Weekend 10/11 Sep - Other Games

[Batman]

First up, the Manchester Derby

There is bound to be loads of fawning over Liverpools new stand later today on TV

[Saints foreva]

Old firm for me.

 

The Manchester derby lost all its credibility when United fans cheered City winning the league over Liverpool when the results were read out over the PA at St. Mary's a few seasons back.

[Lighthouse]

I understand that. They hate scousers more than people in their own city, they don't want liverpool getting more titles when they're close, and no one wants to see liverpool end their decades old wait for a title.

 

I don't like city one bit but I was delighted when they beat liverpool to the title.

 

I understand it too, lesser of 2 evils and all that. I did have the 'pleasure' of being in the Slug and Lettuce with a bunch of Utd fans before that game. The sang quite a lot, mainly about how sh*t City were, something about Barcelona in 99 and something about Januzaj being the next big thing.

[Batman]

City winning

 

to be fair, they have been miles better than united so far

[Plastic]

Just me?

[InvictaSaint]

Everything that is wrong with the modern day 'supporter' already visible and audible amongst the Utd fans.

[adrian lord]

Pep is a preferable person to mourhino and as a Saint I will always detest Manu more than Citeh. So far so good

[Batman]

with the players city still have to come into the side, hard to imagine they wont win the league.

[Plastic]

City look miles better. No creativity in the manu midfield.

[Batman]

2-0

 

city are ripping them apart.

[Batman]

2-1, Ibrahimovic

 

The keeper made a blunder, you just knew it would happen.

The commentator gets all excited as Ibrahimovic scores

[Plastic]

Hate ibrahimovic, but he is such a high quality player

[benjii]

Hate ibrahimovic, but he is such a high quality player

 

That volley was class but, unusually, he's also missed two good opportunities.

 

Yet, despite him having three good chances, United are lucky to be in the match.

 

It's a funny old game.

[adrian lord]

I wonder what Hart is thinking watching that dodgy keeper

[Saint_clark]

I wonder what Hart is thinking watching that dodgy keeper

 

"I could have done that".

[Plastic]

What the hell is Bravo playing at?

[bpsaint]

That's a red card if it happens elsewhere on the pitch. Bravo has looked absolutely shocking, perhaps shouldn't have thrown him straight into a derby.

[Saint_clark]

One of the more enjoyable games i've seen for a while, still being spoilt by the huge amount of playacting going on. Everyone is screaming and rolling around at every little contact...

[Pass the Dutchie]

Great game at the moment from both sides.

[Plastic]

Agree great game, but Pogba @ 80-odd million looks like shocking business.

[Batman]

city win

very good game. Enjoyed that

 

David Silva is such a great player to watch

[warsash saint]

city win

very good game. Enjoyed that

 

David Silva is such a great player to watch

 

Agreed, the exact opposite of that winging gobsh*te Rooney!

[nta786]

Chelsea losing to Swansea. Football changes in a couple of minutes

[Pamplemousse]

Everton winning. Only bonus is it means we would stay 18th

[SuperSAINT]

Everton winning. Only bonus is it means we would stay 18th

 

God, all of that is so depressing isn't it?

[Pamplemousse]

It would help if the Sunderland defence decided to actually mark Lukaku

[Saints foreva]

*Sigh*

 

We failed to beat this Sunderland side at home.

[Delmary]

Not replacing Pelle will cost us dearly this season.

[beatlesaint]

Everton have a good manager there.....lucky bastards

[verlaine1979]

Did RK just bring on an 18 year old for a run out with 15 mins left? Expert trolling.

[DG]

Imagine having a decent manager and striker. Lucky bastards.

[Saint-Fred]

Imagine having a decent manager and striker. Lucky bastards.

 

Don't forget you can't keep an unhappy striker who wants to leave though as he just won't play for you and will cause unrest in the camp. Lol.

 

Never mind, our current manager IS good but we have been spoiled with two high quality managers in quick succession..we just need to give him time and see how it pans out.

[VectisSaint]

*Sigh*

 

We failed to beat this Sunderland side at home.

 

We were lucky to even rescue a point. But its all OK according to the happy clappers.

[Wade Garrett]

Everton played really well, from what I saw.

[Pilchards]

Good managers drive teams to a higher level, shame we let some of our good ones leave too easily.

[SuperSAINT]

Whoever thought there was a player in Idrissa Gueye

[whelk]

Sunderland are terrible. Can't believe how good we made them look. Still, it's difficult when lukaku has one of his 5 or 6 £40m striker games.

 

Yeah football is like that. They gave City a far better contest than Utd did. Amateur hour.

[The9]

*Sigh*

 

We failed to beat this Sunderland side at home.

 

Hmm, if only we'd had some kind of aerial threat.

[The9]

Good managers drive teams to a higher level, shame we let some of our good ones leave too easily.

 

Is this my cue to point out how good Stekelenburg has been this season?

[whelk]

You fckers should be embarrassing posting.

 

Impressed with Watford were you?

[Gunnery]

Not replacing Pelle will cost us dearly this season.

I bet you were slagging him off big time last season..

[Delmary]

I bet you were slagging him off big time last season..

 

Nope and you're s prat sir

[doddisalegend]

We offered Koeman the best contract ever offered to a saints manager and he told us to **** off he didn't have the balls to commit long term to us much easier to go to an Everton side which could be improved with minimal effort.

Not really. Martinez screwed up there, some other managers might have too. He is a good manager, so he is improving them.

[CB Fry]

Not sure that discounts the point he was making. It's is an easier job to improve a good but underperforming Everton side than to improve an overperforming Southampton. Plus Everton paying him more to do it.

 

Koeman doesn't even need to get them as high as he got us and he'll be a hero this season.

[saint-crinny]

Idrissa Gueye is a lot better than I thought he was. Villa last year could make any player look not very good I guess.

 

Would have been a cracking replacing for Wanyama - he was all action last night and looks a steal at £7m.

Stats had him 2nd in the league behind Kante last season.

 

I would have loved him here.
