    Oxford United (Nuneaton) Match Thread

    How many goals did we score - two? That must be a record.

    Is Something Happening Here....?

    Anyone seriously getting excited over a procedural change in our kit sponsor needs to just relax. There should be a few legitimate things to be optimistic about soon, but sharing the same kit sponsor as Leyton Orient isn't one of them.

    Joe Elliot: Even He Likes Wasps

    Moving a sports team is always going to be a controversial issue - unfortunately financial realities mean that it's sometimes inevitable. In an ideal world, the fans would be the only consideration - in our case, we were clearly opposed to moving out of the city, and it should have been taken...

    I don't know everything, so couldn't say for sure, but I'll take it slowly for those who don't know the basics. Like most fans, I know the FA could threaten them with a points deduction. Historically, I can't find any examples of a club being deducted points for a pitch invasion, except for...

    Given your love of smug rhetorical questions (Look - there's another one up there!), I find it easier to believe than thinking you genuinely didn't know point deductions were possible for pitch invasions. I assumed you knew more about football than that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It's tedious rhetorical questions like this that suggest you see yourself as one step ahead of the protesters. Of course they imagined that. Everyone knows the FA threatens point deductions for pitch invasions (even if they rarely actually do it). Guess what - they invaded anyway.

    You're making it sound like these protesters haven't even considered the ramifications of making such a dramatic stand. Luckily we have you in your infinite wisdom to point out why it would be safer to just protest politely.

    Do you not think the protesters are aware of that?

    Nice to see the spirit of activism is alive and well on this board. Presumably the suffragettes were guilty of ruining a perfectly good horse race, and Rosa Parks was a thug bent on disrupting timely bus connections to Montgomery.

    Congrats to Callum Wilson !

    Shame all round that Wilson never got to enjoy that season in front of a hometown crowd. Looking forward to having him in my fantasy football team next season. That is, if Josh McQuoid isn't available.

    No lap of honour

    So what was the reason for them not coming back out, other than cowardice? Don't say it was because they didn't deserve one, they can hardly have expected to have basked in the crowd's adulation.

    Have We Been Closed Down Then?

    Speaking of doing a runner - you never gave me that reply to that post of mine! (But seriously, I would rather read your reply than suffer another eight pages of Nick's tiresome sub-editing masterclass)

    Jackson wants to score some goals

    Oh man, don't tell me we've found ANOTHER kind of article the Telegraph shouldn't be writing? I had genuinely forgotten Simeon Jackson existed until last weekend.

    Have We Been Closed Down Then?

    Accusing Grendel of deliberately trying to distract from other issues based on his posting history is a pretty classic example of what I describe in my previous post. That said, the irony of someone complaining about destabilising/demoralising the fanbase by starting threads which float wild...

    Have We Been Closed Down Then?

    I said this kind of editorial conspiracy - to destabilise and demoralise - would be unprecedented. At least I can't think of any examples - happy to be proven wrong. Obviously papers take stances on stuff all the time.

    Have We Been Closed Down Then?

    It's an extremely easy concept to grasp, but unfortunately I think that's been your undoing here. Seriously - I get it. When someone makes a pattern of decisions that you disagree with - whether it's a politician, your boss, your parents, a football manager, whoever - it's very easy to assume...

    Have We Been Closed Down Then?

    No, you've misunderstood my question. I'm well aware of the fact that you believe there's an editorial conspiracy at the CT. I want to know what you think the CT's motivation for that is. It would be almost unprecedented in local journalism history, so they can't just be doing it for no reason -...
