Aidomo Emakhu breaks a bone — 53 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 53 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Jaydee Canvot keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Oxford United may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

No end in sight to Oxford United's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Oxford United has to find a result from somewhere.

A falling-out at Oxford United
Jamie Cumming and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Words at Oxford United training over how hard people work

1‑3 to Hull City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Crystal Palace tell Oxford United: Jack Rudoni is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Match17 Aug 2027
Leeds United take the points off Oxford United
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
