Go and watch Oxford

On 25 seconds.  
“Some have said they will ask for their season-ticket money back if Wes goes.  I say come to the County Ground and I will give you the money back, but then don’t come back to the County Ground.  Go to Oxford United and watch them. Don’t come and support Swindon, we don’t need these types of supporters."

I nearly resigned

In an interview after winning promotion at Gillingham on 21 April, PDC revealed he nearly resigned 45 days before.  Funnily enough, this was just days after PigHill had been beaten 2-0 by Oxford United.

1000 miles ahead

8 goal striker Mehdi Kerrouche has signed for Oxford on a one month loan.  In an interview with the PigHill advertiser, the suspended S*****n supremo said,  

“Mehdi is a good player, he has good technical quality but I don’t see how much difference he can make for them in one month,  I don’t mind if they become strong because I believe we are a much better side than them, we are 1,000 miles ahead of them.  Even when we were struggling at the start of the season, the game against them should have finished 8-2 to us, but it was 2-1 to them.  At this moment in time we are better than them.  They are a side that can maybe compete to go up through the play-offs, but I am not worried that Mehdi goes there because we are a much better side.” 

It seems the team talk for the fixture is already written, and perhaps the Tottenham supporting number 9, James Constable, having spurned PDC's offers, will stick another brace up on the scoreboard for the Us.

Paolo Di Canio's thoughts ahead of the derby game


Swindon Town manager : Paolo Di Canio
Since yesterday morning I woke up thinking about Oxford and I felt straight away the butterflies in my stomach.

I think this rivalry is bigger than Lazio and Roma. In Rome the rivalry is big but they play twice a year. Here, they don't play often, so the rivalry has grown.

It's the most important derby of my career.

This is absolutely a very special game and for us it should be a World Cup final.

"He's [Oxford United Striker, No. 9 James Constable] a big Swindon fan through and through - the Oxford fans know it.

If my players put in even 10 per cent of the fans’ desire for this game, they will be okay, with 100 per cent we will win easy but even if they bring with them 10 per cent of the fans’ desire to give their best then I will be very happy because then we are in a right way.

The 11 who will start on Sunday must be an 11 who can play football but also give their heart. I don’t mean that a good technical player will not play but they have to show that even if they are not proper nasty people, that is what they have to become in a positive and professional way.”



Oxford United Manager : Chris Wilder
We will keep our heads down and let them get on with it. You don’t win anything with articles or quotes in the paper, but every manager has their own approach.  But it’s not about me, it’s about my players and it’s about the supporters getting behind us like they always do. 


My Tottenham-supporting number nine will be all out to get the goals for Oxford on Sunday.
