An interesting article has been published by Reuters, and picked up by the Guardian, written by Nick Mulvenney. Entitled
Fergie's success a world away from Oxford United it basically picks up on John Ley's article, linked to last Wednesday, but looks at how Oxford have fared since Alex Ferguson's first game in charge of Manchester United. Difficult though it might be to believe, United haven't actually fared that well in the intervening years. The article stops short of being investigative, but it highlights just how far the Us have tumbled over the past 18 years. Not that we didn't already know that, but still...

Two items of interest to Oxford supporters that are worth preserving appeared in the newspapers over the past couple of days. The first, in The Guernsey Press and Star, features an interview with Channel Islander Chris Tardif about recent events at United. It gives us a nice insight into the mentality of the players before the FA Cup defeat at Rochdale, and also a useful perception into Darren Patterson.
The second article comes from former Oxford Mail reporter, and long-time Us fan, John Ley, in today's Daily Telegraph. Dressed up as a paeon to Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson (sorry, I meant Sir Alex), it is actually a celebration of United's victory over the Red Devils back in 1986, Fergie's first game in charge of the Mancs. A nice reminder of how things used to be up the Manor.
