Man Utd to take on U's?
MANCHESTER United could be playing their first match in England as the new European Champions at the Kassam Stadium.
oOxford United director Jim Smith has been in discussions with his friend Sir Alex Ferguson about the Red Devils sending a team to play the U's in July, though it is unlikely to contain any of the players who beat Chelsea on penalties in Moscow on Wednesday.
Smith said: "They are one of three or four teams we have been talking to trying to get a firm date, along with Fulham, QPR and Portsmouth.
"They are the calibre of opposition we are trying to get for a pre-season game, but it would be a Manchester United XI, not their first team."
Oxford United took on a Man Utd XI two years ago, and were fortunate then that the Old Trafford outfit included internationals like Cristiano Ronaldo - who scored twice in a 4-1 win - Gabriel Heinze, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, which boosted the gate to 11,500.
"The last time we were very lucky because one of Manchester United's planned tours abroad was cancelled at very late notice, so they were able to bring some top players," Smith said.
Manchester United's senior squad is already committed to a Far East tour, which will see them take in Japan, Korea Republic, Macau and Malaysia between July 17-27.
The pre-season friendly Oxford United had pencilled in against QPR on July 19 has been called off because the Kassam Stadium is needed for another event that day.
United general manager Mick Brown said: "We came back with other dates, but they couldn't rearrange it.
"We have a number of games in the pipeline, but we prefer to announce them all in one go, rather in dribs and drabs, and we hope to be able to do that soon."

That would suggest the stadium deal isn't going to be done any time soon then... Well not before the start of the season.

It is imperative, that the club take over the ownership of the stadium as soon as possible. While that man Kassam has a hold over the club & drains thousands away each Season.It limits what we can spend on good players etc.

So many people moan about K*ss*m and say how much they hate him but nobody does anything except use the places he receives rent money from.
If people made his life a little more difficult he might take notice.
Hope the new baby's ok Firoz!

Playing Manchester United will bring in extra money for the club, have you not considered that?

I would rather see OUFC play a decent foreign side or something like that.
These games mean nothing, but of course we need to make a few quid.
I would rather do that without relying on plastic premiership morons though!

Why all the anti Kassam comments? Merry is our current chairman and in my opinion doing a crap job. He promised to buy the stadium in the first summer he was here thats 2 years ago. Merry is full of hot air and we the fans should be putting pressure on him and making his life difficult not Kassam. Lets get over this hate Kassam nonsense he didn't get us relegated Merry and Jim did. Also lets remember Kassam saved this club from what I understand we would of gone out of business if Kassam hadn't took over. We can't do anything about the past so lets do something about here and now and ask more of Merry cos lets face it he has done nothing for Oxford united. (Except for arranging pointless friendlies with African teams which he couldn't even do that properly.)

Unlike Hitler who had a very deep hatred of Jews, Muhammad spent the early part of his prophetic mission (13 years) trying to convince the Jews and Christians that he was the final prophet of Allah and that his Allah was the one and same God that the Jews and Christians worshipped. The Jews and Christians thought he was a false prophet and rejected his prophetic claim.
Having been largely unsuccessful in his mission to preach his new creed in his birth-city of Mecca, Muhammad relocated to Medina. It was there that Muhammad reinvented a new violent Allah—a god of mass-murder, extermination, terror, torture, looting. In the new reformed Islam, deceit, torture, murder, assassination, massacre, genocide, pillage, robbery, enslavement and rape became halal (legal) acts, deserving of paradise, as long as they were perpetrated on infidels. To already permitted polygamy, the new Allah added temporary marriages (muta), pedophilia, marriage with adopted son's wives, wife beating, and sex with slave girls.
In Medina, the teachings of the Koran exploded into hatred and rage against the Polytheists, Jews, Christians and all other infidels. The hatred of Muhammad and his Allah was directed specifically against the peoples of the book, namely the Jews and Christians, who had dared to reject the prophethood of Muhammad. With the Polytheist of Medina soon joined his creed, the Jews and Christians remained the only challenge to the authority of Muhammad and the legitimacy of Islam. Due to the danger posed by the peoples of the book, the Jews and Christians, their destruction became an imperative. As the First Final Solution of the Jews—a dominant and wealthy community of Medina—their murder and mass exile from Arabia, the looting of their rich towns, the rape and enslavement of their women by Muhammad and his Allah were set in motion.

That may be the story of the fella they call Mohammed, but the religion that exists today was concocted sometime afterwards. It was put together as a focal point to bring the many warring Arabic tribes together so they could create an Arabic empire. This is why Islam (as it now called) is the hodgepodge of the various religions of the region at the time (i.e. a little bit Christian, a little bit Jewish, with a generous sprinkling of many Polytheists practices). The main goal was/is assimilation into Arabic culture; even today many Arabs regard Pakistanis, Iranians, etc as assimilated Arabs rather than ‘pure Muslim brothers’.

Putting all the religious nonsense to one side……… A pre-season game against Man United is quite a good idea! Might help persuade some players to sign for us.

So,a friendly with Man Und eh? I would hope that before any arrangements are made that we have the nous to establish what kind of team Man U would be sending? To get a full house only to find when we are all there that our apponents are youth/reserve players would be unforgiveable.

Reserves with a couple of first teamers thrown in would be acceptable, youth team definately not. For those that shrink at the thought of their reserves, be realistic - they will play at a far greater standard than what we will be watching for the rest of the season !!
As for Dave, well come off it - football is a world-wide sport and no matter where you live you can support whoever you choose. I don't know where you live but maybe you should be supporting your local club 'Oxford City' and not what was 'Headington United' where does the boundary begin?
I support OUFC 100% but I have nothing but admiration (plus jealousy) for Man Utd, they play great football and deserve their support no matter where it comes from.

Hope it goes ahead and they bring 1 or 2 stars. It wouldn't suprise me with that it doesnt go ahead tho as we will probably double book like the idiots who run this club did with the QPR game. Will the board finally buy the stadium or if not do the decent thing and put the club up for sale and hopefully get a buyer who will stick to there promises.
