Eco Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Damn - Oxford win on penalties, defeating Portsmouth 5-4. The U's are going to Wimbledon.
Bluebird Hewitt Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Looks like Oxford vs. Wycombe in the final. Also @Eco, going to Wimbledon doesn't sound very appealing for a final.

Lucas Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 I feel sorry for Pompey. They are like us, just cannot overcome playoffs. Lost to Plymouth in League Two, lost to Sunderland last season and now Oxford this year. It bloody hurts. But...they have got to get rid of Kenny Jackett. They wouldn't have been much cop in the Championship based on what I've seen this season. The bloke is an absolute dinosaur and his old school long ball tactics have hurt Pompey big time. They should be going through automatically in truth, not through playoffs but he will not let them play. Too scared to lose. The plus side of this will be that he's surely gone. And Pompey actually have some decent options available to them potentially. If he leaves Charlton, they should go for Bowyer IMO. He'd get them up. And although I criticised him for Bristol City, Lee Johnson would be a good fit for them in that division.

Another blown chance this time for Portsmouth, and it sucks. This team has too much talent to be diddling around in League One.
Honey Honey Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 I know a couple of Oxford United fans so hope they go up. Though they need to get that 4th stand sorted. That bloke who parks his van in the car park behind the goal and stands in it to see over the fence and watch the games would be disappointed though.

Seeing as it’s Oxford Utd they’ve got a surprisingly large working class fanbase for what you’d expect

tlr Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Oxford has its rough estates and suburbs same as any other city in England. The part down where the Kassam is, Blackbird Leys, is your stereotype inner city council houses job. Always found the city to be a bit grim in general to be honest, gets a way better rep than it deserves. Anyway, pleased for Wycombe and Gareth Ainsworth. Hope they go up but will be nice to have some new blood irrespective. Bit of a derby too which will hopefully add to the game.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted July 7, 2020 Subscriber Posted July 7, 2020 Disappointed for Portsmouth as it would have been good to see them get promoted but they just don't have the luck and have never seemed suited to the pressure of the playoffs. They'll be back up the top of the pile next season and hopefully it's automatic promotion for them instead, along with Sunderland
Smiley Culture Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 A crying shame that Karl Robinson won last night. A thoroughly obnoxious and arrogant clown of a man.

Oxfordshire in general isn’t, there are some very posh villages but a lot of areas around Oxford, Bicester, Banbury etc are just general working class countryside/small town areas
Eco Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Final is today. Will certainly be watching, although I don't care for either team.
Bluebird Hewitt Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Hopefully Wycombe pull it off, though not too upset if Oxford win.
Administrator Stan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 13, 2020 Early goal from Wycombe! Stewart from a corner after 10mins!
Administrator Stan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 13, 2020 What a jammy goal from Oxford
Eco Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 What a goal that was from Oxford. And then they almost scored again.
Eco Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Who is this Bull of aan for Wycombe? He is massive dude.

Administrator Stan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 13, 2020 I go out to make a cup of tea and miss a penalty and Wycombe scoring it
Eco Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 And a penalty puts Wycombe in the lead with 10 minutes to go

Administrator Stan Posted July 13, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 13, 2020 Stewart for Wycombe has been absolute quality. A threat from corners offensively and just everywhere at the back blocking, intercepting and tackling.
