saint peter Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 Interesting view from the opposition (LOL) .... The Match: Dramatic draw as did the huge cheer from the Old Trafford faithful when the teenager’s name was announced just before kick off. Januzaj can take it as a compliment that he received such close attention in further, card-earning challenges from Morgan Schneiderlin and Victor Wanyama. The youngster can mix it as well, getting booked in a tit-for-tat spell in the second half, and he will need to take a deep breath at times despite the provocation that he will undoubtedly experience. Opposition: Mauricio Pochettino’s side started confidently, passing the ball smoothly and getting into shape nicely, flooding the midfield when United had the ball. Overall they looked to be lacking a cutting edge, making their equalizer all the more galling for the Reds. But on this evidence the south coast outfit will be a thorn in a few sides this season. Move of the match: The sublime pass from Januzaj to Rooney showed off the teenager’s talents, and van Persie kept a cool head with Saints defenders desperately trying to deny him. In the stands: The way United supporters rose from their seats when Januzaj received the ball speaks volumes for the impact the 18-year-old has already had. The reaction of the visiting fans to their shock late equalizer was equally telling; prior to that their side had barely tested David De Gea, and they left Old Trafford grateful for a point from their late smash-and-grab raid.

aintforever Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 I see they failed to mention that we had more shots, more shots on target and more possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 A normal well balanced report from a Man Utd fan, he can't be feeling well as he didn't mention the ref not giving them penalties and disallowing any goals that went against them...smash and grab lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting view that celebrating Saints fans is seen as extra special because it was a shock late equalizer and nothing to do to with the pure fact that we had scored?? I always go mental when we score away from home - it comes from many years of watching Saints away and we rarely scored!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 They are such an arrogant club - there time has come and gone - I am going to enjoy watching them moan and groan and become the new Liverpool as they decline over the next few seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 They are currently a mid-table outfit. They should look at the match statistics. We were all over them in the second half AND their goal was offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomer Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 And most of them will have longer trip home than Saints fans its a long way from Manchester to Devon & Cornwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 With their spoilt sense of entitlement they are going to fall really hard. Fergie was a freak and he won't be repeated which is good for the prem TBH. I think they'll go back to the post Busby - pre Fergie Utd which was a decent enough team but not invincible. It's going to be fun watching the implosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graffito Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 Loads of them phoned up 606 moaning about Moyes. Only one of them with a Manc accent (actually he was the only one who was, as they all ought to be, supportive of the manager). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 To be fair to the them i spoke to a few on the way back to the car and also overheard a few conversations and all of them said what a good side we were and how we deserved the draw. Difference between people who go and those who post I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 Over here we get the official TV channels for Arsenal, Spurs, Man City and Man Utd so most of the time I can only see Saints when they play them. TVNZ did show the Liverpool game but they stopped the tape every 20 minutes to show adverts then restarted the tape. The first 3 are of course a bit biased but the commentators on Man Utd are way over the top in bias. Some ex player is quite sickening actually so I have to watch with the sound off otherwise a new TV would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 Watched the game again, Lallana and Schneiderlin were absolutely outstanding. We let them be outstanding at times but they were brilliant. from red cafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 19 October, 2013 Share Posted 19 October, 2013 Red Cafe seem to be much more realistic and down to earth and quite interesting views. There seems to be little "we're going to smash them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
