Best team in Europe - Barca watch out! What a pity that United did not take one step further towards the final of a non event in which (except for the final) is played before paltry attendances. Nonetheless - I was hoping that we would win - boo hoo.

I was reading this for a bit of fun... then came to the comments of mikek. Although his English is relatively good, he seems to focuses on the unimportant in life, and is desperate to find meaning and purpose in life.

Some people need help, and a way to occupy their time constructively.

Not really Ians view had to put up with similar jibes from your fans last season and some really hostile comments when you beat the mighty STFC so I always remember to give some back now and again especially when our yellow colleagues up the road have a few downers. Sorry its called payback

what a sad little loser mikek is :) amazing how the scum are all so completely obsessed with us.

Where are you my fellow Oxford supporters?

These Swinedown fans are running wild on here and we should be standing up to them.

It is bad enough living in my 3 sided caravan in Kingston Bagpuise, with all the scrap cars and copper cable, but this is just too much!!

Where is Curran, yes Hugh Curran?
And where is Marina Morris when we need you?

We must drive back these Witney invaders from down the 420 and teach them a lesson, once and for all!!!!

STFC are doing much better than us - fact . Onwards to promotion this season yellows - win at Bradford tomorrow - they will have that post- Barca Celtic feeling for that game. Three points for attacking minded (I hope) United. Come on CW - attack

Ignoring the mentally unstable juvenile trolls...
Good performance last night, apart from that is, some shocking defending!
The lad Marsh had a great full home debut, and showed his elders the way forward!! :O)
On to Bradford, might it be a case of After the lord majors show' for them??

looks like the wheels are coming off again and as much as I still think wilder is failing I think constable has to take some blame for last nights loss. If Constable wasn't so thick he might have been an influence in the game instead of collecting suspensions like a hobby.

So next up is another 5-0 humping at Bradford and Wilder's run of cliché ridden excuses will explode into new realms of the bleedin obvious. Forget the cups it's promotion now anything else is incidental. League One next season or new manger. It's all we have left.

Oh and Scummers - enjoy your day in the sun it won't last and lest we all forget you have a right wing fascist as a manager and that stain won't lift even after he's gone.

Spot on Ian. He will go away and get back to working out what crop rotation is once we have got rid of Constable and replaced him with a proper striker.

Shouldn't really comment on trolls, but it's extremely dull and sad Swindon fans coming on this site with their attempt at wind-ups. They must live in a bed-sit swigging white lightning.
This is the same competition i saw Swindon lose very badly to Chesterfield in the final last year. They were appalling. Such a waste of all their fans hitching a ride to the capital.
You won't be riding the crest of a wave when all that over-spending and financial reality costs you 10 points for going into administration.

You keep on clutching at those straws I would be more worried about your own finances if what I am hearing on the grapevine is true.

Grapevine! Name your source!

sorry to be out of the trophy but we did quite well considering wre were not at full strength .see the saddoes on here trying to get a bit of reflected glory in the fact that the ex stfc players were involved , in achieving what the so called wonder boys from wilts could not do.obviously as we got farther in the competition we would meet better sides.than those in the earlier rounds.

Oldun for someone who vows not to reply to your League 1 friends down the A420, there does seem an awful lot of those non-replies from you happening - sounds like your feeling the strain too, along with a few others of your fellow supporters on here.

Bezza - for your benefit it was still a good day out and a worth the trip, so up yours ol 'green eyes' ... ha ha

"Vows" - err.. if you say so . However, I have often replied to fans of either your team or of mine . Strain ? Like most folk I know well, football does not come in the five most important considerations in life. As a very keen United fan, I cheered enthusiastically Swindon all the way to Wembley (great eliminations of Derby, Burnley, Cov etc) in 1968-69. No prob chatting to intelligent people - as long as "them do not like use like long words, like"

Mikek have you been waiting since August to put your little jibe on this site? I hope you are satisfied now little man. Yes, Oxford are out of the JPT... who really cares?
I personally relish the hurt you obviously feel after losing 3 times in a year to us. I'm sure all Swindon fans felt a lot worse about how they were knocked out of the JPT this season, than Oxford fans did last night.

Thoroughly entertaining match - glad I went even though the result was disappointing. Despite conceding in the 6th minute we then came back at Southend with a vengeance. It was like watching an attack vs defence training session. Alfie Potter hasn't been mentioned other than the penalty miss but he was awesome in the 1st half, terrorising their experienced left-back. We went in at half-time looking like we couldn't possibly lose and unlucky to only be one up. A great come-back against a decent side.

Second half and straight away you could see Southend had started the strongest. This is a recurring problem I have noticed at home when leading at half-time, where we come out seemingly not knowing how to handle a narrow lead.

We didn't really get going again until about 15 mins from the end - typical! Great pressure though from Harry Worley and a deserved equaliser from the excellent and tireless Rigg.

Very disappointing to lose the penalty shoot out. Clarke got to 3 of their kicks but they squirmed through him. On a dry night I guess he would have got at least 2 of those.

I actually felt sorry for their keeper Smith, being subbed just before the penalties but shrewd move from Sturrock in the end.

Just to respond to adlibber above with his comments about Wilder - I'm guessing you weren't at the game? Shame since you would have seen an overall impressive performance and Tyrone Marsh benefited from Constable's absence.

To the scummers on here - great banter lads but I know you lot cross your fingers every time there's a cup draw and pray you don't get us. I also know the relief you felt when getting promoted to League One because it meant you didn't have to play us twice in the league, and for the same reason I know you will be bricking it in case you don't get promoted and we do. So keep it coming lads, we remember it all.
