Timmy and Oxford United
Hallowed turf!
Timmy
loves football and follows Oxford United. After 44 years in the Football league, former winners of the Milk Cup, Oxford were relegated to the Blue Square Premier (Conference) Of course joy and despair are equal and opposite ends of the same football emotion. If you want success and promotion you have to accept the awful possibility of defeat and relegation.
No other game produces quite such emotion. You may change your job, house or wife but your football club is forever.
But last season brought new confidence and a fabulous sense of optimisim. Oxford enjoyed an unbeaten run of 18 games - the best start to a season ever and ended as runners up with the excitement of the play-offs! 
It's a family thing - supporting your team!
There's always room for a true yellow Fan!
Striker Twiggy and Captain Gilly discuss tactics with the Malletts!
