One good corner from JWP please.

they are massive. looks impossible to score from a corner.

[Saint_clark]

Romeu shit himself there and played the pass too early.

[obelisk]

Romeo's touch has been poor all game.

Indeed, need to be working on near post flick ons and pacy corners to the edge of the box.

[Viking Saint]

Romeu's touch lost it twice there... 

[Suhari]

Tino looks knackered now.

Played well though.

[Chez]

Romeu nosebleed.

The one piece of class today 

[trousers]

Lingard coming on.. hope he hasn't read the script... 

 

[Saint_clark]

Adams was in behind the defence there but KWP bottled it and cut back inside to play it backwards. Fuck sake.

hell yeah. attacks better than our wide men. Full of skill, pace and adventure.

The pitfall of playing a right back on the other side I guess

we can coach that out of him im sure.

[BotleySaint]

Ah.. wish they'd just put us out of our misery already. Inevitable utd breakaway goal coming..

[Viking Saint]

Has Tino played LB??

makes him look poor, which is unfair.

Should still be able to hit it forward with the outside of his right foot. 

[Chez]

good workrate from Armstrong

[Mr X]

This is gonna hurt, though we have got lucky with a deflected own goal 

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck, shit throw in AGAIN!

[skintsaint]

Whatever happens a bit better than last week.

[Norm]

What happened to the 0-5 or 0-6?

There’s was luck too, mishit and unfortunately we put a sack of spuds in the #1 shirt.

Ssshhh... There's still c.6 mins left including stoppage time!

[Mr X]

At least no rugby score 

[Saint_clark]

Pogba you cunt, that was intending to hurt him.

Would say a lot better. Lot more fight, backbone and character shown, and if AA had taken his chances, we could be winning this... 

[BotleySaint]

Good chunk of Fergie time that

[OttawaSaint]

Adams has played well today.

Yep, proper Keane challenge

Ralph changed formation / tactics / reacting in game and we don’t get a pasting… who’d have thought it aye.

We are all just waiting for it..

give it a rest. 

[adrian lord]

Blow up ref

[skintsaint]

[trousers]

Full time. We got a point!! Huzzah!

[OttawaSaint]

Much better from Ralph. Making changes, tweaks etc.

in the end a point is good but a little unlucky not to win 2-1. AA will want both those chances back.

[obelisk]

Well played Saints. That'll do but disappointed not to nick 3 points.

[BotleySaint]

Can't believe it. Didn't see it coming.

Ralph actually made subs when it mattered.

[skintsaint]

Will take that all day long, much better lads!! Didn't think we were going to get anything, had me briefly at Saints winning on my birthday....but no 😅

[Wade Garrett]

Excellent performance.  Loads of character.

[SNSUN]

That is a hell of a point. Very pleased with that, well fought against a very good Man Utd team.

 

A good base to go to Newcastle and get a positive result.

[HarvSFC]

Better team after we scored up to half time and the better team after they scored. Shame about the weak goal conceded, but we’ll take it.

[Mr X]

Could be a vital point that

Yep credit where credit is due

[Sunglasses Ron]

Well I’m very happy to see my 0-3 prediction proved wrong. A morale boosting result for our fans!

[Kingsland Codger]

Very well done to our boys fantastic point.

 

[Jimmy_D]

Good performance, decent result, could have won!

[imadirtyurchin]

Good point. Pity not to win - most importantly much better game management from Ralph and use of subs. Encouraging. 

[Chez]

fair play saints. They murdered us early on, but we rode our luck, dragged ourselves into the game and got our goal. Second half was better, and if Armstrong has taken his chances we'd of won. Very good point considering the opening games. Happy with that.
