Hello friends and welcome to my new story which features Oxford United of the Blue Square Premier League. As they say if you fall off the horse you should get right back on and so it is with Football Manager. To start with a quick history of Oxford United… Oxford United was founded in 1897 as Headington United, adopting the current name in 1956.

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 couldn’t have gotten of to a better start with new signing Todor Naydenov scoring on his debut after being left unmarked for an easy tap in from a Gasmi cross ball. Borja Viguera made it 2-0 five minutes later running onto a through ball [Read more]
Hello my friends and welcome back to the next installment of “Survivor”, Swindon style. The first game of the New Year was against Burnley who had started the season brightly but had dropped down the table over the last little while. Burnley got off to the better start and were rewarded after 20 minutes with a dubious goal from Chris Eagles who looked more than suspiciously offside. The lads though fought back with Gibson commanding [Read more]
