We Are Oxford United

'Esse est percipi aut percipere'
Whatever league we have found ourselves in, Oxford United has always been more than the players on the pitch. This is a collection of images, and occasional words, which evoke or inform this Oxford United for one supporter, and in which you might recognise an Oxford United you know.

A blog of pictures and few words...

...but here are some before we go.

Aspects of Oxford United

The occasional pen portrait

  • Luke Foster: 'And I within, who came at the wrong time - either too soon, or after it was all too late.'
  • Mark Creighton: 'This strange hulking presence gnawing its meat was like nothing she had ever imagined, and she felt a profound admiration and pity for the lonely creature.'
  • Danny Bulman and Simon Clist: 'To antiquity we grant the indulgence of making the origins of cities more impressive by commingling the human with the divine...'
  • Sam Deering: 'Don't give a damn, what I wanted was to go in the Metro.'
  • More occasional pen portraits...
  • Other writing...

  • Pullman and animal nature
