Can we avoid a cricket score at Old Trafford, the battle of good v evil

I may revive the Sotonians bookies thread and put some money on a 2-2 draw

I think it’s going to be a narrower loss than spurs.

Think this is the late kick off?

We’ll fluke an early lead and surrender it rarely as they score the winner in injury time.

Bangkok at night or…

Don’ be silly, I have the boss with me

Not good news from Lawro

Man Utd v Southampton (17:30 GMT)

Getting £75m in through the door for Virgil van Dijk is good business for Southampton but, when they have sold players before, they have always had replacements ready, if not already at the club.

The problem with this sale coming now is that it ratchets up the expectation that they will spend heavily in January, especially because they are in such poor form.

Mauricio Pellegrino’s side have won only one of their past 11 league games, and have scored only 12 goals in that spell, so the pressure is on him to improve things quickly too.

This is not the game for that to happen, though.

You just know Saints are going to go to Old Trafford and camp in their own half, because they did it against Manchester City last month - and almost got a point. Almost.

Lawro’s prediction: 2-0

Apart from the last paragraph it’s almost reasonable.

BTlooselips - please get with the comedy title -Its the only way this run will end. My genius comedy titles yielded 2 games, and 4 points. I appeal to your sense of justice and real desires for a glorious win! :lou_is_a_flirt:

I agree. I cant see us getting anything there but I dont think we will get a spanking.

Ffs I had to scrawl all the way to page2 to find the match thread on match day. What is wrong with you people ???!!!

Woke up feeling strange ly optimistic. On analysis it’s probably the Kelvin Davis effect kicking in.

4-0.

Christmas booze haze I suspect Mr FeO2. I am not sure what I would like more today, wining for 3 points and Saints Glory, or winning just to see that cunt Jose have an even more of a slapped arse face than usual. However,I suspect that he will giving it the usual post match ‘‘Sowt hem tem, wer the team today, we deed not dezerve to ween’’ in his usual patronizing cuntish manner

2-1

That Tadic fella knows where the goal is at OT*, so maybe he should have a go too.

*It would not surprise me if it’s a different shape and size.

Apparently he did try to call Bazza several times but couldnt get through. Some chap call Gao has been on the phone to him all night apparently.

Not sure what he said though.

The Gao’s are desperate to communicate with the fans.

The reason it’s taken so long is that they wanted to do it as an interpretive dance which obviously takes time to put together and learn. I understand that it will be performed in civic centre square at 3.30 am tomorrow.

Happy now Barry?

What will they be wearing?

Nothing. Nakedness is part of the message ‘apparently’.

hot pants.

Might be a little chilly? Suspect we may only see a shortened performance?
