benjii Posted 19 January, 2016 Posted 19 January, 2016 My Manc supporting neighbour(he does watch them when he can afford it) reckons Saints will do them over on Saturday and LVG will be out on Sunday morning.He says Manure are absolutely rubbish at present and lack any motivation.Petulant Rooney is sailing very close to the wind and is unable to keep his trap shut. An assertive Ref won't take any more of his whinging.My neighbour reckons most of their supporters want LVG out. For whatever reason, Rooney's constant whinging is always indulged by officials.
Lets B Avenue Posted 19 January, 2016 Posted 19 January, 2016 Do we know the ref yet? Mike fuc kin Jones.
doddisalegend Posted 19 January, 2016 Posted 19 January, 2016 Do we know the ref yet? Does it matter at Old Trafford .... big team basis will be in full effect
ericofarabia Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 Pubs ? I'm thinking of https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenManchester/ Went here for a few before the city game, screens, good food and a big bar. 5 mins from Picadilly station Any other options The Bulls Head (I think) Right outside Piccadilly Station and Metro. Last Jan they had Ringwoods Boondoggle on, amongst about 5 Real Ales, which was nice Not too keen on large groups or colours, so keep coat done up!! Friendly locals and staff.
igsey Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 Mike fuc kin Jones. Refereed the Chelsea-Everton game at the weekend. Lots of articles about him being lucky not to be demoted. Hooray.

Dr. Kucho Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 Noticed that since Forster is back, Davis has been on the bench. What has happened to Stekelenburg? Injured or returned to Fulham. With our current form I think we could get something from this game.
Saint IQ Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 Refereed the Chelsea-Everton game at the weekend. Lots of articles about him being lucky not to be demoted. Hooray. To be fair the massive call at the end was the linesman's fault
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 (edited) Noticed that since Forster is back, Davis has been on the bench. What has happened to Stekelenburg? Injured or returned to Fulham. With our current form I think we could get something from this game. Injured - calf I think I think we will too. Their defence is a bit dodgy, their midfield ain't all that and their strikers are not really working together so get vvd or VW on Rooney and we have a great chance - certainly not anything to be scared off.

John Boy Saint Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 Injured - calf I think I think we will too. Their defence is a bit dodgy, their midfield ain't all that and their strikers are not really working together so get vvd or VW on Rooney and we have a great chance - certainly not anything to be scared off. [emoji6] And if VW gets a cheap booking get Romeu on sharpish to replace him cos Rooney or that hairy lout will make sure he gets another. Mike Jones looks like a ref who will buckle under pressure from the players and we don't apply any on the refs. That said the Ref's and Lino's normally travel as a set package, after the howler the Lino made for the dodgy equaliser, our defence should be drilled in the Arsenal of Adams and Keown or Bould uniform arm in the air asking the question and sowing the seed of doubt in lino's mind.

Pamplemousse Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 Mike fuc kin Jones. Refereed the Chelsea-Everton game at the weekend. Lots of articles about him being lucky not to be demoted. Hooray. He refereed our 1-0 win at Sunderland, so we know he's not afraid to give penalties to the away side. Could come in handy, considering the home opposition.

farawaysaint Posted 20 January, 2016 Posted 20 January, 2016 united to equalise in 8th minute of injury time then Actually perversely this could be a good thing. He took a lot of criticism and will want to prove he isn't a big/home team ref. He could overcompensate.

SuperSAINT Posted 21 January, 2016 Posted 21 January, 2016 Pelle still struggling with knee injury. Austin will be part of the squad this weekend.

Shane long is not going anywhere this window same for the rest apart from GR. RK will tell them (the press) 80 more times before the end of the window
VectisSaint Posted 21 January, 2016 Posted 21 January, 2016 ** Sky reporter being annoying Klaxon ** Really was a complete knob. That said Ronald does not hide his contempt for these knobs very well. He is a bit *****ly at times.
doddisalegend Posted 21 January, 2016 Posted 21 January, 2016 Pelle still struggling with knee injury. Austin will be part of the squad this weekend. Slightly worrying that Austin, who has been out injured, is really fit compared to the rest of the squad (guess that quote might have lost something in translation) "I was worried because Charlie had a hamstring injury before we signed him but he did all the training sessions this week. Comparing to the rest of the team he is really fit so he can be part of the squad this weekend."

fez Posted 21 January, 2016 Posted 21 January, 2016 Yes he meant that Charlie is as fit as the rest of the squad, not fitter than them. Incidentally "Normally" is one word Ronald constantly misuses (and my nonexistent Dutch or any other non-English language leaves me in no position to complain). As in "Normally he will be part of the team for this Saturday".
Saint-Armstrong Posted 21 January, 2016 Posted 21 January, 2016 @SchneiderlinMo4: Can’t wait to play @SouthamptonFC again this wknd. Great club that taught me so much...

JRM Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 Been reading the match preview pull out in today's Echo and really struck me how United just don't concede at home (and likewise we don't score away) this game looks set to be 0-0 or 1-0 either way, unfortunately De Gea often seems to have a match winning performance against us. What is promising is the teams United have failed to beat at home gives us confidence, drawing 0-0 with Newcastle , West Ham and losing 2-1 at home to Norwich. If it comes down to a game of few chances let's hope for once we take ours, Austin on for last 30 mins to win the game would be the script for me
DT Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 Got a good feeling about this one. 2-1 to the Saints. Set big Vic on Rooney.
trousers Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 this game looks set to be 0-0 Was just thinking the same.
redkeith Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 Do we know the ref yet? I think you will find the Ref is a Mr W Rooney from Greater Manchester, who will be informing the bloke with the whistle about all of the decisions.
Saint_Ash Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 Man U to win is nearly evens, can't remember the last time I saw them at that price at home against Saints. Might have to have a bit on that as a sweetener, 2-3 goals is also at evens. Charlie to come off the bench and score the last goal of the game is 15/2. That's my bets sorted for the game.
Batman Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 for all how rubbish they are, they have been comfortably above us nearly all season and will finish above us a draw would be a cracking result
Window Cleaner Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 for all how rubbish they are, they have been comfortably above us nearly all season and will finish above us a draw would be a cracking result They're not even that bad, the problem is the "fans" have taken ombrage at LvGs style of football which puts winning above all else and not losing close behind that so they are a discontented rabble. Most of them seem to have forgotten just how many games they won in their "glory years" with iffy penalties and other disputable goals in "Fergie" time long after the game should have ended.

Yes but aren't they the most expensively assembled team in PL history? They are not bad but I think people expect more of them then they are delivering grinding out results with dull football isn't what people where expecting. With the talent they have they should be doing far better than they are.

With the talent they have they should be doing far better than they are. They do have a few long term injuries that cost a packet though, even then I'd doubt if they're the most expensive actually, I'd have thought that Chelsea and Citeh at least are by far more costly. Maybe even Arsenal. Not checked any of that though.
Appy Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 for all how rubbish they are, they have been comfortably above us nearly all season and will finish above us a draw would be a cracking result That's hardly a barometer, it's not like we've had a great season.
igsey Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 A win could put us 7th, assuming Stoke (Leicester away) lose and Palace (Spurs home) and Liverpool (Norwich away) draw or worse, which isn't inconceivable. Think it will be a scrappy game with few chances - let's hope we're more clinical than usual. Time for Mane to start scoring again.
