One which we hopefully won't get a chance to end for a while is a league win in Oxford. The only one in the club's history was a 4-1 success over Oxford City in the Southern Amateur League in February 1913.

We've beaten Norwich in the Texaco Cup, Simod Cup and League Cup, and and in 2023 we lost in the league cup to premier league Fulham.
So that's all your jinxes ended.
I ignored the Simon Cup. But looking back from today it is a lot of year since we have turned them over. We have not played them since the 80's to be fair. But it is a run of bad luck we need to end.

Yep that is a classic case of a Jinx and not just a prolonged run like some of the others I mentioned.

They put us out of a cup competition three years in a row in the 80s.

I wonder how many went to the Manor Ground when we were 3-0 up and John Aldridge decided to turn into a great player and we lost 4-3. Crazy game.

Should've said Premier League and not top flight.
The last time we played three consecutive seasons in the top flight must be then season we were relegated around the mid 80's. 85 was it? Seems ages ago.

I’ve lived around Oxford way since 92 and I’ve never seen us beat them, the closest team to me and I invariably end up having to watch it in the home end.
The only time I have been there and we won was in the league cup mid nineties, went to extra time and I had to leave to get a bus home pre driving.

If we get to play them away again in your lifetime, please don't go.
Or, if you must go, please leave with enough time for us to turn it into a win!

Do I remember right that we haven’t won away at Cambridge United?

It is also a fixture we have rarely played. We have played at Oxford quite a lot as far as I can recall and had some nightmares against them. The 4-3 defeat from 3-0 up with Aldridge (I think) getting a hat trick in about 15 minutes springs to mind.

Nightmare! Swear we'd have stayed up if we'd have won.
Think we also lost 4-3 against Everton having been 2-0 up as well. Might have been the previous season that, can't remember

I used to have that video. For the youngsters reading this around this period there was a blanket ban on any football on TV. I think it was in place for a season or two. No match of the day or anything. It was a weird time.
