Oxford United Football Club
I support Oxford United Football Club, a disease which unfortunately has no cure.
A lot of people (young British male’s usually) complain about their chosen football teams trials and tribulations, but no fan can claim the same level of suffering as OUFC (well except maybe Wimbledon). Oxford United hold the unfortunate mantel of being the first and only club to have to have won a major domestic trophy and fallen into non-league (the fifth tier of English football). Since they won the 1986 League Cup the club has won one singular promotion and even then their bitter evil and twisted rivals Swindon Town won the league title.
Over the last seven years the club has failed to finish above the previous seasons league position.
Seeing as OUFC is one of my life’s simple little passions I will occasionally comment on their trials and tribulations.
Last night OUFC managed a 1-0 home loss against Weymouth, a team with 12 fit players who have not won a match since October. Happy days.
Be happy and cherish your choice!
You stand out from the crowd.
I ve been once to a Wimbledon game and the fans were amazing. They showed true passion and belief in their so perceived small team.
It s so easy nowadays to be a Chelsea, Arsenal or Man U fan.
I like QPR, it s a 20 years story, and look what can happen. Not that the buy out is just honey and gold. There are traps in everything but… Keep faith.
I share your pain
