alpine_saint Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 I reckon they could if they played for 90minutes, and we know how The Other Arrogant Beetroot-Faced Bastard in Football loves to put out a full-strength team against us...
SNSUN Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 If we get 5 players sent off, isn't it an automatic 3-0 defeat? I'd take that. :-)
Weston Super Saint Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 To be fair, even their youth team will look like a full strength team against us

offix Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 Can ManYoo reach double figures ? YES! In the first half.
Colinjb Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 If they sent a full strength team unquestionably they could.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 The way we play, I wouldn't rule out treble figures...
SNSUN Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 I will be putting £20 on Man U 5-0 Waste of £20 IMO. They'll easily score more than that if we play like this.
John Boy Saint Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 The Highest scoring professional football match ever, Arbroath against Bon Accord in the Scottish Cup 1885 (note the year). Where Arbroath scored 36 without reply has to be broken some time, and don't say that in modern football that would never happen, only in 2002 Australia smashed a Samoan team 31-0 I believe
stuey Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 I think we will win And Lowe will resign admitting he's got it all wrong and apologise profusely to all Saints fans for ruining our club. Then hand all his money back.....
saint lard Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 Atleast we can claim we got completly hammered by the new world champions,or the world champions reserve side.
Andy_Porter Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 They will take their foot of the gas if it goes past 5 nil and go into cruise control. Can't see it getting embarassing even if they put out a full strength side. Will be interesting to see if any of our players get injured/ill etc before the game and can't play. Wouldn't be suprised to see Davies, Lallana, Euell, Surman, Skacel etc all sit it out to avoid getting cup tied.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 We'll win. I have a feeling. A corner perhaps....
SW11_Saint Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 I've never been more concerned about a total and utter humilation. Of course we're used to the odd 7 goal drubbing at places like Everton, even when we were in the premiership, but the gulf in class between us and United is truly frightening. I actually think we will be worse off it they play their kids - which Fergie is bound to do, no need for a first team vs. us - as they always look to impress and they have an incredible array of talent. It could truly be double figures, no doubt about it, but I suspect it will end up being 5 or 6-1 (the '1' possibly coming first to jerk them into action...).

wadesmith Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 If Saints did win or draw I would seriously question why they can't motivate themselves for CC games.
VectisSaint Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 If Saints did win or draw I would seriously question why they can't motivate themselves for CC games. It would be craziest result, but you can just see it happening, then all the press will laud Lowe and his vision, and won't notice us being relegated to League 1 after we lose to Histon [insert name of appropriate lowest ranked team] in the 4th Round.
OldNick Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 I think we will be hamered and humiliated on tv . It doesnt bear thinking about, I will go with hope in my heart but I dont expect to be there at the final whistle.
saint lard Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 Vidic was sent of today,staight red card,will that still be in effect,i know he misses the first leg against Inter,also Evre will be missing. Not that it will make much difference, will it. Another televised humiliation in the offing.
saint lard Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 Vidic will only miss the Inter match. I was only clutching at straws anyhow.
Leicestersaint Posted 21 December, 2008 Posted 21 December, 2008 6-3 to Saints, as long as we pick MLT in our team.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 22 December, 2008 Posted 22 December, 2008 They will play a second string side, get a 3-0 lead pretty early and declare, spending the rest of the game keeping the ball and generally taking the ****. Anything else would be a surprise. 3-0 to United, easy street.

saint1977 Posted 22 December, 2008 Posted 22 December, 2008 Yes, as they could on their day against any CCC team. On their day they easily score 4 against most the premiership at home, sometimes away. They're the best team in the world, I don't see any shame in losing 4-0, 5-0, 10-0, whatever, we're lightyears behind. What I see shame in, is players not even trying and fighting for the club. I don't care if anyone isn't good enough, that's not their fault, and not our fault we can't afford better, but lazy players not giving their all is disgusting, and that's what I saw yesterday. Typified by DMG of course, who just struts around showing nothing but distain for anyone that cares about the club. What they did to us in 2004/5 was bad enough - 4-0 and it could have been 10 but for Smith. Anders & Oakley got bullied by Roy Keane running on a knackered hip and no knee cartlidge. Bearing in mind that even a post-cruciate Oakley and fading Anders are light years ahead of anything we have now, it doesn't bear thinking about. I agree that some of the lads weren't trying on Saturday. Surman needs to be dropped as he's mentally already elsewhere and his pathetic bottling of that challenge was directly to blame for the 2nd goal, albeit beautifully finished by Garner. Shame, as he's looked better until the last month or so when the window has been looming. Lallana is struggling in this side, he needs a monster alongside him to help him win the ball and some space. Morgan S is a good long-term prospect but not for the present situation. McGoldrick wouldn't get a game in the Conference - honestly, he's that bad. Did Rupert really think when offering the prat a 3 year deal that a ratio of 0 goals in 19 appearancesor Port Vale was going to cut the mustard? He couldn't even score returning to Notts Co on loan when they were at the bottom of the entire Football League! Rupert has made too many mistakes since returning, his judgement is appalling, if the club was run professionally he'd be getting removed at the AGM but Askham and pals have made so much money out of him the muppets won't vote against him and King Muppet Wilde loves having Rupert as a fans' scapegoat, which is the only reason Lowe is there. It certainly isn't for his talent, leadership or decision-making!
lordswoodsaints Posted 22 December, 2008 Posted 22 December, 2008 why dont the club put every penny on a manu win,the odds will be sh1t but it is more or less a dead cert,it is a good way to raise some funds.:-)
Runaway Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 There is no way that Man U will play their first team against us... I think it's clear that they could smash the current Saints side with the reserve squad, so I doubt we'll see any big names. We'll still lose 6-0.
brightspark Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 Setanta have had a record of showing some surprises so far this season. The last 4 games shown: Barrow 2-1 Brentford Histon 1-0 Leeds Kettering 2-1 Notts County Blyth Spartans 1-0 Bournemouth Despite this and the general 'magic of the cup', I doubt even Albus Dumbledore could conjure up a spell that will turn our dutch style misfits into worldwide heroes. Prediction: Southampton 0-4 Man Utd (tevez, scholes, tevez, welbeck)
trousers Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 I assume Poortvliet will change his formation/approach for this game....i.e. switch to a defensive 5-4-1 formation in an attempt to secure a draw and a replay at Old Trafford ? It would be financial folly to stick with 4-3-3 in a blinkered loyalty to playing pretty football in defeat. Surely?
Frank's cousin Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 Who gives a feck what they score - support the fecking Saints FFS and get behind the side
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 I predict Ronaldo and Rooney to score 8 goals each. Sir Alex ferguson will also kick a football boot really really hard at wooperts stupid red forking face!!!! (please make this happen)
trousers Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 Who gives a feck what they score I care because if they score more than us we will struggle to make it to the next round
Kadeem Hardison Posted 23 December, 2008 Posted 23 December, 2008 I am a Man United fan from Southampton and think we will score at least 8 past you. I went to the Forest game and you were rubbish. I will be sat in the Kingsland stand with my 4 sons. United!
1976_Child Posted 24 December, 2008 Posted 24 December, 2008 Talking with a mate in the pub about the United game. We both agreed it will either be a complete humiliation, possibly 0-12 or a really dull game ending in 0-0. What it won't be is a regular sort of score line like 1-2.

sadoldgit Posted 24 December, 2008 Posted 24 December, 2008 I reckon they could if they played for 90minutes, and we know how The Other Arrogant Beetroot-Faced Bastard in Football loves to put out a full-strength team against us... As ever Alpine, a little ray of sunshine and hope....... .......... but I reckon 6 would be a fair bet.
