I don’t get it. Why is that funny? Budget? Drinan approx 3k a week Thompson about the same Turns about the same again All left in January. There's your budget. Could not see Swindon and Barnet paying that level of wages for those two players so can only think that Os paid off a hefty amount of this...

Hector was non stop put down by many on this forum ( especially so by ''Tuffers'' ) when he was at the Os.
It was a good move for him to to get away and sign for Peterborough.

Some sick bunnies on here isn't there.
Nothing better to do with their time than make stupid and disreputable comments about the Princess of Wales, and King Charles who has cancer.

If we can sign Idris the midfield will be sorted, two Centre backs and a full back for the defence. Then all we need to find is a proper goal scorer and a keeper Two strikers I reckon as Pigott looks a busted flush we'll need to try and move on somehow Nice to read some sensible comments but haven’...

Not sure what the aim of this thread is. We can all opine who we think is better, but to what end? Doesn’t this apply to the entire concept of a message board, not just this thread? It does, but fully agree with this comment ‘The original post in this thread shows a lack of class IMHO - Theo has 9 ...

As we lose Theo, we bring in O'Neil, which was fantastic timing, but who is better? I believe O'Neil, is much better than Archibald. I realise that might be controversial. Last season, Archibald was a major factor in our success, but I dont think hes top quality league 1, whereas O'Neil is, even af...

When asked, George says in this video that he puts his recent good form down to his strong religious beliefs and Jesus Christ.

First time I saw Stan Bowles was back in the70’s, QPR had brought him in as a replacement for Rodney Marsh who they had sold to Man City. Not only did he play like Marsh but even looked like him from afar. Brilliant player. Pity the two of them were not playing together as team mates in the same te...

Personally, I don`t like the argument that cannabis is more accessible/common today so we might just as well legalize it. But, if scientists and new research find that the health risks are small, then I will be more open to liberalisation. Why do you ( or any others) feel the need to take drugs ? A...

Good ratings. It was Pratleys man that ran in behind James after Cooper, Beckles and James all got pulled in. Galbraith didn’t cover himself in glory either but then again, he’s not really a defender (although is filling in as a footballing full back superbly). Great to see Moncur looking fit at la...

Was listening to BBC Oxfordshire on the way home. About 4 Oxford fans in a row called in to moan about how awful the team is, how sh*t the manager is and how the season is ruined. You’d think they were in a relegation battle, not in the place off places. Proper weird & pessimistic. Sounds like ...

It’s no different to alcohol. Enjoyed in moderation like everything else. I say legalise it, great source of revenue for the government, will help I’m sure with money being lost from Cigarette taxes. Trouble is ( judging by the amount of drug addicts in UK and the rest of the world ) So many get ho...

I know of a few people who take Cannabis and it has not been a positive thing for them and can be a starting point to going onto harder drugs.

' Long may this revitalised Moncur continue''
Wonder why it has taken this long for George to start playing so well again ?

I read on the other forum that Pratley played a whole season for Charlton at centre back.

I agree with LSN, Turns is a good footballer. He’s two footed, yes his physicality lets him down as a CB but he won his fair share of headers and for me he’s better than Cooper. I think Wellens could have played him as a deep lying midfielder instead of Pratley. As usual you made some good points. ...

Wonder what the reaction would be if Donald Trump invested or brought out a EFL club, just wonder how the fans would react if Trump spent on millions on their own football team ?

He's a good player but can be too lackesdaies

Sometimes he seems to suffer from concentration lapses.

I saw the brave souls on tv news who dared to lay flowers in his memory in Russia and some brave young women who were interviewed who dared to voice their opinions about the death of Alexei Navalny and life in Putins Russia. Wonder if they will be taken to court for saying what they think, how dread...

Freedom of speech is rapidly vanishing in so many countries the world over.

Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny is dead, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence, has said. Mr Navalny, an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been in Russian jail since 2021 on charges that are widely viewed as ...

Just seems really random to level this at Theo, none of our other many long term injured players. Well obviously it’s a factor for all players with long term injuries. Theo just seems like an intense bloke who wears his heart on his sleeve. Maybe the comments misplaced as I don’t know him Love Theo...
