Tempers go at Oxford United
Brian De Keersmaecker was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Oxford United buy the years ahead of Peter Amidu Acquah
He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief

- Squad Siriki Dembélé finally opens his account
