The Oxblogger Podcast

Going on about Oxford United‘s past like it‘s a good thing.

E22 - The owners - "Erick seems like a cheeky chappy"

In a much delayed episode recorded during the Indonesian tour and now reassuringly out of date, we set out to talk about owners of Oxford United. But, because we have no discipline, we ended up only talking about our current owners, cheese and then we did a quiz about Brians.   Music by Fin

E21 - Oxblogger Awards 2025 - 'It didn't continue Brannagan's legend, it elevated it.'

Now the dust has settled on the season, it's time to don our fanciest clothes by designers like Matchwinner, Manor Leisure and Cabrini and hand out the Oxblogger Awards. Who was the Player of the Season? The Unsung Hero? Villian of the Year? And what were the champagne moments? And would 100 Ole Romenys really be able to fight a gorilla? In those trousers? All this and more, in the Oxblogger Podcast.

E20 - Rule changes - 'Beano's snack hatch.'

It's the international break, and while we're disappointed not to have been called up for international podcasting duty, we're back to talk about rule changes. From the new eight second rule to the laws we'd like to see introduced, which ironically would seem to make the game more lawless. Plus, pleasure at the purple palace, James Constable's secret bounty and Asa Hall's FA Cup destiny.

E16 - Team of League Two - "He's not Thierry Henry, he's Dean Smalley.'

It's time to sort the Tom Neweys from the Tony Capaldis and your Harry Worleys from your Dean Smalleys to choose Oxford United's Team of League Two. Should we take a long punt on Peter Leven, look up to Paul Futcher or just pick a team of Andy Whings?

E15 - Sponsorship - "Without doubt my favourite type of glass is Bangkok Glass."

We're Back (and Rounds). In this episode, we're re-thinking Polythene, prescribing a life without debt and working out to our Animalates DVD talking about Oxford United sponsorship. From the curse of sponsors choosing man of the match to our dream of having our name associated with Sam Long's socks (but never meeting him) we explore the weirdly wonderful world of diversified revenue streams. And yes, we did do that for nearly an hour, actually.
