Man Utd 0-0 Saints - Match Thread

[coalman]

There's going to be some proper histrionics now. Ref needs to be strong

[Saint NL]

They're going to appeal for every little thing. Need the ref to be strong today

[Saint_clark]

Arghhh wasted by Walcott.....

Nup not a chance. Also look at the Shaw challenge that was dirty as fuck

 Saints always look worse against 10 why is that? 

[OttawaSaint]

Shit, was that handball by ABK?

[HKsaint]

Tall Paul to replace Walcott after half time 

[Saint_clark]

Alcaraz first touch has gotten feet lazy since the red card. 

Taylor needs to book Fernandes for his nonsense here.

[St. Ciervo]

I thought the league was going to crack down on the teams surrounding the ref. ManU seems to feel entitled to have a go on every call, 50/50 or not.

He will give them something big, without doubt 

[trousers]

Nope, not a handball

[OttawaSaint]

What a team of whining cunts!

Come on Saints, bury them. 

[Ken Tone]

United players surround the ref time after time. Get away with too much

I think I'd agree with that.

[AlexLaw76]

Got away with that to be fair, I would want that at the other end

[Suhari]

Jesus Christ.

They're going to get a penalty today. Almost certain.

[Disco Stu]

We can't handle 10 men.

[Plastic]

Feckin Man U cheats. Running to the ref for everything.

Should to yellow to everyone who isn't the captain. Then a yellow if the captain is Fernandes

[Saint NL]

13% possession since they went down to 10 men.

Prefer they took Rashford off rather than Weghorst 

[OttawaSaint]

Another 2 reds for Utd and we'll have a chance here.

[Brissysaint]

I would 100 percent take a draw right now, that’s a bloody valuable point.

[The Juice]

I, too, would have claimed that at the other end. Lucky to get away with no VAR there 

[Saint Matty 76]

Been fucking terrible since the red, jesus christ.

[adrian lord]

We have gone to pieces after the sending off. 

[davefizzy14]

Embarrassing that they whinge about everything. Hopefully we come out 2nd half and get in front and make the extra man count. COYR

[Mr X]

Most other teams can start to dominate 10 men not us 

[Suhari]

Was Mad-Nate right about playing against 10?

Need to regroup at half time 

[sydney_saint]

What a bunch of whingeing cunts. The three big calls the ref has got right.

1. Red card. You don't go studs up anymore. You do that, you risk getting sent off

2. KWP got the ball

3. Didn't hit ABK arm

It's not cheating... It's pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable. I wish will did it sometimes rather than being passive all the time

[adrian lord]

Half time. Sort out the jitters Rueben 

[coalman]

United will blow themselves out. Their sense of entitled outrage won't last.

[OttawaSaint]

Why do we always go to pieces when playing 10 but when one of purs gets sent off (Leicester game a few years back aside) we get totally overrun and beaten easily?

Come on lads, pretty obvious that they've just been fired up by the perceived injustice of the ref not capitulating and giving them everything they want. Let their adrenaline run out and we'll see what happens second half. 

Surrounding the ref at half time now too. Cunts.

[Disco Stu]

Theo off for Stuart please.

[AlexLaw76]

Regardless of their penalty shout for handball, nothing will come close to McTomminay juggling at St Marys earlier this season

[Manuel]

Get them down to 9 men and we might just pinch something here…

[Saint NL]

Ref will be reminded at half time to give United a couple of penalties 😥

[benjii]

One of our best 45 mins of the season and we really should have scored a couple.

Walcott having a 'mare on the ball. Get Stuart Armstrong on at half time. Also, we should be winding up Martinez as much as possible.

Agree with the ref on all 3 calls but I think it did marginally hit ABK's arm. I think he got away with it because he slipped.

Exactly that. That was an utter joke that we didn't get a penalty for that earlier in the season.

[st alex]

Don't know how Fernandes has avoided being booked, he's right up screaming in the ref's face constantly.

And Anthony I think telling the ref to book Perraud.

Expand  

Three factors on that one, not an unnatural position, not intentional and doesn't affect the play as if it didnt hit his arm it would have done to his feet anyway.

I like Theo: he's turning back the years somewhat. Just not today!

Getting Stu on instead would be a good move. Bet it'll be Moi....

[Scoobysaint]

Need to get some pressure on Martinez in the second half and exploit his yellow card. Use the half time to regroup and work out strategy for playing the ten. If you’d have offered 0-0 at halftime and then down to 10 we would have all jumped at it. Hope we stay positive and push on. 

[Sfcphilc]

Not going to get a much better chance to win at Old Trafford than now. I'd go all out for the 3 points tbh. We expected no points at the start of the game, so why not have a go? 

[The Cat]

Excellent first half. Some great performances from our players and fair play to Taylor for not falling for their incessant moaning. Absolutely hilarious to hear their fans moaning because they aren't getting decisions.
