Oxford United visit Ashton Gate on Sunday (3pm) to take on third-placed Bristol City, with something akin to optimism following two decent home performances against Coventry City and Leicester City (so many cities).

Oxford United 0 Brighton & Hove Albion 6 (Carabao Cup 2nd round) This is the Fans View that no one wanted to write, least of all me. A quick pint of Camden Pale in the Golden Ball and then the 10-minute walk to the stadium, the throng of Oxford fans gradually getting larger until we  [ more ]

It’s League Cup time again at the Kas as Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion try to do what Colchester couldn’t and knock United out of the competition.
