The GP rider is probably Huckenbeck imo.

German manager has already bought one German rider in so why not bring in another?

I don't see who else it could be because Robert Lambert would certainly end up at KL if he wanted to race over here.............Unless Buster is broke?????

Money isn’t an issue if you knew the type of Dudes that KL have been speaking too…

Still stunned by how many thought that Oxford were a great side who would win the league .  Could never get my head around it.

Now I’m not an accountant, but if they’re prepared to talk to him, money can’t be an issue…

Honestly don't remember many saying they thought Oxford would win the league, but no doubt there would have been plenty who thought they could win the league, myself included. Of course that was when I thought Janowski was gonna be an 8+ rider.

Anyway they can still be Champions, don't have to be the best team until the final 4 matches.

They are  not  going to make  the final 4 matches..Why on earth did you think  Magic be a plus 8 rider. Hes been on the  downgrade for a while hence why he joinex  in the first place..When i had seen the general  postive  reaction to this side i thought i  had read the  names wrong.

No, I would have used a smiley face or something if it did. 

Does forcing an understrength team to compete in the PL because they can only ride Monday nights nonsense make you happy?

It wasn't particularly understrength - ask Ipswich - but very inconsistent. And with Lindgren, it isn't now.

And last night, the stadium was packed out.

Janowski had been a top GP rider for years, last year he had a poor (injury hit) season but I didn't see any reason why he couldn't reach his starting average.

Oxford are currently 4th in the "rankings" (away points gained - home points lost). So it's up to Leicester to start winning away to put them under pressure for a play-offs spot, providing Oxford don't lose at home.

They are a good side which will be helped by the return of Kerr, nobody said they were league winners I dont think. I said they were play off contenders

Here comes the back tracking..A great side Magic will  be a great No 1 etc etc Orion on the wind up etc etc..i told you at the start of season that Magic is on the downgrade and Oxford would never get enogh heat winners away from home.Kerr for Cook is a much of  muchness.

What exactly are you looking for? A big pat on the back? Some people great predictions right, and some get them wrong...that's why they are predictions. Nobody can see into the future.

I have never said any of that, Kerr is much better than Craig Cook in my opinion. I said I would love to see Janowski as I remember how he used to ride for Poole but that was in hope more than expectation as I realise he is not the rider he was. I also never said you were on the wind up. What I did say is that Oxford were a good side which would make the play offs and I still think that.

He wants oxford to do badly, that is clear. He wants to be proved correct however detrimental that is to Oxford. What Oxford have done , running 3 teams is very brave and should be applauded. I have been to Sandy Lane many times going back to Todd Wiltshire, Hans Neilsen etc and have seen many great meetings at that track and hope to see many more.

A decent side in my view, orion is on a wind up. It is more strength in depth, very few reserves will beat Kerr.

Yea of course you never said any of that. Lol

Janowski for me isn't a complete disaster yet.... on the TV meeting he was competitive, there or thereabouts.

Granted for a rider of his calibre people expect him to have the Emil effect but genuinely think Magic will come good ovee the next 2 or 3 meetings and will score 9/10's   not quite the old Magic but he'll come good
