Looking for help from #oufc I bought 2 adult tickets for West Brom fc away which I’ve been charged for but haven’t received them? Do I risk going to the Hawthorns & trying to pick them up?

Here’s my prediction for our starting XI home to Bristol City. Personally I’d prefer Long at LB and to give Romeny a chance to start as CF but doubt if that’ll happen. Hoping for a 2-0 win. Thoughts fellow Yellows? #oufc 💛💙💛

Just checked the weather forecast for tonight’s match. 1* degree unless you’re in the South Upper which will feel like -10* degrees #BrassMonkeys. Don’t forget your thermals, gloves, scarf, lucky bobble hat and optional blanket 🤣🤣💛💙💛

Looking forward to tonight’s match against Luton. I’m a bit worried that I’m expecting us to win & hoping we don’t get complacent. Here’s how I expect we will start. My prediction is 2-0 win. What does everyone else think? #oufc COYY 💛💙💛

With all the January signings and injuries I’m really not sure about our starting Xl today v Blackburn. Here’s my probably incorrect guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️💛💙💛#oufc

Good half for the Yellows! Great goal from Vaulks Oxford Lead 1-0 at halftime. I’m wearing my lucky bobble hat & Brett has his lucky pants on again & they are doing the job🤣🤪. Up the Yellows #oufc

Unbeaten in 2025, 100% away record & 100% record under Rowett. I’ll keep on wearing my lucky Jingle Bells Bobble Hat for the rest of the season if we keep this up! Happy Days. COYY 💛💙💛#oufc

I’m with the birthday boy and wearing my lucky bobble hat. Oxford score to go 1 up v Millwall. Scorer Ruben Rodriguez. Come on you Yellows! #oufc 💛💙💛

OufcRockstar aka Ray Claridge @oufcrockstar.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Seriously considering going to Millwall & watching our first away win. Anyone know if tickets are still available? #oufc.

OufcRockstar aka Ray Claridge @oufcrockstar.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Great result today and Boxing Day. I even predicted that Gary Rowett would keep the same (winning) starting XI. Looks like I’m going to have to keep on wearing my lucky Jingle Bells hat too. Up the Yellows #oufc 💛💙💛

Attention all #oufc fans. Glow in the aftermath of a great home win & give this podcast a listen. Also worth checking out part 2 which is also out now. 💛💙💛

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

My (even more incorrect) prediction for starting XI & score for tomorrow’s “throw away” match away to Leeds. Thankfully FanHub doesn’t ask us to pick the manager 🤣. I’m expecting a 3-0 defeat but hoping for a 1-1. A win would be a miracle (but so Oxford!). COYY. Gary Rowett’s (hopeful) Yellow Army

I’m still trying to process today’s oufc news & Des no longer being our Manager. Was he sacked or did he leave? It feels like we’ve lost one of our family. I guess time will tell if it’s a blessing or a disaster. Des is a legend and will always be one of us and I’m grateful for all he has done. 1/2

Here’s my (usually wrong) prediction for starting XI on Saturday, Oxford United v Sheff Weds. Score prediction 2-1 win (Brannagan & Scarlett) #oufc. What do you think? 💛💙💛

My usual (mostly incorrect) line up prediction for Oxford away at Plymouth. Not sure if Kioso is back or if Tyler will miss it if his partner goes into labour? Either way, hoping for a 2-1 away win. Up the Yellows 💛💙💛 #oufc

Question for any fellow oufc fans who go by motor bike & park at the ground. Do we have to input our number plates at the stadium to avoid a Kassam parking fine? #oufc

I just had Elon Musk follow me here on BlueSky (or someone pretending to be him), I’ve blocked him. Don’t want anyone who spreads hate & lies in my life. Only follow me if you advocate peace, love, tolerance and inclusion for everyone not just the rich.

Here’s my (usually wrong) prediction for tonight’s starting XI away v Sheffield United. Tell me yours (and where I have got it wrong 🤪🤦🏻‍♂️🤣) #Oufc Also while you’re there score. I’m hoping for 1-1, but expecting a 3-1 defeat, however I’d definitely take a 1-0 win 😬

What starting XI are we expecting for Saturday’s home match v boro? Hopefully we have some of our injured players back although doubt they will start?

Come on you Oxford! Continuing the Oxford United tradition in my family. My Dad & Grandad took me to The Manor in the 60’s as a child to watch my Uncle Bud Houghton, Oxford’s No. 9 and to numerous home & away matches over the years. Here’s me with my eldest daughter and my oldest grandson. #Oufc

Another wonderful Wednesday. Bike ride with my youngest and a friend to London, vinyl shopping and visit to Gibson Guitar Garage to play a £9,000 Gibson Explorer, then back to The Bullingdon, Oxford to catch the Hamilton Loomis gig. Definitely recommend checking him out 🎸🎤🎵🤘

Tolerance, decency, empathy and compassion for everyone. Farewell to the hateful former Twitter, hello & welcome to Bluesky. A breath of fresh air to those of us that long for the (not quite) lost art of kindness and love for our fellow humans (and animals obviously). Free hugs to all that ask 😃💛💙💛
