We've reached another international break, which means it's time for another episode of Behind The Badge - and this time we're joined by the BBC's Chief Football Writer, Phil McNulty.

Although a northerner by birth, Phil has lived in Oxford for almost a quarter of a century. He spoke at great length about watching United with his family and friends, working for the BBC and his growing passion for the club in a place he now calls home.

Four games in, six points on the board, and Oxford United have transitioned rather seamlessly (so far) into a Championship club. As we hit the first international break of the season, Dan and James caught up with the Oxford Mail's Liam Rice to discuss United's start to the campaign.

We also reflect on transfer deadline day, the announcement of United's 25-man squad and look ahead to the next five games before the break for October's internationals. We hope you enjoy!

On the eve of the new season, Dan and James are joined by the Oxford Mail's Chief Sports Writer Liam Rice to discuss the excitement ahead of United's first season back in the second tier of English football for a quarter of a century.

We discuss new players, potential line ups, where the U's still need to strengthen and make (bold) predictions as to how United will fare!
