I remember this game quite well, a cold and slightly misty afternoon, as the floodlights came on Old Trafford had a surreal feel to it. It was actually a fairly evenly matched encounter, Forlan scored the winner late on after Beattie (I think) had equalised for us, but as I recall both sides had chances (although Man Utd more). What annoyed me the most about the game was that on the highlights on MOTD later in the evening they showed every one of Man Utds chances/half chances but pratically only showed our goal. The 'expert pundits' after the game only talked about Man Utd and didn't even give Saints a mention. A Bournemouth based Man Utd supporting mate of mine whi hadn't been at the game, later commented that it was a walkover and Man Utd should have won by 4 or 5 goals. I don't think I ever realised how bad the TV bias towards big teams was until then.
