Just Call Me Mystic Meg

Robbie Hall left Oxford to go back to West Ham on the 31st October. Since then he has also appeared for a young England side, coming on as a sub and scoring the winning goal. On the 6th November, I posted the following on the Yellows forum:

Well then, how about this for optimism...

Robbie joined us on the 12th September, and left on the 31st October - roughly 49 days. Emergency loans (which is what Robbie was) can last a maximum of 93 days. So, we can have him for another 44 days until the loan window opens on Jan 1st, when we could 'standard' loan him for the rest of the season. Counting back 44 days from the 1st January you get to the 17th November. So that's when he comes back. Misses the 2 cup matches which he wouldn't have featured in anyway and is back in time for our visit to Crawley on the 19th.

Wishful thinking maybe, but possible.

--------------------------------

It was announced today (16th November) that Robbie would be re-signing for us tomorrow. The 17th - as predicted. With a view to extending a loan at the end of a month, which would take us into the loan period at the start of the new year.

I am happy to admit that my post was as much wishful thinking allied to a bit of maths as it was a prediction really. But I am really, really pleased that it has happened. I am not 'In The Know' at all, no inside info, no whispers from people at the club - so don't expect any of my other crackpot theories to actually come true!

Welcome back Robbie. :)
