Three wins in a row. Absolutely superb boys #oufc

There’s a good article on the Guardian website where they’ve spoken to insiders. Their view is that an opportunity arose to take out the leadership which was too good to miss.

Fantastic performance. Oxford lack quality, but they don’t lack fight #oufc

I still don’t see why the result is such a disaster. Governments tend to lose by-elections mid term. It’s disappointing, but surely that’s all it is.

RIP Rob Grant. Such a big fan of his work #reddwarf

This Green use of Starmer-Modi resembles a leaflet that Labour put out in Batley in 2021 about Boris Johnson + Modi. The party was heavily criticised for that. I think the lesson is not to pitch to voters from one background with messages you can't show + defend to voters of every background.

So if Restore and Advance combine, how would that effect Reform. The extreme Right wing would support them, especially if Musk gives them backing

What worries me is the reaction from the right wing media. I’ve seen reaction from Oakenshot, Littlejohn and others saying Ratcliffe was right.

There does seem to be an attempt to support him

We probably won’t. We often up our game for games like this. Then again, we could win Tuesday and then get battered at the weekend

We’re just incapable of two good performances in a row

Did Trump just want to sound tough and claim β€œArt of the deal” to make it sound like he’s still the master negotiator? Did he just want a distraction from Epstein? Was he forced to back down? What’s the Quiet Riot view? 2/2

What’s your view on the Greenland situation? Weeks of increasing belligerent comments. An insistence the US must own GL, with tariffs and threats of invasion not ruled out. However after Davos, some nebulous deal is in the ether which doesn’t seem different to what was offered before. 1/2

Well Oxford rarely like to make it easy for us!

Brilliant results boys. Was amazed Oxford started with Sparky. Called that one wrong!

Aren’t the Supreme Court due to make a decision on tariff’s soon? Trump’s threat may just be bluster

I wonder if the EU feel that Trump may not be a prob for much longer? Ignoring his declining mental & physical health, but by the end of the year, the Democrats should have control of congress and maybe the senate. That makes Trump a very lame duck. Maybe they’re just trying to run the clock down?

Well at least Oxford Utd won’t lose today!

Never seen the Traitors, but having to watch the new series. Watching the first series to see what it’s all about. Oh my god it’s shit!

No, he has not β€œgot a job”. He has been instructed as a barrister, just as Keir Starmer KC was, and so under the cab rank rule is required to accept the instructions.

The BSB Code of Conduct is publicly accessible and it’s really not very hard to look it up first.

2025 was horribly challenging--but We are now kicking Trump’s ass! We are ready for 2026 midterm!

Rowett was always the pragmatist, so when results dipped, then there wasn’t much less I suppose. Do feel sorry for him though.

We have better players, but we’re still minnows in this division. It is wasn’t clicking, but now we’re hoping a fresh face can work miracles. Then we’ll probably sack him this time next year !

23.12.2025 11:58 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

No, I don’t think so. He’s a proven track record in this league and we still are a minnow at this level.

How long before we sack the next manager #oufc

Gary Rowett has gone. Am surprised by that. #oufc

So many things are shit right now and Oxford always manage to make things that little bit worse every weekend. #oufc
