Don't throw a spanner in the works or Mucker will be hammering it for ages. Remember, Cruz Allen is the key

Don't upset him or he'll be saw about it , no need for all those cutting remarks 

No. Winning this league (or I’d just take top two) is the equivalent of completing this jigsaw not just completing the perimeter.
When we’ve done it, we get a new, and more difficult, jigsaw out (I.e. competing in the Championship) for which we might need some new pieces in the summer.

Home win
5-2
Collins FRGS & Hat Trick
Happy New Year

I don't mean to fret, but did you just makita a pun thread?
Not sure we are up to coping with that.

I saw what you did there. 😉

 
 

What is it with NYE and broken hearts?
I feel utterly betrayed.
I hate myself for say this, but I'd seriously consider scratching Ms Thompson's eyes out right now.

Maybe it was just never meant to be. 💔😢

A quick Google search suggests the following order for deciding league position according to the EFL rule book section 9:

1 Points
2 Goal difference
3. Goals scored
4. Record against each other (for the tied clubs)
5. Number of wins
6. Goals scored away from home 
7. Lowest penalty points (for yellow and red cards)
8. Sendings off
9. Play off game (or games, to be determined by the league) against each other (but only if a final league position needs to be determined to settle promotion, relegation or play off position (including home and away advantage in the play offs).

Yes.
1/  Points = Same
2/ Goal Difference = Same
3/ Goals Scored = 47 v 42
 
Gets tricky after that... think it may be results between the two clubs comes next? 
Not even sure whether who has won the most games comes into it?  Maybe someone else knows?  🤷‍♂️
 

B4 would insist you add at least another zero on there 😂

You've got to hold and give, But do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, But you must get to the line.
They'll always hit you and hurt you, Defend and attack. There's only one way to beat them - Get round the back

As a son:
My dad was "firm but fair" (in hindsight), with me and my 4 sisters.  (He was ex-army... the guy with the stick, doing all the shouty stuff on the parade ground.)
I pretty much disliked the guy until I started to mature at around 14.  I just about fell to love him dearly, and we started to get proper pally... when he died (I was 18... and probably only ever bought him one pint! 😢).
Fathers... think on!
 
 
As a father:
Keep it loving, obviously... but keep it practical.
Far too many kids nowadays haven't got a clue how to do their own breathing when they flee the nest!
As just one example, our two (boys) were ironing their own school uniforms throughout big school (from age 11?). And they were strict on appearance at Landau Forte back then!
The youngest even went on to "make a small killing" when he joined the army, as non of the other lads at the training camp knew where to start!  He thanked us in the end!  😁👍
 
Never expect two or more siblings to be the same... or even similar.  Think chalk and cheese, but with a mile wide river in between, and you'll get the picture.
 
Best o' luck!  👍
 

Thanks.
... And yes, it was deliberate, as it's my personal favourite too.  🐏👍

Yes, lots of times.

Well that performance last night was an absolute tonic to me after a dreadful Christmas (my dad is terminally ill and has been in hospital throughout Xmas). I wasn't going to go , even though the Kassam Stadium is less than 2 miles away from where I live but my family persuaded me to so I went and apart from that first 15 minutes I had the best away day I've had for years. That second half performance was brilliant; relentless attacking pressure that blew Oxford away. The Rams fans last night were also amazing; you wouldn't have known we were the team 2-0 down. I couldn't speak at the final whistle from all the singing!
Its nights like that that make following this club so special. After what has been a rough few weeks personally I really needed that experience last night.

Pinched from the Oxford forum.
Just analysing their goals - and of course credit must be given to the quality of the deliveries into the box - but Hourihane’s superb corner looks to be flicked across goal by Fin Stevens for the first, Ciaron Brown yet again leaves his man free in the box from Cashin‘s brilliant ball to the back stick where Thompson heads past Beadle and Cashin easily steers in the third getting in front of Fin Stevens. Another top class delivery from Hourihane.

Apart from those great balls in there were countless overloads down by both flanks all night and we simply could not stop them. The corner count in their favour was off the scale. We were in effect lambs to the slaughter after that great start but the pressure was mounting from then on to the finale. It was like the Alamo for 85 minutes.

Derby arguably the best side seen at League One level in OX4 in the seven years we’ve been at the level. And I include Wigan 2017-18 in that.

We were battered.
 
………………… seems fair comment! 😁👍🐏

Having just watched the highlights...a few things to add.
1. The Penalty...having watched football since 1966, Played, Managed and refereed the game...I can put my hand on heart and say...it's one of the most obvious penalty's I've witnessed.
2. Cashin...wow what a cross for a centre back
3. Cashin...wow smashed his way for the goal
4. Cashin...wow his value must be £50million aint that right B4 😉
 
 

Oh what a night,
Late December 2023,
Oxford scored 2 but then we scored 3,
What a comeback, what a night!
 
PS - sorry to anyone I may have offended last night, I was a leetle bit drunk!

Fabulous.
I think my favourite bit of the post is the highlighted B4ism.

I think it's clear (from this thread) that I need to stop with this whole Cashin-Crush I have, and start checking out the others! 😲
In fairness, NML's input hasn't totally passed me by, but Nelson and his performances have clearly done so... to my utter shame!
And yeah... I'm fully aware that says more about me, my lack of football nous, and my inexcusable inability to concentrate, than it does about any player herein mentioned.
I'll try to take more note of Nelson, starting this evening on Rams TV, then again live from the Cauldron of Pride on Monday.
But for now, I'll refrain from adding my vote, as it's quite an unhealthy man-crush I have on young Eiran... and he doesn't deserve that!  
 
 
#whataguy, though, eh? 

Can't help my little downer, given the obvious absentee from those scenes, as this was what he lived for.
... But hey... we know he's up there.  We know he's still watching.  We know he's still bouncing.
He'll not be resting in any sort of peace just yet a while... He'll be friggin' buzzin'.  His spirt lives on.
