Not started one of these before so hopefully it can be a charm and break our rot...
Got a good feeling about this one, despite all that's going on. Think Williamson could do with a rest, legs appear to have (understandably) gone a little so a wee break should hopefully see him restored to his form when he joined. Same for Richardinho.
Eastwood Riberio Nelson Mousinho Carroll Ledson Ruffels Hall Payne Henry Mehmeti
0-1 gritty win, with Hall scoring late on.

I heard Mousinho on the radio at a loss to understand why we have played so poorly of late. So I am hoping that they are moving towards a solution. This is a toughie, so a draw would be improvement of sorts. However, despite what you read, we do have some very talented players here and I expect them to sort it out. 1-0 to us.

I want to see the players being more nasty in this game proper Hylton and Maguire like is what we need. Get Hall to skin players to try win a penalty, get one of their players sent off proper horrible stuff is needed we need a win.

We're on a losing streak, so that means we'll win right? Not won away since opening day, etc, etc, etc.

Peterborough 4 Oxford 1
Pep will say that he was happy with the fockoos of the players for the first 8 minutes before we let in two goals in quick succession. He will declare us brilliant and cream himself over how much we're forcing the opposition to worry about us and change their setup to deal with us. He will also state that he has given each player a full body massage as a reward for their efforts, and that the team coach will be going to McDonalds on the way home so that they can all have chicken nuggets. GvK will break protocol and go for a Quarter Pounder which he will be too lazy to collect for himself, while Wes Thomas will declare himself vegetarian for no apparent reason so that he doesn't have to join in. The team coach will then break down with John Mousinho stating how confused he is by its sudden spluttering and Mike Williamson agreeing that it seems unusually lethargic. Jack Payne will try to fix it before being subbed out of mechanic duties for Agon Mehmeti.
Or we'll sneak a 1-0 win. One or the other - they're both as likely as each other.

Peterborough surprise a few by playing a team of 'Posh' (Vic Beckham) lookalikes, and we lose 7-1.
Even more of a fantasy, Peterborough 0 Yellows 1.

1-2 oxford
Nah only joking
3-0.
Williamson will be so slow running forwards he will work out its quicker to face the other way and run backwards. GVK will chase the keeper down in the first minute and spend the rest of the half walking to get back on side which will result in at least three or four offsides. Pep will read him the offside law (law 11) at half time and he will wonder wonder how he had gone his whole career not understanding you need two players between him and the goal. Hall will do some good runs then bounce off the first person over 11 stone that challenges him cue a min of sitting on the floor and readjusting shin pads. Wes Thomas decides after 10 mins Peterborough is too cold an the next time a player comes withing 10 feet will claim an horrific leg break and need to be subbed (this leg break will heal itself by the time he gets in the dressing room). Rothwell will continue his amazing runs of late unfortunately none will be towards the oppositions goal. Ricardinio will show he has the similar defensive qualities as Marvin Johnson. Henry may or may not have his one decent game in 4. Beastwood will be MOM and stop it being a cricket score. People will be amazed when the match report shows Jack Payne actually played having been marked out of the game.
Stats will show roughly even possession but oxford will have one shot at goal on target from 35 yards which the keeper doesn't have to move to save. We will have many passes but 90% will be across the back with 8% being lumped up there from Eastwood and 2% actually passed forwards (by mistake). Every corner will be short (because that catches the opposition out every time) however they result in no threatening balls into the box.
Pep will say we lost fokus after an unlucky goal but the lads will come good and the fans know what we are trying to achieve. Radio oxford will ask no difficult questions and bemoan our "hard luck", callers will come on and say we have been sussed. And Darryl will appear on a missing persons appeal having not been seen for weeks.

i would hope we set up to play against their strengths rather than they flood the midfield to play against ours.
I hope we sneak a win but see us getting crushed.

Two nil to Oxford.
Peterborough just wont know what to do with our beautiful sideways passing, the 300k proper striker they bought in Marriott will be shackled by big Mike.
We will go with our zero striker approach and basically pass the ball into the net at will.
There may even be tears from Darragh McAnthony as he wishes hed have ramped up his budget in the summer the way we did to get in the level of quality.
I cant wait!

