United make the trip to troubled Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow looking for a change in fortunes following their rather desperate performance and defeat at Wrexham on Wednesday. However shit Oxford were at the Racecourse Ground, the club’s on-field troubles fade into insignificance compared to those of the home team. Owned by Dejphon Chansiri since January 2015,  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW  2025/26 – WREXHAM AWAY This season I think our performances can be very broadly placed into one of three categories. Cat C (Poor/Very poor. Relegation on the cards). Cat B (Just about okay. Nothing to shout about but might just about keep us up). Cat A (Good/Very good. This is more like it.  [ more ]

Oxford United’s next game is in North Wales, as they visit the Racecourse Ground for the first time since December 2013. Mike Ford in action against Wrexham at the Manor in April 1996 (0-0 if anyone cares) On the face of it, United’s record against Wrexham is nothing to shout about, having won just seven  [ more ]

Stanley Mills fires United into the lead (photo: Steve Daniels) Yesterday, Oxford United thrashed Derby County 1-0 thanks to Stan Mills’ first goal of the season midway through the first half. It was the least the U’s deserved given their, quite frankly, embarrassing dominance over a Rams side that looked League Two worthy, at best.  [ more ]

The late Peter Houseman in action against Derby in a pre-season friendly in 1975 Football is back! After yet another interminable international break we have a game. Remember: it’s a 12:30 kick off, so don’t turn up at 2:30 as you’ll just block the exit for all the fans who actually did turn up at  [ more ]

What a game for the Oxford United Women’s team, smashing ten goals past a hapless Billericay side that must have wondered why they bothered to get on their bus in the first place, never mind getting off it once they arrived in Oxford. United were in top form from the off, using a quick press  [ more ]

Cameron Brannagan scores United’s previous penalty at Peterborough This is an article I thought I’d best write before Oxford’s next game, as there is always the possibility that the next match will render these musings irrelevent. Eighth May 2024 was the last time that the U’s were awarded a penalty kick. Over 17 months ago.  [ more ]

FAN’S VIEW  2025/26 – WATFORD AWAY This was one of the most disappointing displays I’ve seen from an Oxford team since we returned to the Championship. For me there was so much wrong with it. I came away feeling very dispirited. At best I think Watford are a mid-table outfit. They deserved to win. We  [ more ]

If Oxford had just one bogey club (we don’t, we have several, but read on) then it might as well be Watford. The U’s have beaten the Hornets just three times in the previous 28 meetings between the sides, and only eight times in the clubs’ 41 encounters, including last season’s 1-0 win at the  [ more ]

I think it’s reasonably to state that United’s goalless draw against QPR on Wednesday won’t go down as one of the most thrilling games of the season. It would be wrong to state it was a game without incidents, it’s just that those incidents weren’t ones that are going to imprint themselves on the memories  [ more ]
