Bless those plucky non leaguers
Someone's gone and produced a mug to commemorate their historic cup win against Swansea reserves. "One of the greatest FA Cup upsets in history," they say. I guess when you've been so rubbish for so many years you take your moments of glory where you can. http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/14205959.Souvenir_mug_goes_on_sale_for_charity_to_celebrate_historic_FA_Cup_victory/

Oxford 'Mugs' says it all
I didn't realise the Swansea team was weakened that much will have to mention that to some of my smug faced colleagues they are getting very annoying at the moment. You would think they may have a chance of the champions league the way they talk things up.
But give them credit, no matter how much we dislike them, they had a very good result at Millwall and now look favourites for a Wembley visit.
Hopefully roofe and Sercombe leave in this window and then there season will only go one way..........
Speaking to a reasonable and well balanced PNL fan this week, he commented that it really is shit or bust for them this season, as their wage bill is not sustainable. And if promotion is not achieved, there would be big budget cuts.
They owe the former owner 12 millions, and Daryl Eales consortium have pumped in somewhere between 3 and 5 million already. All this while they have to pay Kassam 700k a year rent.
It's all quite puzzling what is happening over there in Cowley.
They also still haven't paid back all those people who lost their pension in order to pay for the club's previous follies.
No need to go overboard Drc
They should receive the Marseille treatment and have there Trophy list expunged during the time that they were being backed with the help of stolen money.
