FT Southampton 2-3 Man Utd

[Ian Royal]

Poor Saints.

[windermere_royal]

Poor Saints.

its going to be hard for us and them, fooking brilliant to see their crowd deflated.

[cmonurz]

Well, that Van Persie was just a flash in the pan, wasn't he.

[winchester_royal]

Happiest I've been to see United score since Barcelona '99

[Albert Spangler]

Poor Saints.

its going to be hard for us and them, fooking brilliant to see their crowd deflated.

Much better seeing it live

TBH if I could see a third team to go down other than us, I'd fancy them to stay up. I rate their style and Adkins. Fingers crossed West Ham, because it just isn't going to be a second season where all three stay up again.

[No Fixed Abode]

So please United won that - mainly because S'ton fans were singing "We support our local team".

[sandman]

RattLOLed.

[No Fixed Abode]

Also predicted United would win if they put Scholes on and RVP would notch again after that shite penalty.

DiscombobuLOLated.

[Avon Royal]

No newly promoted team has ever lost their first three prem games and stayed up.

rattLOLed to the max!

[Victor Meldrew]

Saints still playing with the same two centre-backs as when we put 3 past them last season.
We are playing the two centre-backs that Peterboro (bottom of the Championship having lost all 4 games)put two past and Chelsea put four past.
Promoted clubs just don't prioritise that key area and year after year keep the same centre-backs (Wolves were the same) and end up getting badly punished.

[LUX]

I'm afraid I was wanting the glory boys to win aswell, RR, for the reasons you suggest.

Far prefer Saints normally, of course.


And LOL at Cmonurz ("it's only 3 games gone") lowering his sights for the Mighty Reds already. Apparently they might get an Europa league place

[Royal Rother]

You read too much into my post.

I didn't want Southampton to win necessarily, I just didn't mind who won. It's too early in the season to let concerns about relegation issues impact on enjoyment of a football game.
