Match Day Thread Manchester United vs Southampton EFL CUP Final Sunday 26/02/2017 Kick-Off 4:30PM

I certainly could get used to it... not sure how my bank balance will like it though

I'll have someone to go with in a couple of years too

 

OK. I've now checked that all's right outside of Trump's world. I'll go back to bed. Night TLL.

 

Morning TSS



(night shifts for me!)

 

Oh you'll be a blubbering mess inside when you take him to his first game! I still remember my lads first games at st Mary's and his first two away trips (6-0 win at wolves and 1-0 at Norwich to send us into play off places).

Leicester home game a couple of weeks back he was sick and I travelled alone. I couldn't believed how much I missed him, especially in the car. Sharing your club with your son is a very special thing. He was 8 for the JPT and 15 for this one - it's going to be a special memory


COME ON YOU SAINTS!!

 

"If" ???? With you in London for 10am you'll hardly remember the game!!

 

Slow n steady is the order of the day, well until we win anyway

I won't start drinking until around lunch time anyway, probably.

 

Carroll bullied Yosh and Stephens, as well as Cedric really. They have a tall team particularly if Fellaini plays, oh to have VVD to dominate in the air. Though I remember a few times Yoshida coming up against tall strikers and had them in his pocket. Standing start jumps I fancy him, but, in other instances... Stephens I would guess at about 6 foot maybe 6, 1.

Pack the midfield though with the same formation as against Liverpool, as United will try and play through us. Then hope Bert and Cedric do their jobs if they get isolated.

 

That was an extremely unconvincing use of the word probably

 

In that case I apologise for my comment.

 

Saints have flown from Hurn this morning Flight number TOM8156 Boeing 737-8 G-FDZU - to Alicante

Gross talking about the benefits of the training camp.

Sounds like rude conversations

 

Apology accepted. I probably forget that things you think come out differently in print. Good job I'm not a journalist, I'd be on the Trump hit list! Allegedly your honour. Note to self~ remember the blue print option.

 

I think everybody is on Trump's list, until they pass his skewed criteria.

 

Does anyone know what parking is like at Richmond ncp? Thinking of parking there. Too much traffic going into greater London?

 

Reminder England are playing Italy at Twickenham on the Sunday.

 

Yeah I'd be avoiding Richmond...

Oriol previews the Cup Final.

 

Does Oriol have a cold? Nose looked a bit red, a few sniffs.
Better this week than next, if there IS illness in the camp.

 

I have a solution for dealing with Zlatan.
We need to be the team that walks across the other, for pre match handshakes.
By the time 11 players have trod on his feet, he won't be match fit.

But on a serious note, I'm wondering what game plan Claude will go with.
I loved the way we got in Liverpool's faces, at SMS, and attacked them, which given the way we had previously played against them in the league was a surprise for me.
But I also loved the way we set up at Anfield, and forced them to try and go round us, owing to having the centre tied up. The major difference, though, is that Utd have an aerial threat, that Liverpool lack, so forcing them wide could still benefit them.
I'm hoping that Sims will be rewarded for his part in Long's goal, and have a place on the bench. You never know, he may need to repeat it.
