FAN’S VIEW 21/22 – NO.46 – SUNDERLAND AT HOME Pre-match pondering? The enormity of this game goes without saying.

FAN’S VIEW 21/22 – NO.41 OXFORD UNITED 4 BURTON ALBION 1 When I raise in debate that our defending is not at the standard of the best in L1 I think some people just have me down as a moaner. They look no further than the happiness we get from currently being served some of  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 21/22 – NO.40 PORTSMOUTH 3 OXFORD UNITED 2 Portsmouth is not a place where I’ve ever visited a handful of pubs before a match. I’d not realised before this trip that there are so many real ale pubs within two and a half miles of Fratton Park. The Good Beer Guide (GBG) lists  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW 21/22 – NO.39 OXFORD UNITED 4 CAMBRIDGE UNITED 2 I knew there would be a decent turnout for Joey but had not quite appreciated how many and what it would actually feel like. This was our fourth home league game in a row where the crowd has been over 10k. (Has that ever  [ more ]
