Don't give up just yet mate - it looks bad but it's football - you never know what's around the corner.

Oxford may well have their 'Jimmy Glass moment' yet :)

Definitely. One win could well be enough to keep you up. :)

<Buys Denis Smith (ex Oxford, now Wrexham manager) a pint to 'persuade' him to 'find out' that his main striker and main goalkeeper have both been 'injured in training' next Saturday morning .... throws Denis a £20= bung :p :D >

SMITH OUT!! <deliberately ambiguous ;) >
 
Much as I'm fond of Torquay in their cuddly, non-threatening way, since they appointed Atkins I've fervently wanted them to go down.

Why does he keep getting work :confused: - He's like the lower league Souness. Anyone with a brain can see he's shit, but people keep appointing him. Don't understand it at all.

He charms journos into writing favourable pieces on him and is very good at talking up his achievements. Effectively he writes the lazy fuckers articles for them by feeding them heavily spun shite about what a great manager he is.

If we go up this year you'll never hear the end from him about how it was his team that got promoted and the board were mad to sack him.

He's a twat. But a twat with a talent for finding work and ensuring he gets a decent contract for when he gets sacked. More than once he's been having wages paid by three seperate clubs I think.
 
It's necessary for Oxford that Torquay (and Rushden) get relegated whatever I think of the clubs.

But yes, the loathesome prospect of the endless boasts we'll get from Atkins if he manages to keep Torquay up -- which is possible -- does add another reason to hope they don't manage it.
 
Torquay beat Stockport 4-0 tonight putting them level on points with Oxford and only a goal behind on goal difference :eek:

Still any 2 out of about 8 or more teams that could go down though. I'm thinking Rushden and Stockport on the evidence of tonight maybe? Not looking too rosy for Oxford either though.

That result is a shocker :( :( and could well send Oxford down.

EVERYTHING now hinges on us not getting results any worse than Rushden or Torquay, next Saturday (Wrexham away) and especially on May 5 (last day) when we meet Leyton Orient at home -- Orient could well need all three points to hang onto automatic promotion ....

Possibility of us either surviving, or going down, on goal difference! :eek:

I'll be up there on the 5th, radio in hand and arse clenched in fear ...

Me, May 6th onwards : "I fucking hate football, when's the next Festival???"

<repeat until World Cup, and then until start of next season's Woking, Grays, Dagenham etc. matches ... :p >

Most of you don't know what it's like, beig put out of the League. Well, neither do I yet, but my mind is being heavily concentrated at the moment ... relegation from the entire League is such a step beyond all other relegations ... past relegations for us have usually been settled before the last day.
 
The worst thing about all this is that I can't even enjoy you lot going down cos we're going to be relegated by Bristol fucking Shitty on Saturday.

Awful.
