3-1 Game Over

Game, set and match. 3-1. Unlucky York.

3-1, well done Oxford. Long trip home for the York fans, twice they have to do this for recent years. At least we lose to the winners 8-) :oops:

even the two blokes on Radio Poxford are crying, well done them

No arguments can be made, the best team on the day won. Congratulations Oxford, it's about time!

There's a definite shift to the north in the Conference - after losing the Devon teams and Weymouth a couple of seasons ago, and now Ebbsfleet, Grays and FGR, we'll be heading north far more next season - http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/Trave ... 84,00.html

now that's a hammering

Feel sorry for York and for Rankine, who really should've scored. If Brodie leaves them in the summer I can't see York challenging again, quite a lot of their good form were grounded out 1-0 wins thanks to Brodie goals, without those they'd be mid-table.

Undoubtedly the worst thing about that game was watching Oxford's players and fans celebrate. I haven't got anything against them, it's just that it brought back memories that I'd hoped were filed in the 'Recycle Bin' part of my brain. :(

Yeah it could have been us, tbh I felt like that for most of the time watching the game today, I know Oxford deserved to be there today but it still didn't stop me thinking if just a few things had gone differently in the semi, just a bit more luck then it could have been us at wembley which obviously would have been a dream come true but it's probably time to put it all behind us and look towards next season and hope someone takes Brodie away from York

Some proper arse kissing from Dean Saunders over Ranks, as he was commentating on the match. If he leaves York in the sumer don't be suprised to see him at Wrexham! ;)
