I am still surprised even now that he was unable to make the step up. Genuinely the best central midfielder I’ve seen play for us in his prime. He literally had it all. Amazing touch, vision, positioning & tackling.

Absolutely dominated games for us in the PL. Then vanished without a trace. Very weird

It's an interesting interview. I'm not sure he comes across terribly well in it - kind of undecided on that. But for us, he was majestic, absolutely. I think he definitely had the ability to make the step up, I just wonder (reading that) if he had the mental fortitude.

I don't think it was an issue with him, more so his choice of club. A fair few great players have failed at United since Fergie left, some far greater than Morgan. Look at Di Maria, a world class player that has won everything there is to win.

I remember him saying how he underestimated the pressure/size/commitment of playing for a club like Man U. At Saints you do your training/analysis at the training ground, maybe a workout in the gym after and off you go. At Utd you do the same thing but then have all the commercial obligations which take just as much time as the football side and it made it harder for him to concentrate on the football side

Interview with Schneiderlin. The basic message is that things went downhill after leaving Saints and that every club says they are a family but thats its bullshit, Saints were the only club that were genuinely like a family.

He regrets leaving United after just 18 months. Also he says he left Everton because of their fans haha.

So many players go on to do f*ck all after leaving us, it is a shame others never seem to take note. Although I suppose for every failing Schneiderlin or Chambers there is a Van Dijk or Mane.

Yeah good point. With Fergie looking after him I bet he would have developed further & as expected?

Wouldn’t have thought so, why not Leicester or Palace? Or maybe West Ham if Moyles goes.

Footy Insider really aren't worth the time of day. Utter garbage and making up ****e.

In fact, someone posted similar on SW (I think) a few hours before and they probably just lifted it from there, and rehashed it as their own.

Yeah, absolutely disgraceful that away fans get turned away from the home end. Honestly.

It sounds slightly unfortunate, 4 Saints fans with a Man City supporting kid.

But you have to be more savvy than that, was it really that hard to not let your kid wear his City jersey in the home end?

Love all the righteous outrage in the comments and tagging of the club in the comments demanding they ‘make things right’, just don’t be an idiot. Bet if it was the other way round the top 6 apologists would be out in force.

With all the problems and closing of blocks I salute this decision. I saw a Newcastle fan get absolutely battered being in the home end. It's home for a reason.

I remember when I went to my first away game on Boxing Day as a 6/7 year old. Was away at Wimbledon circa 1999 I guess and I had been given a Man Utd shirt for Xmas from some family friend. I wanted to wear it to the game the following day but my dad said I’d get stabbed so wouldn’t let me, he didn’t specify by who
