This Charlton Wycombe game might be the worst game of football I've watched since Wycombe Charlton a few days ago

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@bwfc00078 Should've been used more, didn't really do anything wrong when played but injuries also didn't help him out. Solid signing for you if it happens

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@OrientBanter @oxfjack Did you even read my reply? Never even suggested we're bigger (we are btw) because thats not the point. You think DoF's care about that? It's the ambition, direction and end of the day the money they're interested in, and we swamp you on all 3 counts.

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@OrientBanter It's not debatable at all haha. You finished 21st last season staying up because Exeter couldn't win their game. Budget statement is laughable too, we can come back to this conversation in 3 months and compare money spent if you want, guarantee ours will be far higher

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@OrientBanter @oxfjack Nobody debated the size of club. We know we're league one sized but that doesn't mean every other league one sized club is a sidestep. If club size meant anything Bournemouth wouldn't have just qualified for Europe.

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@OrientBanter Recent history that was 15 years ago now holds no relevance, we categorically have a better budget, better squad, better manager, better training ground, better chance of promotion, better recent success, and in 2-3 years time a better stadium too. It's not up for debate

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@OrientBanter Sideways is very generous haha. You was in League Two as recently as 2023 and very nearly ended back there last season whilst we've been in the championship the last two with clear foundations to get back. Add in the budget differences and its not really a debate

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@OrientBanter Fair enough. I don't know why he'd leave us for Orient unless he feels his job is under significant pressure. His recruitment has hardly been great the last two years and many of our fanbase wouldn't be upset to see him leave but would still be a shock

@Stuartjamess Plenty more to come

@jamie_sparks1 It was silly, almost as silly as that reply too. It's Brannagan btw

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

Parachute payment ex Premier League Southampton were shit scared of Brannagan. Yet people on here will try tell you he's shite 😂

🚨 The League Arbitration Panel's full written reasons on #SaintsFC spying on Oxford United in December:

"A few days before Christmas, Oxford sacked their Manager, Gary Rowett, and replaced him with an Interim Manager, Craig Short. Mr Rowett had usually played with a back five. At a Southampton coaching and analyst meeting in preparation for the match, Mr Eckert asked if someone could go to observe the Oxford training session to see how they were lining up and whether a particular player (Cameron Brannagan) was fit to play.

"In his statement for the Commission hearing, Mr Eckert said that he did not see any issue in doing this: he said he was surprised to learn, after the Middlesbrough Incident, that observing an opposition team shortly before a match was a breach of the Regulations.

"Analyst 1 identified an intern with the Club (the Junior Analyst Intern) to go with the instructions to travel urgently to Oxford and report back on Oxford’s tactical set up and player selection. Analyst 1 accepted in his evidence to the Commission that, although he had not looked at the Regulations, as a result of the disciplinary proceedings brought against Leeds some years before, he was aware that such conduct was a breach of the rules.

"In his evidence to the Commission, the Junior Analyst Intern said: “I didn’t really have an option and wasn’t provided an opportunity to say no…. I was an intern and was doing what I was told.”. There was evidence from the Junior Analyst Intern and Analyst 1 that an analyst had lost his job earlier in the season, and there was a concern that they might lose theirs too. They felt pressurised to do the observations that Mr Eckert and the senior coaches wished them to do.

"The Junior Analyst Intern duly attended Oxford’s training ground, where he was able to observe from public areas and footpaths. During the course of the training session, he sent updates, photographs and videos to Analyst 1 and Analyst 3 concerning matters such as tactical shape and player selection.

"The Club instructed the Junior Analyst Intern to return to observe the Oxford training session the following day, which he did. From his observation, he knew Oxford were going to line up with a back four, not a back five. Analyst 1 said that he prepared a predicted Oxford line up on the basis of the observations made by the Junior Analyst Intern, which he sent to the Junior Analyst Intern and asked him if he was happy with that prediction on what he had seen, to which the Junior Analyst Intern responded: “Yh spot on”. Within five minutes of that message, Analyst 1 sent the same predicted team sheet to Mr Eckert, which included a section entitled “key messages”, which appear to be gleaned from the Junior Analyst Intern’s observations that morning. After that second session, the Junior Analyst Intern had a telephone conversation with Mr Eckert and Analyst 3 when he answered questions about what he had observed, including line up.

"Whilst Mr Eckert said that he did not personally view the footage from the training session and maintained that the information obtained had no impact on the match preparation, during the period of observation and following the provision of some information, Analyst 1 messaged the Junior Analyst Intern on WhatsApp: “Try and make out as much as you can please. You legend. Manager loved it.”"

@jamie_sparks1 Good to see you've realised how silly your reply was and had no other response

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@PelleEnthusiast @jamie_sparks1 Not played in the prem no, but not sure why that's relevant to your multi million pound squad failing to beat a managerless Oxford United even after a spy mission

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@jamie_sparks1 Yeah. The same way Matty Fernandes got relegated for you. Now he has Man Utd, Arsenal and PSG after him. Almost like football isn't as simple as that

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

GET FUCKED GABRIEL HAHAHA

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@oxfjackm Said a week or so ago I can see them dropping off and that was with Challinor. Reckon they'll be way off top two conversations now

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@Jake_Tonge98 @oxfjackm I should hope so you finished 1st with 100 points while we scraped into playoffs on the final day. And yet despite that Moore, Brannagan, Goodrham, Murphy all walk in at a minimum. Our championship squad was awful for the standard but so is yours. Little to no difference

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

21 points. 87 goals conceded. 24th

[Lincoln City FC 🇺🇦 @LincolnCity_FC]

ℹ️ Michael Skubala has left the club after two-and-a-half years to join Bristol City as their new head coach.

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@youimps_ @LincolnCity_FC That's fine mate. Only gotta wait 12 months until you're one of them again

[Callum @Callum_OUFC]

@youimps_ @LincolnCity_FC Go on then enlighten me, what is more aspiring about Lincoln City. You've had one good season since the dinosaurs roamed
