Sad days indeed when PC's standards start dropping. That's how we lost the empire ! Quite so, all it took was one loosened bow tie before the royal toast and standards went out of the window. Tsk! A hot salty tear drips onto the arm of my Daniel Hanson Cashmere Check Dressing Gown. I didn't mean us to lose the empire lads, I just wanted to relax; and anyway I blame he BBC - when the newsreaders stopped wearing dinner jackets to read the news, that's when I knew it was over.

I've had a really good polish of the lucky glass ball over this one. I can foresee: Oxford United 2 (MacDonald and Maguire) Oldham Athletic 1. Att: 5,355 and 309 away fans. This game has the hallmarks of a 'classic' written all over it, but its the weirdness happening outside of the game that grabs me by the whatsits. Dunkley and Skarz will enter the arena leapfrogging over each other, apparently for a bet. Dunkley will accidentally 'lay the nut on Joe' during this frivolity and knock him senseless for a few seconds. Because its the festive season, MacDonald will bring a bunch of mistletoe out with him....and Skarzy (still a bit doolally) will plant a juicy big kiss on his unsuspecting lips. Skarz will be the first player ever, to be booked (before a game), for inciting rudeness. Eastwood's tattoo on his arm with 'make my day' on it, will have mysteriously disappeared. Turns out, it was only a 'henna' based one. For some reason, the scoreboard will have: 'Its 1999 - only 22 days till the next Millennium!' flashing across the screen. Then it will self-destruct and explode. Boris Johnson, freshly sacked after his recent comments about the Saudis, will be at the game and offer to relay the score through a loud speaker every five minutes, but be turned down politely by United, because they don't want to lower the tone of the place. Dunkley will head the ball away for a corner and it will fly up in the air so much, it will get stuck in one of the floodlights. Nelson will climb up to retrieve the ball - fall down - and fracture his coccyx. Six weeks out. Martin will laugh so much, he will have a hernia - six more bloody weeks out. The referee (Mr J. Corbyn - no relation) will forget his whistle and, because no-one has a spare one, will flash his laser-gun-torch-thingy, every time the game has to be stopped for free-kicks, etc. Two planes will crash into Blackbird Leys, as a result. One of the pilots will have an injured clavicle. Part of the half-time entertainment will be: 'Bang the barn door with a banjo and win a contract with Oxford United!'. Every f*cker will miss. After 67 minutes, a dog will run onto the pitch and have a banging good old shit. That just about does it for me. Was that the glass ball that replaced your left one after the unfortunate incident with the padlock and the cactus tree?.....

Shhhhhhhhhh.
Be interesting to see how the team gets on today - certainly I hope we aren't carrying on the Marv at left back experiment. That said, I hope a half fit Skarz doesn't play either.

Very worried on this one. When we should do well we seem to mess up. So it's not going to be the best game and a 1.1 draw of which we get a goal in the last minute of the game.

I hope Connor Ripley performs in a similar drops-easy-shots-into-the-net fashion to his last appearance at our place.
What a clanger...

This will be my first home game of the year. Been a bit cursed so far in that the other games I have witnessed have been MK Dons and Southend (in the league) away, and wimbledon and macclesfield on the telly. So, sorry lads, it's either going to be a 0-0 draw or a BTTS loss.

COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!!
Oldham will be smarting after they're FA Cup embarrassment. I like Hemmings confidence in talking up the importance of a fast start. Need a big effort to keep up our momentum.
I think 2-0 today. Maguire and Hall to open his new account

Good to see we are safe with the over the top barrier up behind the north stand protecting us from those nasty mancs!

At home? Or at the Kissass? Kissass, having a nice chat with gilly. So not that warm then. Although you're not in the "open" bars. Do they have that nice Shotover Prospect in there like they do "down here"?
