Probably about time for some talk about football on here!
So I'm assuming Skarz is going to start on Saturday. I'm which case, we'll have a changed 11. Thoughts on who comes out?

The ref for Saturday is Charles Breakspear. Has ref'd 23 games in the season so far showing 100 yellow and 5 red cards (10 games with 5 or more yellow cards including one where he showed 10). He ref'd the OUFC game at Bristol Rovers showing 6 yellow cards and a red to Sam Long. Indeed, he has sent off a player in every OUFC game he has ref'd (Long at Rovers this season, an Accrington player in 14/15 and a Mansfield player in 13/14).

If he shows too many colourful cards the stewards will throw him out I wonder when the stewards will remove the linesmen?

I hope the fog goes away for tomorrow. Today hasn't really cleared all day, it may have been ok for kick off, but half an hour later it is dense again.

I forgot to predict a 3-0 last time out and we all know what happened there so..... 3-0, Maguire, Hemmings and Hall to score and some sort of AmershamDave dog incident. The lucky gloves will be there and all will be well.

Right - the mystic one is back. Oxford United 2 (Skarz and Nelson) Walsall 2 Att: 8775 with 1198 Saddlers fans. I can see a hard fought, physical game with a whistle and book - happy ref ruining everyone's fun. This ref will enter the field doing the goose-step. But it's the off-field nonsense that grabs my attention. Skarz, still not having recovered totally from being clobbered by Dunkley earlier in the season, will come out onto the pitch wearing a Christmas hat. MacDonald will enter the field wearing a corset, to hide his 'too much Christmas turkey' stomach(s). Walsall's mascot will be Noddy Holder, who will be holding a microphone and shouting "It's Christmas!" every five minutes. As a joke, United will employ Roy Wood as our mascot, who will give Noddy a 'bloody good spanking' for keeping him off the top spot in 1973. They will both be carted off to Littlemore Hospital, for treatment. An owl, looking for somewhere to roost, will crash into Skarz, freaking him out, and he will end up in Littlemore Hospital, for treatment. The line markings will be done in dayglo orange, because they ran out of white paint. Appleton will have an orange complexion, after staying too long in a sun tan machine. Eastwood will have a tattoo which reads: 'Jesus saved, but I save more' on his buttocks. Edwards will appear with a mohican haircut. A dog with a cork stuck its arse will run onto the pitch. A 150 mph tornado will hit Blackbird Leys at 4:25pm. Johnson will fracture his coccyx after clashing with Hemmings. Hall will dislocate his clavicle after tripping on the ball. Two Walsall fans will bring drums into the stadium. A smoke bomb will go off in the directors' box. Two environmentalists will run onto the pitch holding a sign which reads: "Will celebrities please stop dying!" after all the amazing deaths, this bloody year. After the game, both teams will sing Auld Lang Syne. That just about does it for me.
God bless you mum.

^^^ Walsall have sold out an initial allocation, not sure what that would be but I'd imagine they'll be around 1000 of them.

Wasn't their initial allocation (ie the tickets we sent to them) only 270 or so?

You have to go back to September 1981 for Walsall's last win in Oxford. Ian Greaves' U's suffered a rare home defeat under his tenure as a goal from Alan Buckley did the damage as 3,685 watched on in the late summer sunshine. Tainted Love by Soft Cell was top of the charts.
United:
Burton Doyle, Briggs, Shotton, Fogg Jones, Jeffrey, Page, Smithers Foley, Cassells. SUB Lythgoe.

We said the players are finally getting it together, finding their feet etc, let's hope they are and a win today...and hope Kane starts firing those balls in the net.

I really hope we can finish off the year with a win, it would be a fitting way to finish a fantastic 2016.
That said, they're coming into this game with some confidence and our home form is unpredictable this season.
I'd play:
Eastwood
Edwards, Raglan, Nelson, Skarz MacDonald, Lundstram, Ledson, Hall, Maguire Hemmings
Hoping for a win but not expecting one.

Hemmings and Johnson with two apiece to send the yellows home buzzing after a 5-0 win. An own goal to finish the rout.
7243 with 724 from Sadlers. Looking a breeze on Monday but just edging at Gills with 1-0 and a rare goal from Skarz
