUGH AWAY MIDDLESBROUGH 2 OXFORD UNITED 1 Second trip of the season on a LRC coach for me and the smoothness of the journey was the complete opposite to the Carrow Road trek. Left Kidlington at around 8:30 and even with half an hour services stop was parked up right  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.42: WATFORD AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 1 WATFORD 0 Three o’clock kick off on Saturday. That’s extremely rare in this age of Sky TV dictatorship where money rules just about everything. I decided to take advantage and have some unrushed pre-match beer in the city centre. I can’t remember the last  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.41: HULL AWAY HULL CITY 2 OXFORD UNITED 1 Doom and gloom. Doom and gloom. But on a positive note I was picked up at home just gone 1 o’clock and despite there being delays on the M1 was walking through the door of the St Johns Hotel just before 5.  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.40: NORWICH AWAY NORWICH CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 1 Football is THE sport as far as I’m concerned. Always has been ever since I first discovered it and always will be. Played some local football at a very low level and now play a lot of walking football. But where most  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.39: COVENTRY AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 2 COVENTRY CITY 3 The talk as we left the ground after the game was that this was better. Radio Oxford summaries and callers said this was better. I thought this was better. How could it not be better? Not only did we have four  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.38: WEST BROM AWAY WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2 OXFORD UNITED 0 We knew this season was likely to be a long hard slog. That’s how it’s turning out and we’re currently going through a very painful period. Three points from the last six games. Four games without a goal scored and  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.37: PORTSMOUTH AT HOME OXFORD UNITED 0 PORTSMOUTH 2 From an Oxford United fan’s perspective this game, as far as the football was concerned, is largely one to forget although again we vastly improved as an attacking force when substitutions were made. This time it was in the 66th minute, a  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.36: DERBY AWAY DERBY COUNTY 0 OXFORD UNITED 0 I’d formed a view of where we’re at a couple of weeks before the Burnley game and after our visit to Turf Moor that didn’t change nor has it done after this stalemate. Obviously we’re in a much better place than when  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW: 24/25 – No.35: BURNLEY AWAY BURNLEY 1 OXFORD UNITED 0 So that’s the end of us remaining unbeaten under Gary Rowett. Nine games before it happened is some achievement and I don’t think even the most optimistic of fans amongst us saw that coming. Obviously our league position is so much healthier than  [ more ]
