Irrespective of club as the comparison the point remains the same. Fans turning on each other is the point - Oxford is very much just one of many teams who have had negativity spread causing problems. The view on them is irrelevant surly? SurEly it is not, there is a huge difference in the realistic ambitions of the two respective fan bases. Oxford over achieved once, we've under achieved for the last 20 years, hence our disappointment being more justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge club compared to say Chesham Town? It's a perspective thing really isn't it? as I keep saying however Oxford are not important to my post just the expamle of negativity - I'm guessing some just want to be negative for the sake of it even over a post explaining this?

sheffsteel Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) The thing about Oxford United is when they were in the top flight EVEN with the most positive/ supportive fans in the world their stay at the top table was always likely to be short lived. League 1 is historically their level. Where as history shows that's it inevitable Wednesday will be back in the top flight sooner or later, regardless of fan negativity.

I couldn't give a poo who thinks they are huge.massive,enormous or just big, it matters not and means nothing IMO, just some deluded fans wee wee tail measuring... I simply sarcastically replied with "just did" for the banter nothing to do with the actual size of Oxford as a club, so apology accepted spencer I apolagise unreservedly good sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One league cup.. They beat QPR 3-0 in about 1986. Would like to say we are a huge club but unfortunately we've never fulfilled our potential while I've been watching them (1958 onwards).
