No bonus without proper use of apostrophes.

Arghhh, don't say things like that: it sounds like Optimistic Ox and "there's no chance of us not being promoted as champions with a record points total"

Put it this way, another win would guarantee us finishing above Kettering and Kidderminster (and Mansfield and Crawley with goal difference). One more win on top of that and Wimbledon could only catch us on points, although their goal difference might put them ahead of us if they won all those games. 7 points and we can't finish lower than fifth.

We are Oxford, though. Unregistered players? Other misdemeanours carrying penalties (e.g. turn up with the white away kit to play Salisbury)? Forest Green fold and results are expunged?

How about:
We win at Hayes and beat Salisbury.
Luton win at Stevenage and draw with Grays.
Stevenage lose at Wimbledon.
Thus leaving the table:
Stevenage 39 - 81
Luton 40 - 80
Oxford 39 - 79
Right back in it!
Or have I just lost it totally now?!?

I think the clues may be in Luton draw and Stevenage lose!

Oh. I thought us winning two in a row was the most unlikely thing there.

My Ladbrokes 'Odds On' reward account has just provided me with a £5 free bet - literally just had the text message.
I'm gonna stick it on OUFC to win the title!
I don't know the odds yet but I'll let you know.
Clutching at straws???

10/1
I thought that was a little long beating in mind the forthcoming fixtures.

Disagree.
Maybe the 12th Man Fund people could arrange for a case of Southern Comfort to be deliverered to Les Wells' house?
Yes, yes, Snake is barking mad.

Agreed. You're a supporter, why don't you do it?
Because it was the club owner that pissed him off and not me.
For the record I bought him more than one Southern Comfort to try to oil the wheels of the Land Deal.
As for clutching at straws then I honestly have no idea what will happen next, but I’ve cancelled my hotel booking in Eastbourne and am currently looking at options near to Wembley Stadium in May (so long as they can be cancelled).
