Mansfield and #oufc will always be linked by the one and only Les Robinson, who played 458 games for United before joining The Stags, his home-town club. Les was a guest on the pod last year: Spotify: shorturl.at/PbFK7 Apple: shorturl.at/OFpNX Acast: shorturl.at/9bM9T Amazon: shorturl.at/6yqAB

I usually forget pretty much anything that happens at the match, just the way my brain works. But I remember exactly how I felt when Tyler scored that one.

Tyler Goodrham scored in both of the past two home games against Cambridge, including this last-minute winner in August 2022 - his first senior goal for #oufc🔥 What a way to announce yourself and what a celebration - even Karl Robinson got involved! 📹 YouTube/Cambridge United

This 4-1 win over Burton in March 2022 proved a significant day in that season. Four first-half goals, great strikes from Gavin Whyte & Matty Taylor, Sam Baldock on fire - but Baldock suffered a season-ending injury and #oufc ultimately fell short of promotion. 📹 YouTube/BrewersOfficial

Tomorrow night, #oufc will attempt to win at Huddersfield’s Kirklees Stadium for the first time. The first of their five previous visits was almost exactly 32 years ago, on September 3, 1994. Mark Druce, Paul Moody & Anton Rogan scored in a 3-3 thriller 👇 📹 YouTube/Jim Hendo

Off to Stevenage? Any trip to Broadhall Way reminds us of the battles with Graham Westley back in the day 👊 Former #oufc defender Eddie Odhiambo played for both clubs and took us inside one of Westley’s, erm, interesting team talks when he joined us on the pod last year… 🔊🔊

It was a Ruben Rodrigues masterclass the last time #oufc visited Leyton Orient 🪄 The Portuguese playmaker was involved in all 3 goals - including scoring twice - in a 3-2 win in November 2023, with Craig Short in caretaker charge following Liam Manning’s exit to Bristol City.

#oufc host Ipswich tomorrow, just 8 months since they last met in OX4 - but it feels like much longer. Shemmy Placheta (remember him?) with the late winner after a lovely pass from Brian De Keersmaecker (remember him?) in what proved to be Gary Rowett’s last victory in charge.

All this talk of judicial reviews reminds us of our pod with fans' group FOUL (Fighting for Oxford United's Life) last year. If you think the new stadium's taking a while, the process of #oufc moving to the Kassam Stadium had even more twists and turns... A must-listen! Links in the post below 👇

Quiet weekend at #oufc, so how about some World Cup nostalgia… On this day 36 years ago, former U’s player and manager Mark Wright - who was born in Dorchester - scored the only goal as England beat Egypt 1-0 to reach the last 16 of Italia 90 🇮🇹 A huge goal in an iconic summer!

It didn’t go too badly the last time #oufc went to Millwall for their final away game of the season. Two sweet strikes from Conor McAleny and a Josh Ruffels header earned a 3-0 win at The Den in 2017 🎯 📹 YouTube/Millwall FC

Whether #oufc are down or not come 3pm tomorrow, let’s hope the game is as entertaining as the last time they beat Sheffield Wednesday at home. This 3-2 thriller in January 2022 was settled by Sam Winnall’s header - plenty of feeling in that celebration 👊 📹 YouTube/Oxford United Official

It’s surely win or bust for #oufc tonight, but maybe there’s a good omen... On this day eight years ago, Karl Robinson’s side were also battling the drop when they went to Doncaster in League One - and James Henry’s header secured a vital 1-0 win 🫡 📹 YouTube/Oxford United Official

As a 12 year old I was devastated when Judge replaced Hardwick, who'd been a hero of our incredible rise through the divisions. So, really pleased to hear - many years later - how gracious Alan is about deposing his old team mate. Goalkeeper's Union is an extraordinary thing. Great listen! 👍#OUFC

It’s slim pickings when it comes to #oufc home wins over Watford (just 4 in 21 games), but none are more relevant than last season’s 1-0 victory. Siriki Dembele (remember him?) with a priceless late goal to end a 9-game winless run and boost the survival push 💪 📹 YouTube/EFL

It’s 62 years since #oufc’s most famous meeting with Blackburn. 21,700 fans squeezed into the Manor for an FA Cup 5th round tie in February 1964, as 4th-tier United claimed a shock 3-1 win over a Rovers side who were 2nd in Division 1. Some great British Pathé footage here!
