Bucks Saint Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Stupid woman sports presenter on BBC Breakfast reported that WHU have gone 3rd, but United can overtake them with a win tonight. No mention of Saints, who can do the same with just a draw. Blatant media love-in for the 'big' clubs. Yep saw that, all part of the love-in broadcast live from the Man City Campus.

Professor Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Stupid woman sports presenter on BBC Breakfast reported that WHU have gone 3rd, but United can overtake them with a win tonight. No mention of Saints, who can do the same with just a draw. Blatant media love-in for the 'big' clubs. It is impossible for WHU to be third after the Saints/Man U game, whatever the result. Might have been too complicated for the BBC researchers to work out or as Badger says, for the media, the only interest is in teams from three cities - London, Manchester and Liverpool. I imagine that everyone on this forum knows that if:- Saints win, Saints go 3rd by 2 points; Man U win, Man U go 3rd by 1 point; Draw, Saints go third on GD.

SNSUN Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Got £40 on a United win. Yep. Hate to say it but also got a bet on Utd to win. If Saints win, i go away from St Mary's happy as larry, although a lot skinter than I am now, a draw would be a good result, and I don't win/lose any money. United win, and I go away from St Mary's gutted, but with my Christmas paid for. I'll be more than happy to be skint tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadhall Saint Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Their away support is immense. Like someone else said, helps that they win a great deal. But even so, arsenal and chelsea fans (on their travels) are not even close to the united away support Nothing new there tho is there? Always had good away support for as long as I can remember.

Wes Tender Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 No doubt we'll respond with a few rousing renditions of gems like "we support our local team" (sung with gusto by people travelling up from Dorset) and "do you come from Manchester" (which the answer is invariably "yes" when it comes to their away support). Seriously I hope we are up for it tonight, night game under the floodlights against the Mancs should be a cracking atmosphere! Really? Then why are their coaches outside the ground from such diverse suburbs of Manchester as Milton Keynes, Taunton, Haywards Heath, Margate, etc? Give Manchester City their due; all of their away coaches came from Manchester proper or near enough, when they were here the other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Bob Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 3-1 to Man Utd. They will go 2-0 up by half time. We'll come out all guns blazing in the 2nd half and pull one back. We'll then press for an equalizer and get hit on the break for 3-1 in the last 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 On the plus side guys, we will absolutley go for them just due to Koeman. He will want to beat LVG more than anyone else in football I imagine. Add to that the fact that the pressure is off us due to all the injuries, and the fact that the team will have a point to prove after city and especially arsenal. I think we will batter united stats wise tbh; comfortable game with the score to flatter the mancs some degree... We need some positivity on here. 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 We got to 2nd/3rd on the basis of form against teams likely to finish 6th-20th. A similar run after these tricky fixtures would keep us right in the mix. I think it's absolutely correct to say that this - for the fans if not the squad - is the sort of game that can be taken as a 'bonus'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even so, arsenal and chelsea fans (on their travels) are not even close to the united away support They used to have great away support. It's now very much "sing when you're winning" which is a shame. Still better than most, but nowhere near what it once was Bizarrely their home support was much better last season, probably because the majority realised the early season abuse of Moyes was an embarrassment and needed to be drowned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Toby playing would be a massive boost, regardless of whether its in midfield or (preferably) at the back. If he is fit would rather see him at CB, although I suppose you can argue better to play Yoshida there than disrupt the defence if Toby can't last 90. In any case, think it's time Reed was given a big chance. He's more defensive than Morgan or Jack do would be interesting giving Wanyama licence to get forward more until we're a couple up, then he can help park the bus ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 I see some of the media are preparing excuses for an eventual MU defeat, by citing all their injuries, but let's face it with their wealth /squad size they ought to be good enough to match us. Van Gaal will need to make sure they leave " their grey shirts " back home at Old Trafford. ...of course, even with our forced substitutions we can still beat them. I'll go for a narrow win.

SNSUN Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 I tip Van Persie to shine tonight despite his poor form. His hat trick against us in the season after promotion was gutting when we should've got something out the game. Wanyama is our key player tonight to counteract United ' s attack. He doesn't need an early yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 Lunched in Oxford Street today Mrs Koeman in restaurant with seven of her family/friends so our Dutch supporter contingent will be significant tonight.
