Window Cleaner Posted 15 October, 2013 Share Posted 15 October, 2013 Got to assume Shaw is unlikely play? Without reigniting the the whole Fox debate again, it will make things a lot more difficult for us. United love to attack down the flanks. why is Shaw unlikely to play, he only had tonsilitis, few meds would clear that up in 2 weeks surely.

eelpie Posted 15 October, 2013 Author Share Posted 15 October, 2013 Got to assume Shaw is unlikely play? Without reigniting the the whole Fox debate again, it will make things a lot more difficult for us. United love to attack down the flanks. But didn't Fox play last year at OT? And weren't we the best team to play there? But I agree, Shaw at his best and also Clyne at his best would do much to neutralise MU's threats down the wing.

Jack Posted 15 October, 2013 Share Posted 15 October, 2013 I looked at going the the WP on Sat night, but thought Sundays drive home would be too much of a struggle! Plus after paying £50 for a ticket, I didn't really want to pay 35 to get in a club!! Enjoy. WHP tickets sold out ages ago but I've got a mate who works there so he sorted us out, and I've got somewhere to crash so it's not going to break the bank. Potential for a blinder of a weekend.

One of these please, Dani! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPwNxGiorKA don't often get that much time and space in the PL though. Still it's well executed. If the initial long control hits Agger's feet or legs it's another wasted ball. Edited 15 October, 2013 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if you pull out of 1 match in an international group you pull out of all of them, so for the first match he might not have been apt and perhaps England U21s didn't want to keep him on or anywhere near the group for fear of spreading his illness. Hasn't stopped him training with Saints though. Getting the impression that Shaw is at the moment a very fragile young man who needs wrapping in cotton wool most of the time. It will probably pass off quickly enough as he gets older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchardsaint Posted 15 October, 2013 Share Posted 15 October, 2013 Any chance Boruc might just clatter Rooney tonight? Qualifying chances over and playing utd Saturday. If anyone would do it, Boruc would. Yes please. Rooney off, Lambert on and show them how to do it! I wasn't sure about boruc when we first signed him, but by Jove I really rather like the chap now!

Jack Posted 15 October, 2013 Share Posted 15 October, 2013 Wayne Rooney looked dangerous tonight, got to keep him quiet on Saturday. I had 2-0 Rooney and have lumped the profit on Saturday's game, split evenly between the draw and a Saints win. C'mon lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenSaint Posted 16 October, 2013 Share Posted 16 October, 2013 It wont happen but id drop Lambert for one of Cork/Davis/Jwp so we dominate the midfield. Pity we don't have anyone with raw pace, after watching England in the last 2 games, Townsend did really well i thought and its the only thing that we lack.

Cabrone Posted 16 October, 2013 Share Posted 16 October, 2013 That was a lovely goal, classy pass and an equally classy finish. Ossie's going to plunder a few prem defences before the season is out. He really is a top finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make a bold prediction, if we have to play KD we will lose. I personally would place more faith in Toni Jimenez and he hasn't played for about 9 years.

SuperMikey Posted 16 October, 2013 Share Posted 16 October, 2013 Can only see this going 2 ways - we thump them, or they thump us. What with Rooney being on fire for England last night and United starting to get into their stride, I think we will be in for a very tricky game. ---------------BORUC---------------- CLYNE----FONTE----LOVREN----SHAW -------WANYAMA---MORGAN--------- S.DAVIS------LAMBERT------LALLANA --------------OSVALDO-------------- Subs: K.Davis, Chambers, Yoshida, JWP, Cork, Ramirez, JayRod Jay's maybe a little unlucky to miss out on the Starting XI for this one after his good display from the bench against Swansea, but we need somebody who can provide fresh legs up front - starting Rickie, Dani and Jay would mean a lack of strikers on the bench (unless you put Guly in there).

ericofarabia Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 I was lucky enough to be back home for the match last year at OT, and even though we lost, it didn't feel like it. 2000 Saints Fans completely outsung The Plastics, and the Players on the pitch did us proud. Mental celebrations when we went 1 up early doors, even if it didn't last long it made the trip worthwhile!! Pity we couldn't make any of the other 20 odd goal attmpts count. The weirdest thing for me was seeing stall holders near the ground selling 50/50 Man Utd / Saints scraves. WTF is that all about? Please please please do not act like a tourist and buy such a crappy piece of tat.

farawaysaint Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 Very nervous that Boruc will be out.

John Boy Saint Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 Quite a surreal feeling about this game, there is no pressure on us as we are just little Southampton next in the Cannon Fodder line at Old Trafford. To Football pundits and Man U fans we are a nailed on 3 points so the boys just need to go up there and relax as there is nothing to lose. However a Ron Davies'esk 4 goal haul from the strikers would be a bit nice............... About the right length of time has elapsed for a Hollywood remake of an old Classic.

Saint Charlie Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 For me there is pressure. If we are genuinely a top 8 side then we have to go there and look to ger something. They arent playing well. However an injury in the one area we have no adequate backup has screwed most chance of a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U - 8/15 Draw - 3/1 Saints - 11/2 they obviously haven't heard that Boruc might be out so if you're thinking of a wager on either the draw or a Utd win get down to the bookies before they realise that with KD in goal 3/1 on the draw is over generous.
