By I don't care if the players are treated 'right' was that when you're on over a grand a week (as many were under Kassam) then I really couldn't care less if they got their lunches made for them and had overnight stays for anything over 2 hours - we generally lost more games when we stayed over the...

Working in MK (in fact I can see the hockey stadium from my window) I know the reason why the crowds are high is because they give a very large number of tickets to kids each week. These include kids from catchement areas that would previously have been areas which provided some Oxford fans - Buckin...
There was a lot of talk just after the takeover about how good it was that Oxford were debt free again, clearly a load of nonsense. For all Kassams faults he made the club turn a small profit in the last set of accounts. I know WPL aren't a charity but if they go on about investing in the club and h...
Re: Accounts
So we've gone from making a small profit to losing around half a million in a year when our crowds are well above what we would normally expect. The accounts are up to June 2006, so don't take into account anything from the current season (although I'd be surprised if, even with the increased crowd...

Well it clearly was very windy - I've not seen a corner flag, flag be blown off onto the pitch before. That said this doesn't excuse the tactics of using someone who can't win a header as a target man whilst playing our top scorer (who had a poor game) well I don't know where he was supposed to be p...

Whilst I feel Cocorron is our best centre back because hes not avaliable for the play offs I think we should play the back four that we take the field should we play Burton in the play offs in order to give them a chance to develop a understanding and play against the strike force they may face in a...

Re:
Well Duffy was involved in the build up to the first goal because he brought the ball down held it up and then gave it to a Oxford player thus enabling us to attack in numbers - something that no-one else had been able to do all night. But hey Marv and Duffy doing nothing..........it must have been...

I'm sorry but I don't agree with much of this, in my view Smith came out looking bad last night. It was obvious after about 15 minutes that sticking Burgess on the left touchline no matter where the ball was and Yemi miles away from Zeb was not going to work (in all honesty it was obvious to me afte...

Interview with Merry
Mainly positive but the sentance
'Are you going to remain as chairman for years to come?
"That's a good question," he replied. "I'm here for the time being. But life turns in different ways.'
hasn't really filled me with much confidence that he'll be in in even 5 years!

Re:
D'you think Yemi's strengths would be apparent playing on a pitch like a ploughed field? Why all this anti Smith nonsense? This year it appears, according to our fans, that finishing second will be a massive disaster, for which Smith will be responsible. If two, or more, went up automatically, as i...

Don't get me wrong I don't think the performance was that bad - there have certainly been worse but in terms of quality this was the worst game I have ever seen on TV at least Rushden knocked it about a bit - even Sky couldn't put a positive spin on things with 'interesting first half' being the bes...

Yemi Yemi Yemi
ON ON ON. So we've given up on trying to catch Daggers then, content with a point against a very poor Halifax team. Once we conceeded there was only one team looking for a win, new striker clearly knackered so why leave Yemi on the bench - I was fuming as the minutes ticked by. What a rubbish game, ...
