New podcast - Club Merch. A quick blast around the club shop for last minute gifts and what is the difference between Tonka and Tonkin?

New pod | Oxblogger Podcast - Merchandise - "What does myrrh and tonka actually smell like?"

It's Christmas time, so we've been down the club shop to fill our boots with Oxford United tat. Let us sort the dog bandanas from the branded doormats.

Match wrap | West Bromwich Albion 2 Oxford United 1 A few years ago, I was standing in a bookshop idly flicking through a copy of something I was never going to buy. Through the shop window, I saw a familiar face walking past. A worryingly overweigh…

'Football is one of the great releases from the working week and away days maybe its greatest articulation. You can worry about relegation and tactical decisions, but that misses the point.'

'Many Oxford fans were negative; despite equalling our away win tally, despite doing the only thing we could do, the performance was pulled apart; it wasn’t a win, it was a bad win.'

I try not to post anything that the new generation of oufc twitter might engage with, they seem quite angry and humourless.

'Chris Wilder is a counter-puncher; he famously rallied against an official for eating a sandwich. But, equally, we're a counter-punching team. How do you counter-punch a counter puncher?'

'The ball fell to Placheta outside the box, his boot detonated the ball, projecting it at a savage pace that defied physics. The net convulsed as it entered the top right hand corner.'

'There was a lightness in our play which made them look ordinary. It was a marked difference to the fawning defensive struggles of earlier in the season. It felt like we belonged.'

After all the excitement of Thursday it's time to return to boring old football. My Hull City preview includes the Turkish Ant and Dec, a trillion dollar bid for Owen Dale and the moment Ian Atkins' dreams collapsed.

"The season opener is the most inconsequential consequential fixture of the season. It means both everything and nothing. It signals something and indicates nothing. It's both memorable and pointless."

They really need to change the birthday picture now. It always seems to be that one and it's a strange choice.

Yes, that would have been a better joke.

Is that short for Rich? Happy birthday! Xx

A Norwegian football game where the fans of football club Bodø/Glimt raised a tifo that depicts an adult sized silhouette in white and a child sized silhouette in rainbow colours above the slogan “be careful who you hate. It could be someone you love”

Fantastic tifo from Bodø/Glimt fans

Especially internationals right after the season has finished, I reckon they all just want to go home and watch daytime TV for a few weeks with their feet up.

I reckon at least 80% of international football is duller than ditchwater and we all just need to accept this and move on with our lives.
