At least they made a game of it against us,completely outplayed today,Utd will have to spend a lot of money soon because what they have won't get them very far.

 

Disagree slightly Utd just need a new CM and there be fine Anderson and Fletcher are not the answer Fletcher is the only player who could make the bench for most teams, Morgan and Cork would be a better partnership then them 2.

Was it Tony Hancock who tried to go the day without finding out the footie results out so he could watch it on MOTD?

 

Thanks a bunch.

 

I was with Jonny on that one - thought I might be safe on a Saints forum!

Never mind, looks worth watching - and saves Mrs RB spending the whole evening desperate to tell me the score.

 

Nobody has actually mentioned the result on this thread yet. For all you know, United scored 7...

I live in a suburb of Trafford and went down to Sainsburys to do a shop after the game. Lots of gloomy lads with United shirts on and far more than usual Citeh shirts on display in what is a very red district usually! Had to smile.

Thought Trafford was in Manchester, United shirts in Manchester, must be a first, or were they getting some shopping before heading back down the M6.

It's still our record. And we can better it, I want Man City in the cup. Rather play Man City the way we're playing right now. A full fit squad and Nigel's nouse, I'd fancy having a crack at them at some point. What a way to announce our arrival on the scene.

 

Man City, yes please...mmmm

Although Manchester Police had a pretty quiet time, there were ugly scenes in Dartford, Milton Keynes, Newton Abbott, Chippenham and all across The Home Counties as disgruntled Man Yoo fans went on the rampage after the match :rolleyes:

What p***s me off is that when the 6-3 game gets mentioned these days, the radio media refer to it as the grey shirts game when Fergie made them change their shirts at half time.

 

This was mentioned recently on Talk Sport. To be honest you don't listen to Talk Sport if you want sensible rational information so I did not get too concerned. Last week however FiveLive made the same mistake. To avoid any doubt we beat manu 3-1 (the grey shirts game) in April one year and we beat them 6-3 in October the same year - but different seasons.

 

Talk Sport probably cannot conceive "lowly" Southampton as ever being capable of beating the mighty Man U. 5 Live these days are probably too busy making and playing their incessant jingles to bother to check facts.

ITV repeated this nonsense for BOTH the Saints v Man U FA Cup ties in recent years. It has become a thing of legend, in folklore the 3-1 doesn't exist and the 6-3 was the grey shirt match. Utter cobblers, but if you repeat a lie often enough some people will believe it - like what Puncheon wore to Liebherr's memorial, or that Kevin Phillips said bad things about Saints after leaving.

BBC News have finally got around to mentioning the 6-3 result, showing that beautiful lob by Le Tissier, pointing out it happened a week after the 5-0 result by Newcastle, and asking if things are worse now because they've been thrashed like that at home.

2-2 the year previous to that. It was 2-1 to us when the ball bounced out of play and dropped to me in Row 1. I threw it to Mark Hughes, who threw it in to Gary Pallister who scored the equaliser.

 

Still, those 2 points they dropped that day ended up costing them the title that year.

Just the one sub allowed in those days.

So it's your fault? You bloody idiot. If we had got relegated that year, I would have blamed you. And you alone.

yep 3-1 was the grey shirts

then we did em 6-3

and then 1-0 the season after

 

After these victories we had I believe the best record of all sides against United in the top division, although we have been overtaken since. My memory plays me false these days but I believe that at one time we beat them in 5 successive games but of course even better than the 6-2 was going to Old Trafford and caning them 4-1 (Davies 4).

Has anybody actually answered the OP question yet??

 

Yes

 

The last time they let in 6 at home was 1930, according to the BBC report.

 

In fact in the 1930-31 season, Man U:

  • lost 6-2 away to Chelsea
  • lost 6-1 away to Derby
  • lost 7-0 away to Aston Villa
  • lost 6-0 at home to Huddersfield
  • lost 7-4 at home to Newcastle

They finished bottom by 9 points!

So they've conceded 6 or more a few time. Football did exist before the premier league you know.

OP wanted to know home or away. I can't recall Utd conceding 6 away anywhere other than The Dell (remember 5 a few times!) - can anyone else??

There was a massive difference when we got 6 we didn't score 3 in added time to make the score line look better

 

 

....and was it Roy Keane who got red-carded in the first 20 mins...?

 

Ah ! who cares, it's 6 in the record books anyway....and according to

In that Number..it was :

1-0 Berkovic 6 min.

2-0 Le Tissier 34 min.

2-1 Beckham 41 min. (who?)

3-1 Ostenstad 45 min.

3-2 May .......56 min.

4-2 Berkovic 83 min.

5-2 Ostenstad 85 min.

5-3 Scholes 89min.

6-3 Neville o.g. 90 min. (although we credited it to Ostenstad)

 

...in front of a then reduced record crowd at The Dell of (wait for it )....15 253 (!)

 

DATE: October 23rd 1996 (15 years ago last Saturday )

all together... Happy Anniversary Man.Utd.
