Sorry TP , I forgot this was a Reading Oxford Thread....

Unfortunatley its a more interesting thread than the Reading one No other Royals fans on TV

I come here because I get lonely

[Mossfinn]

Wycombe in the next round......... and still the only unbeaten team in the top five divisions.

Moss

My uncle snagged me a ticket - I'll be there for that match.

Pretty lucky that, I'd say.

Only 100 tickets left at the moment and they havn't even gone on general sale.

Only season ticket holders at present and until the end of today.

Moss

[britmaveric]

Aye Mossy - Uncle's a season ticket holder. Membership has priviledges!!

[Mossfinn]

All gone now Brit......

should be a great game, I fancy a turn-over.

Hope you enjoy it, wrap up well its cold over here....

Good Luck

[Mossfinn]

A good little report in the mail today.

It was 20 years ago today that the boys stuffed United 2-0 in Fergusons first game in charge of MU.

Goals from Aldridge and Slatter, rememer him?

What a contrast now with the boys out of the league and MU top.

Moss

[dantilley]

Yeah, I was there and was actually caught on camera with my dad celebrating the first goal, featured on Central News later that evening...

[ThaiPauly]

Briggsey was the star of that game. A collossus in defence that night, dealt with everything United could throw at them

Last time I saw him he was running a boozer on Church Green, Witney.

So where is Malcolm Shotton these days?

My ex-girlfreind used to be nanny to his Assistant Manager "Flapper" Harrison's kids, She told me of a big piss-up they had at his gaff once, when she got to work in the morning Arsenal's Steve Bould was spark out on the Sofa

[dboy]

sadly out of the cup,still going strong in the league the main thing.wonder if brit will give a report on the game

[Mossfinn]

Reality bites eh lads

Wycombe are a team to be reckoned with...and they inflicted your first defeat of the season upon you.

Wycombe Wanderers are a team with a GREAT history are they not?

Sorry,Cant help it...we just beat Spurs 3-1..gloat gloat

I was at the Manor 20 years ago ..exactly... when Spurs beat Oxford 3-2 in the First divison.

A Glen Hoddle inspired victory if my memory serves me well. I had some good freinds that were Spurs fans so I just went along for the fun.( Reading were divison 3 at this time.)..and rubbish, but you support who you support dont you?

You will have your work cut out to stay up ..as you will definatley be coming up, but fair play to you guys for staying loyal to your team...it would be so so easy to nip down the A40 to see some real classy football But you won't and I would not respect you if you did, you cannot change who you support ..you stick with it through thick and thin...and this is thin.....

good luck in your next Conference game.

PS..If you want me to but out I will..but I hope not...I have a soft spot for Oxford.....I HATE them less than Swindon Now we have to have some new enimies..Portsmouth for one. I dont like them and I HATE Harry Redknapp...he was supposed to come to a charity golf day I organised on behalf of CLICK (Cancer and Lukemia in Children)...I had sold tickets for Golf Club Secretaries to play in his foursome...but after writing to me to accept..he never showed..cost CLICK a lot of money ...Wank-r

[Mossfinn]

Reality bites eh lads

From what I can gather TP, the boys put up a great fight, scored late on to equalize and then switched off and let Wycombe in to score with only minutes remaining.

It was almost a trip back to the slope at the Manor, ah to the think of the good old days

Oh, by the way TP

Now you can butt out

Good Luck

Moss

[britmaveric]

Well no match report, I was drinking a strongbow with dboy.

Seems my uncle isnt a season ticket holder, so alas he was attempting to get tickets for the match and it was a nonstarter. Tried to get tickets as a new Wycome supporter, but apparently need be one for a year??? Disappointing result, but spose Oxford can concentrate on getting back in the league now.

[dboy]

well brit strongbow was good, result not good,come may oxford no 1

Fair enough...

Good bye and thank you......maybee see you on the Swindon Forum........if there is such a thing

Good luck with the rest of your campaign...I am sure you will be back in the league next year.

It was nice looking back...you are a great bunch of lads....but as I have been sent off I will take it like a man

Aww, C'mon TP, I was only joking.

Great to have other parties taking an interest in the forum, but if you set up a Swindon Thread I'll never forgive you.

[ThaiPauly]

Thanks Moss for recinding my red card.

I don't get to have too much banter on the Readiing thread.......

Its a bit like the Park End Club Everyone knows where it is..but nobody wants to go there !!!

[dantilley]

Yeah, I made a vow to myself never to set foot in that place again...

[Mossfinn]

Park End Club, now that could have a thread all on its own.

It is many years since I have been there and have no intention of going back...........

Moss

[ThaiPauly]

Last time I went there unfortunatley I met my EX-WIFE...pity it even existed...I would be one he11uav lot richer if it had not !!!

[dantilley]

Well, looks like we're not invincible then.... first league defeat of the season, 1-0 to Gravesend. Still 2 points clear at the top, though, and 10 points ahead of Weymouth in third.

[Mossfinn]

Oxford have to get back in the saddle and start winning again, two successive defeats and Dagenham are breathing down our necks.

Home to Tamworth today, and its windy and rainy.

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Late Duffy pen saves the day.

Still a bit tough going but a win is a win as they say.

The Dags won again, Weymouth stuffed and Gravesend have put a run together and are now third.

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Away to Stevenage today, could be a toughie.

No home game until after xmas, have got to get back to winning ways on the road.

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Roller coaster game today.

Half way thru second half 2-0 to Stevenage, even after having a man sent off.

Oxford pull a goal back and then Stevenage have another man sent off, Oxford immediately equalize.

[Mossfinn]

2-2 Final score, and we were lucky at the end even against 9 men.

Things I fear will have to get better.

The Dags draw too, so its all the same at the top.

Good Luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Still top going into xmas, but unless Smith gets a grip soon, the wheels look like they are coming off

Hey Moss...what happened to that 9 point lead? I thought it was a done deal?

I have not seen you loosing many matches..is it too many draws and the other team behind you winning every game.?

Would not like to see you mess it up now, I really would'nt

[dantilley]

Have had 2 losses now, so not quite such runaway leaders. Dag & Red are still winning a lot. We're still 8 points clear of third (so 8 points clear in the promotion spots) so I don't see it being a problem to go straight back up...

[britmaveric]

[Mossfinn]

so I don't see it being a problem to go straight back up...

Hope your right, but I have seen this dramatic loss of form before, including last season, they need to get the wheels back on sharpish.

The trouble is they are playing pretty awful at the moment and are lucky the chasers have slipped up recently too.

Not posting for a few weeks, see you in the New Year.

Good Luck
