typical example of the Maxwell madness that plagued that era of our club...

I always liked Cap't Bob, until he started going a little loopy, although I did give him a bit of a talking to again about the pensions thing when I spoke to him in Tel Aviv last week.

Oxford went six points clear in the week with a last gasp screamer from Day.

Away to Stafford today where the Yellows could make history, they may for the first time take as many supporters as the home team.

Duffy has to again deputise for the injured Robinson who may be out for up to 12 weeks.

And another 1-0 win today - still 6 points clear and still undefeated...

Big game today,
Oxford at home to York who are third in the table.

Reports in the week are stating big crowds following the boys at present with attendance highest in the this division and the next and half way up the first.

Not bad

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Oxford 2 York 0
Duffy 14
Burgess 67

Highest conference crowd of the season helps Oxford see off the third place team York to stretch their lead to 8 points.

Your mates surname has caused a little rancour apparently, some sky TV bod was unable to pronounce it properly and has caused a little consternation with a Mail reporter.

The U's have been on Sky TV this season? Didn't know they covered the Conference...

Yes, but have thrown away the report, but you do have me  questioning myself now, it may well have happened in my alternative universe, but I certainly remember the reporter stating he got ready to enjoy watching the game.
Then went on to blast everything about the coverage, how they didn't show enough of the magnificent crowd, avoided the re-showing of bad tackles and of course his annoyance at the mis-pronounciation of Eddie's name.

But then again.........

Mon 18/09 19:30 Sky Sports 1 Crawley Town v Oxford Utd Conference

Just googled this, so my sanity survives for a few more minutes, by the way, to answer a previous post on a separate thread, I havn't watched it all the way thru either.

[Mossfinn]

Missed the game again the other night.

Very late penalty saves the game for Oxford, 90th minute second penalty of the game.

2-2 draw.

[Mossfinn]

Anyone see the old timers game tonight?

Several Oxford players on view, Ray Houghton, Mark Lawrenson and the great John Durnin was on view, scored a great goal too.

I didn't know he played for Liverpool.

Highlight of the night? old JD being assaulted as he went thru on goal by old Danny McGrain, probably the best full back in U.K history, fantastic.

Oh Yes, good old "Johnny Lager" as he was affectionally  known in Witney, played for Liverpool and then went to Pompey where he was quite sucessful.

But he was always "Trouble in Town" on a Saturday night, loved a scrap.

A good golfer too, he was a memeber at my club

[dantilley]

Yeah, Oxford has quite a strong connection with Liverpool actually. I can think of the following players off the top of my head who've played or managed for both clubs:

John Durnin (Oxford signed him from Liverpool, just about the only time it's been this way round I think, i.e. Liverpool first and Oxford later)
John Aldridge
Ray Houghton
Dean Saunders
Mark Wright (has played for and managed Oxford - not much chance of him managing Liverpool though!)
Mark Lawrenson (Managed Oxford)

Yes, I remember watching all these, but the one I remember most, believe it or not, was watching a young Wright making his debut and subsequent games.

He was literally head and shoulders above the rest in raw class, dominating the 18 yard box heading everything in sight.

Then went off to Southampton got beat up or arrested in somewhere exotic and a major bust up with laurie Mcm.

Can't quite remember, did he go Southampton>Liverpool or Liverpool> Southampton?

Guess memory is getting more hazy!!

Forest Green V Oxford tonight 7.45

[Mossfinn]

Heres another one for you TP.

I just read in the Mail that Gordon @!!?* Ramsey played for Oxford back in his Chef training days, did you know that?

I didn't.

Bit before my Time Moss

However, a great win last night, nine points clear, a return to the upper echelons is looming large even at this early stage.

Well I DID say that with the Bald Eagle as Manager you would go strait back up, and I hope you do.

You may get the chance to play SWINDON next  year if they fail to win promotion....of course I wish them the very best of luck, but then I am a complete liar !!!!
