Will be an emotional game tonight, 4 years since we lost the legend - Clive Watts. Here we are at what was our last “OFA” (Oxford Family Awayday) at QPR. He used to love the midweek winter nights under the lights, always with us in our thoughts every single day 💛💙

Liverpool are back and that means we've got Neil Atkinson opening up ROUTE ONE today. But I also have PSG questions, so we've got Tom Williams too. And what is going on with Stoke? They look unbeatable Simon Watts. Listen here: pod.fo/e/34bc6e

Awesome to see Gillingham FC boss Gareth Ainsworth in great form after his recent heart op, one of football’s nice guys. In his words “The Wild Thing may have to become the Mild Thing” when he’s back on the touchline. Good luck with that! Feature interview on Sky Sports News on Sat

My old man on the touchline in 2009 🤣

The George Baldock Foundation have held their inaugural charity ball to raise funds to help disadvantaged children to play football. The charity has been set up a year after the former Sheffield United and Greece defender died, aged 31.

Will Vaulks reflects on his suicide prevention work with Oxford United and where it all began ❤️ #MeritAwards | #FIFPROGA25

Never be silent, you’ll never regret asking a mate if they’re “really alright”

This weeks episode of Beefy and Beaumont features Brett Lee. I expected talk of the Ashes, not so much playing guitar with Mick Jagger & Robbie Williams !

I really like the positivity of Gavin Ramjaun who has just pointed out that we're only 9 points off the play-offs!

I really hope he’s on Oxford United’s January shopping list….

World Cup special with Enzo Fernandez | Mauricio Pochettino | Fabrizio Romano | Henry Winter & more! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Bizarre goings on in Wednesday night's commentary. Next up is World feed of WBA v Sheffield United. Of the 11 Championship clubs to appoint a new manager in the summer, 6 already have a new boss (Sheff Utd among them). Ryan Mason is fighting to avoid becoming the 7th.

Puskas award 2025 goes to…..

Have seen lots of opinions on Gary Rowett’s sacking from people who don’t follow the club closely. I get it, I’m paid to comment on other teams, but it’s tough to get a true feel for a situation. I’d recommend giving this blog a read if you want to understand why it happened:

After 38 years, Trans World Sport signs off for the final time at the end of 2025. Thank you for every story, every athlete, every viewer. It’s been an honour to share the world of sport with you. 🌍❤️ #TransWorldSport #EndOfAnEra

Oxford’s record v the 7 sides above us now stands at: P8 W0 D1 L7. 1 solitary point. Throw in a fortunate draw at Norwich, that underlines where we need big improvements in 2026. Wins v Bristol City, Ipswich, Southampton feel like ‘Cup’ wins but they don’t impact teams around us

Great goal to commentate on at the start of the year. Hopefully more like this to come (depending on which end) for tomorrow’s Sky game - Sheff Utd v Oxford Utd
