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

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 💛💙💛

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