I've got a very strange feeling that we're going to win, which is very odd indeed considering we've been crap in the last 3 games.
0-2. Williamson, Hall.
We will play 3 at the back with 2 wingbacks, the system works a treat and Pep is declared a tactical genius.

I've got a very strange feeling that we're going to win, which is very odd indeed considering we've been crap in the last 3 games. 0-2. Williamson, Hall. We will play 3 at the back with 2 wingbacks, the system works a treat and Pep is declared a tactical genius. It's not strange at all. It's based off all our experiences of football which tell us that teams that had looked invincible will at some point throw in a shocker, and that teams who have looked crap will suddenly "show up" and pull off an unexpected win from nowhere. I remember under CJW we'd gone on an horrific losing streak of 5 defeats in a row (something he specialised in) and were heading up to Chesterfield, who were the league leaders. From nowhere, Chippy totally changed the tactics, surprised a complacent Chesterfield and we won 2-1, from memory. However much some thought that our players were world beaters after, erm, drawing against Bradford at home, they weren't. They were League 1 players on league 1 salaries for a reason, especially given how many of them are, ahem, well into their careers. And however much some of us might have been traumatised after the first half against Blackpool into think our players were a bunch of Ryman South punters who'd had a p*ss-up the night before, they weren't. They were the same League 1 players. So, our group of League 1 players will at some point beat another bunch of League 1 players. Question is: when and why? Well, it's all a bit random, but generally I reckon it will happen when our form has got bad enough that OUFC players decide to man up, get some edge into their game etc, and they then come up against a side who - for whatever reason - are a bit complacent, as we were against Blackpool. We will win, confidence will return and the League players will remember that they are not deeply inferior to other League 1 players. I'd love to say that I think that this will happen against Posh, and of course it could do. But just going through press statements, I'd say that Posh's players are smarting more from their defeat to Oldham than our players are from their defeat to Bury. The Peterborough camp reckon that they played really poorly, need to try harder and do better. Whereas our staff and players seem to think that we were on fire, and just got unlucky. So, on balance - and against my instinct that we are 'due a win' - I don't think that this will be the game. I reckon it'll come against AFCW instead.

Recently, we've imploded as a decent team. There is good news ,however. I see a massive improvement rapidly approaching. Past mistakes will be easily rectified, with the minimum of fuss and effort. The misjudgements. Bad planning. Incorrect thinking. Poor layout. These calamities will soon be forgiven. In PUP we trust! Pup, I hear you say? I'm talking about my match predictions improving, not our poor, beleaguered team - I think we're f*cked, for the time being. I can definitely see a dog (pup) running onto the pitch at Peterborough. My insight for tomorrow? Oh dear, it could be as bad as Peterbro' 5 Oxford United 0 Att: 5878 with 454 United fans braving the onslaught. For those with rose-tinted glasses; Peterborough 1 Oxford United 2 (Hall and an own goal) I personally think there's more chance of Scooby f*cking Doo running onto the pitch and doing a great big shit on the centre circle. But you never know.............Their directors' box will be invaded by a colony of Ryanair pilots, making a mis-judged protest. Their scoreboard will collapse and be replaced with a man waving two flags. A Ryanair plane, with a an inexperienced pilot, will try to land on the pitch. Eastwood will sprain his coccyx, making a wonder save. Ledson will force a world-class save from their keeper. Our chairman will just save our money in the next transfer market. That new forward will injure his clavicle. The referee will be arrested for tax evasion. May will call a snap election. Not Theresa, but Brian, the aged rocker from Queen. That just about does it for me.

Surely we are not staying overnight for a game at Peterborough ? Anything over two hours used to be the rule, and Peterborough is just over two hours. But in all honesty in this day and age I'd imagine that overnight stays before any away game are likely the norm.

You have got to be kidding me. Cool, if that's where we're at now. No different to when people used to take the p*ss out of Appleton and his "philosopheh", or when countless others used to take the p*ss out of Wilder and his "I'm not appeh" quips. All racist, yeah? All racist towards Mancs and Yorkshire chaps? Get some perspective. This is nearly as ridiculous as when people said Charlie had called someone a paedophile when he clearly hadn't.
