Oxford United (h) - 09/12/25

[Wheelton Blue]

The state of the pitch is just one of many symptoms of their lack of care.

The whole stadium is a neglected, run down, shoddy mess, and sooner or later some other urgent remedial action will be needed elsewhere.

They have absolutely no pride, nor do they care a jot.

They’ve not even felt the need to describe Saturday’s game as abandoned.

About what Tavares will cost in full.  Dare I say the pitch so far would've got us 6 points more than Sidnei

No %s for agency fees when spending big on a new pitch though....

Surely they could find a firm that’s willing to give a kickback.

He has finally broke ranks with the morons in the boardroom, gone up in my estimation.

Like him or not Ismael has worked at a lot of proper professional football clubs in his time in football. Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Hanover, Lens, Nuremburg, Wolfsburg, Besiktas, West Brom, Watford. Coming here he was probably under the false impression that he was joining a club of similar standing in the game. After 6 months at it he'll be learning the hard way about now as to what he is up against.

We have a lot of heads of says VI. No communication to the coach what the plan is. I'll give him a few more months and he will be off like JDT and JE. Sounds a very unhappy bunny.
