Hello friends and welcome to what I hope is this time is a much longer story than my previous effort with Oxford. Before I go any further a big thanks to all who voted and in the end Ajax came out the clear winners. The company I work for sponsors Ajax so here’s a link to the sponsorship page. http://www.aegon.com/en/EN-Homepage/About/Sponsorships/Ajax-soccer/ So in looking at the Ajax first team squad I was already happy with what was available but [Read more]
Hello my friends. I’m sad to say my Oxford save is no longer as it just didn’t grab my interest the same way my Swindon game did and in some respects I wish I hadn’t given up on them. Therefore, I’m looking to start a new game and Johnny has very kindly put together a poll for me. So here are the choices and the reason why. Ajax …simply because the company I work for (AEGON) [Read more]
We started off September with a trip to Gravesend to play Ebssfleet. Due to fatigue I was forced to rotate three of the back four players with the exception of Canadian Ross Smith. I was pleased with these changes as the defence coped very well with the early pressure and some long balls clearance set up a couple of early chances for Paterson.

To start with a quick history of Oxford United… Oxford United was founded in 1897 as Headington United, adopting the current name in 1956. Oxford joined the Football League in 1962 after winning the Southern [Read more]
Hello Everyone I’ve decided not to carry on with Swindon anymore. As you will see below their was not much improvment in August and the defeat against Derby was the final nail in the coffin. There’s really not much to write about when all the action is in your own half which has been the case since the start of 2012 and so it’s very difficult to be motivated and continue on. I’d like to thank [Read more]
Hello everyone and welcome back to my Swindon Town story. We left off last time with Swindon managing to stay up in the Premier League mainly thanks to other results going our way but sometimes you need a bit of luck now and again. We returned from our summer break in which we saw Norway surprisingly become Champions of Europe and in some ways gave us renewed hope for the forthcoming season by showing us [Read more]
