Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 To be fair a lot of them are saying, 2 from - Berbatov/Hernandez/Owen/Rooney, Yes they will rest players, but I get the impression they dont think it'll just be turn up smash us 6-0 and go home.
Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 No i bet hlaf of them beg nearly a whole team of changes and a first start for an inexperienced goal keeper every week... Many Saints fans want to field a weakened side. Does that mean they expect Saints to beat Man Utd easily?
trousers Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2276741,00.html "Everybody is excited to play against them, all the players, everyone in Southampton, but the manager may decide to rest one or two players because we have the Tuesday game. "This is not our first target, but it's a game we're going to fight in to win, it's on our pitch, it's a big game on TV everyone is going to watch Southampton against Manchester United, so we're going to see what our level is and what we're going to do against a big team. "We will see what will happen after that, because the Tuesday game against Exeter is more important for us at this time."
Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Does that mean he's been dropped and he's seeing it as him being 'rested'
Saint_clark Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Does that mean he's been dropped and he's seeing it as him being 'rested' Probably, but he does get rested often when we have midweek games.
Victor Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Close, but Giggs isn't playing. They might mention Bobby Stokes. Any news whether or not he's playing?
Chez Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Does that mean he's been dropped and he's seeing it as him being 'rested' strange that we played both Martin and Seaborne then yesterday. Mind you they both perhaps needed a game to sharpen them up.
Appy Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 They might mention Bobby Stokes. Any news whether or not he's playing? cvnt
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 No pre match comments from Adkins yet? Maybe he is busy sealing a deal for Messi?
Liquidshokk Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Not sure if this is anywhere else on the site but enjoying watching this at the moment; "How Southampton won the cup" http://www.itv.com/sport/football/facup/news/video-southampton-v-manchester-united-how-the-1976-cup-finalwas-won/?
Hatch Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Southampton v Man Utd (1715 GMT) Nigel Adkins has done a great job since taking charge of Southampton in September. They had a blip at Tranmere on Saturday but I'm told Rovers are a bit of a bogey team for them, and they have been going really well in League One otherwise. Saints have got loads of goals in their side, and they turned Blackpool over in the last round, but I think they should just try to enjoy their big day against United rather than hoping too much for a repeat result. Yes, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will probably change his team around, especially because they have got another midweek Premier League game against Aston Villa on Tuesday, but they should still be too strong for Southampton. Prediction: 0-2 Lawros prediction on the Beeb website.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Lawros prediction on the Beeb website. Fair comments too.
Hatch Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Have any of our players played against Man Utd before. Presumably Davis , Jaidi, Chaplow, Connolly..any others.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Have any of our players played against Man Utd before. Presumably Davis , Jaidi, Chaplow, Connolly..any others. Morgan and Gobern both in 2009.
Jimmy_D Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Lawros prediction on the Beeb website. We don't want him backing us anyway... all the time he tipped us for relegation we always escaped lol

Mattio Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Would be good to see Rooney and Owen togetherm not that i want them to play well of course!
70's Mike Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Good job a lot of you were not around in 76, you would not have bothered to go to wembley, this is football miracles do happen

Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Just watched Adkins interview on SaintsPlayer, and he confirmed that Lallana wouldnt be involved, gutted.
Saint_clark Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Just watched that Adkins interview as well - disgusted by the press that are never there who have suddenly turned up now we're playing Man United, all clamouring and cutting each other off to get a word in, putting words into Adkins mouth about Chamberlain. F*ck off you leechs.
Mattio Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Just watched Adkins interview on SaintsPlayer, and he confirmed that Lallana wouldnt be involved, gutted. You'd be more gutted if he got stretchered off on Saturday and was out til August!

Jonnyboy Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Taxi for Rory ;-) 2-0 united (2-1 if lallana plays) Lawro agrees with me then Originally Posted by Mark Lawrenson Southampton v Man Utd (1715 GMT) Nigel Adkins has done a great job since taking charge of Southampton in September.

dubai_phil Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Oh krap, my two business meetings have both been canned so no way I can justify coming back. Am gutted was looking forward to a big day out and lots of real ale. Will have to sit in a pub over here surrounded by Plastic Mancs paying 6 quid a pint. Sod it

disintegration87 Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 The game will be showed on terrestrial TV in Germany tomorrow!!!!..Luckily i've had plenty of practise in taking abuse from germans for me supporting a ****ty team last summer so I dont mind what the score is just happy to see SMS on TV over here! We'll win 4-0 anyways though.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Van der Sar, Evra and Rafael not travelling, otherwise "strong squad".
sussexsaint Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 You'd be more gutted if he got stretchered off on Saturday and was out til August! This is my biggest worry about the whole match if I'm honest

I thought there was something wrong with my browser as the ads at the end say 1 of 2 but not so. Not even on youtube either. So funny watching charlton sat there playing with a piece of thread and looking like he's about to fall asleep! lol
Liquidshokk Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Fergie bringing strong squad apparently. Complimented us on on the back of observing us thrashing Oldham; Sir Alex says he will be taking a strong squad to St Mary’s for the FA Cup fourth round tie against Southampton despite being without a handful of first team regulars. http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2011/Jan/Strong-squad-for-Cup-trip.aspx?
DT Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 4-0 United. Especially if they just cotton on to the fact that our keeper can't do anything near the six yard box.
hutch Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Sir Alex says he will be taking a strong squad to St Mary’s for the FA Cup fourth round tie against Southampton despite being without a handful of first team regulars. If that **** Holloway had said something similar, he could have saved Blackpool 25 Grand

Saint_clark Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 If anyone abroad is looking for a stream tomorrow, it's possible it will be on http://www.tvcatchup.com Need to sign up, but it's completely free - not sure if it's for UK users only though.
lethallee Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 evra and rafael not featuring so may be a good opportunity for us to use pace in the wide areas though Dickson and Ox. Unless Carrick plays then I don't think we will get much joy through the middle ! Shame Lallana not fit I would of loved seeing him play against a top team like united.
gogo_saint Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 SSN reports Ferdinand wont be playing either be that new keeper Anders Lindegaard could make his debut. That little bit of hope inside me is foolishly growing. "DODGY KEEPER!"
alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 The game will be showed on terrestrial TV in Germany tomorrow!!!!.. WHAT ???? Which channel, FFS ????
alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 SPORT1, used to be DSF YES !!!! RESULT!!!
ohwhenthesaints Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 SPORT1, used to be DSF YES !!!! RESULT!!! I was out of the country for 2 weeks earlier this month and it was hard enough not being able to go to games. I can imagine what it's like not being able to see any unless they're on TV (hardly ever), so enjoy the game. Did you ever sign up to Saints Player to watch the highlights and listen to the games? It's well worth the money for the extended highlights and interviews etc.

I keep reconsidering and coming to the same conclusion.
