I'm fed up with all these 'bring back so and so' moans. Why doesn't anyone say that when we win? Funny that. Look at who Wilder has let go and look what they've gone on to... The only person who I still think we should have kept is Bulman, but then again, even he's dropped down a level. They may seem harsh at the time, but more often than not, Wilder's been right. Some of the players he's then replaced them with, well, that's another matter altogether! Oh and Ken, you are a prize anus.

I know i'll regret this but to be fair to 'ken' I dont think he actually said bring back yemi. I believe his general point was that div2 safety wasn't an acceptable target and back filled that with 'dont blame the players, they are doing their best but just arent good enough'. As far as those statements go, so far, its not that unreasonable. unfortunately he went on to qualify this by saying something about yemi and foster. now, if the point was the players we have now arent significantly better, it's not entirely unreasonable. Ok, foster hasnt set the world alight since leaving us but he didnt let us down and how many on here were clamoring for him to be given a long term contract to stop him getting poached by clubs a league or two higher. re yemi, ok, all our strikers are probably better than yemi but could you honestly say they are significantly better? To rephrase the question, of our current squad, how many would survive a promotion to div2?
ok, i'm playing devils advocate, but somewhere in kens call there was a reasonable point desperately trying to escape.

Foghorn. I didn't hear it. But I can't help thinking you've read too much into it.

Foghorn. I didn't hear it. But I can't help thinking you've read too much into it. Tbh i was only half listening and it was a bit of a random rant but if you filter out the randomness I think his point was wilder just isnt buying players that are good enough and that the quality hasn't really moved on that much.

I really dont under Ken's point about Yemi. We all know what Yemi offered, he was a 100%er and had a lot of pace. Other than that nothing, he did not have a footballing brain and couldnt finish very well at all for a striker.
Maclean, Craddock and Beano are twice the players Yemi is. I also believe Midson, Green and Potter are all better than him.
It was funny thought - Jerome was even getting wound up!

Ken ..whoever you are ..please don't call Radox post-match again..you were an utter embarassment to the vast majority of supporters and the club in general. I was so relieved when you went off-air but couldn't believe you weren't "pulled"after 30 seconds.

Old Kenneth is getting better, in my view.
Knows his stuff

You can hear Ken's thoughts here TBH, I thought it was Lordwilliam, but he was actually posting his thoughts on here as soon as the game was over.....

Yes!, you might be onto something, it could very easily be the same person. If I remember rightly LordWilliam (previously backtobasics, carlapse, rodfox,jonnybyrne etc, etc etc : used to ring up RadOx under the guise of ' Paul from Brighton' spouting similar negative drivel. "Yemi is a great payer" ;D ;D ;D

Cheers for that link. I never call Radio Oxford, but after hearing Ken's phone-in on my walk back to the car I felt I had to ring up and say something. Anyone know if you can download it somehow? There doesn't appear to be a button on the BBC site.

There is a fat ginger tw*t who in front of us in the SSU. He's in AA192/193 my god what a miserable tw*t. He's never happy, Beano is a B*****D, a C**T, a W****R etc. etc.
The sort of bloke that would complain if Kelly Brook farted in bed !

Listening to this now. Ken is a right PLUM.
I rung Radio Oxford once. That was after Orient on a certain day in May....

For what it is worth, I was at Stevenage v Barnet today. Foster had a reasonable game (and scored), whilst Yemi came on as a second half sub and contributed very little.
Poor old Barnet - they had to give their reserve goalie his debut today - he's 17, not very big and only just able to reach the half way line with his kicks. They were terrible until they were 4-0 down, then played with a bit of a spark to pull 2 goals back

To be fair to Ken (I heard his call), we were all miffed after Saturday's non-show. He was over the top in his lambasting of all things United, but I expect he said those things because he loves our team so much and hates to see them lose. We all say silly things from time to time. Either that, or he's a c*nt!

Just for the record, it was Creighton and Yemi that I think Ken was reminiscing over, not Foster and Yemi.

In his first rant it was defiantly Foster and Yemi, didn't hear Saturday's rendition.
