Article: Manchester United v Southampton match thread | Southampton FC, Football

Not sure what we will all do if that happened. What could we moan about?

 

2. Over Chelsea's. Yes, I noticed that on late Saturday night while pining for the absence of a football match I might care about. Think I actually watched a bit of the Graham Norton show as a remedy. That was an error. So, in desperation, I looked at the PL table and noticed the same thing. Quite simple really.

 

Not being convincing enough in the win? Just scraping it, and ManU really deserving at least one, if not all the points?

I think I could find a little moment to whinge about. Let Saints put me to the test, I say.

 

It might be tough but I know some people on here would rise to the challenge. No names, no pack drill, but we'd probably all come up with the same shortlist of people who could drag out a negative.

What would make me laughter if we didn't actually play that well but still came away with the win

 

Best time to be negative is after a win

A wise man once said, "don't get too high when you win and don't get too low when you lose", after all.

 

Moderation in all things PTF

 

A wise man also said that whatever happens, "We'll draw a blue line under it, and move on" (I never did like the blue line bit).

The best advice I can give to playing Man Utd is to remember "Hard work beats talent, if talent doesn't work hard"…oh hang on a wise man one said that too

 

I've calmed down since last week's over optimistic prediction so would like to revise it from 0-8 to Saints please to 1-7 to Saints.

 

Seeing as this is Manchester United, and it's at Old Trafford, I'd imagine we will get some HD feeds for this one.

 

Well now... now that international thingy [featuring two of our players who didn't get onto the pitch, hence it was limited in its excitement value] is out of the way, onto to the big match.

Slightly interesting statistic is that both Welbeck and Carrick took a knock. What a shame. I do like an opposition at full strength, otherwise the excuses are straight in there.

 

What we need to do is win a game of football. Hang on...

 

Oh and if we do win 1-7 I promise to keep a hold of my joy and still analyse how well we didn't play and our weaknesses/failing on and off the pitch.

 

I'll be on a train so it's good old not606 updates for me.

 

I don't care if we win because ManU went down with food poisoning and we played their third stringers.

 

Carrick would be a big loss. I think midfield is where we can win this. Morgan and Victor rule!

 

I enjoyed this preview greatly: http://metro.co.uk/2013/10/16/can-t...sers-when-they-clash-at-old-trafford-4147880/

 

Really like the last sentence.

 

Havent seen anything abiut Man U injuries. Anyone seen an update?

 

Give Nicola a chance! He's still briefing the hit men, so the unexpected injuries haven't happened yet.
