Saints 1-1 Man Utd - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

Was hoping RH had had a good long look at the formation and team and would try out a more solid formation to try and limit Utd hoping to frustrate them and get them out of their rhythm.

Instead we’ve rolled out the red carpet for them to come have some target practice without breaking a sweat.

RH is mugging us off, this is fucking bullshit!

[Convict Colony]

In the face of overwhelming doom merchants today i am predicting 2-1 to us.

Walcott and Armstrong goals

 

[hypochondriac]

When I see this team today I think back to the two 9-0 results and how much support and affection Ralph got from the fans. He's been given so much support but I think this could be the time that the fans start to turn on him. Previously we have blamed the players but I think that now it's increasingly clear that he has a share of the blame for this. 

[AlexLaw76]

Hey Matt Le God.

Is bednarek still good enough?

[Mr X]

No KWP again wtf!

He certainly needs to get a result today or this team selection will make for some very disgruntled fans.

Dreading this please please prove me wrong saints!

He won’t post again until Tuesday because when the team are getting spanked he hides because he can’t pull his “ackshualllllly...” and pedantic bullshit on us.

Not only is the personnel selection ridiculous but the two up front formation is utter madness…. 
 

[DT]

Why else would he pick a team like that than he is clearly not up for it or wants to be sacked? It’s criminal.

Really, there's never any need to pay for streams. Flawless ones are always readily available. 👍

Insurance nets of 0v9 and 1v6 on 

[AlexLaw76]

Let alone the same team that captulated last week (walcott was terrible ffs), he goes 442 against Man united!

What is wrong with Ralph?

What is your realistic prediction for the score & game?

 

[badgerx16]

Just to compound the misery, I will be watching whilst working out on my indoor bike.

You say that like a wet fanny is a bad thing. Have you only ever encountered dry ones?

What’s fat Sam’s telephone number?

[niceandfriendly]

How good is it to see fans back in SMS?

Shame it's almost half empty

[Mr X]

Why is Walcott on the pitch?

Seems to like balls too

[striker]

Armstrong has a calf injury supposedly. I don't like the line up either (and didn't last week). No fears though. Long and Valery will come on and save us

[skintsaint]

Unless we bring the A game and get a decent amount of luck this most likely will be 26.....

 

[benjii]

Shit loads of empty seats.

[trousers]

Lots of empty seats around the ground?

[Saint86]

Apparently queues outside the ground are hundred of yards long....

Are saints going to be the only club in the country that cant get home fans in in significant numbers for the first game?

Absolute car crash of a club atm. At least fans won't see us getting spanked.

Hopefully not all still queuing outside for their season tickets , Piss poor really .

[trousers]

Good effort JWP

[OttawaSaint]

Good effort JWP!

edit: shit corner though

[obelisk]

A shot on target already. And then a poor corner.

[Hamilton Saint]

COYS!

 

[OttawaSaint]

Another shit corner.

[trousers]

Typical decent start. Shame there's 87 minutes to go... 

[VectisSaint]

Any sign of the Gorilla in the stands?

We know we can play a decent 45, it’s the 2nd one we suck at.

Oh how they love to build our hope at the start 

[Mr X]

Walcott dreadful cross why does he get a start? 

[Saint_clark]

Good start, no mention of the penalty shout from that corner. 

The kits are confusing my sleep deprived brain, theirs looks so similar to a few of our past away kits and the backs of ours being solid red makes me think the teams are shooting opposite ways. 

[OttawaSaint]

Say Ralph did have a selection headache with KWP/Tino. Why doesn’t he pick both with Tino further forward?

[Saint_clark]

FUCKING WHAT IS MCCARTHY DOING??????????

I'll take a draw TBF

[obelisk]

Defensive shambles.

[AlexLaw76]

LOL, McCarthy

[OttawaSaint]

We were wide open there. Comedy defending!

[RedArmy]

Good to see two defenders trying to take McCarthy out of the game because they know he’s shite 

[Mr X]

God shambles in defence there
