This Weekend's Fixtures (10/11 Jan).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nugent. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guzan didn't do the Superman punch; dissapointing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a volley from Nugent. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Konchesky. :bow:

His next display of talent is due for 2024.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just hit it Ulloa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cissokho is a dog of a player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

Horrific challenge from James though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's Valencia - Inter all over again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great to see a goal from an indirect freekick in the box. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pulis' laugh. :yikes:

[Syn]

Another Pulis chuckle.

Can't wait to hear that on vine over and over again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Andy's goal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a challenge from Corporal Jenks! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Noble. :doh:

Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great strike Jenks.

[Syn]

Great strike Jenks.

:lol:

Where the fuck did that come from. Wouldn't dare try that over here.

He's known as the talented, foreign one in the east end. White boots next week.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willingness, power and pace.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Where the fuck did that come from. Wouldn't dare try that over here.

Fat Sam lets the flair players do their thing.

[Syn]

Will Buckley, Ross Barkley, Jack Grealish and Connor Wickham are the same player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barton, Dennis and Burt are in the studio for MotD2 Extra.

Barton. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barton defending QPR playing pub football as though playing 'expansive' football means a surefire way of going down.

Fairly sure QPR are in the relegation zone.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

"They thought they could get Barry Bannan on the ball"

Jesus that's a poor strategy.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I don't like that Barton isn't talking utter shit every sentence.

"Lehmann did very well for a whale" :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ah there we go.

Fucking Einstein.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barton the philosopher. :lol:

I wish WUMger would stop being a berk so at least the criticisms we get won't be the same ones on every fucking programme.

[adzzzbatch]

COME ON SOUTHAMPTON :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Shaw, Carrick, Di Maria, Blind, Mata, Rooney, van Persie.
Subs: Evans, Ander Herrera, Fellaini, Valdes, McNair, Blackett, Wilson.

Southampton: Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Steven Davis, Ward-Prowse, Elia, Pelle.
Subs: Kelvin Davis, Gardos, Long, Tadic, Isgrove, Reed, Targett.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off Utd. And such.

[Globalgunner]

Man United to get into the premier league mix today,,,,,and go on and win it of course. Pundits will be overwhelmed with ecstasy if so,

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clyne goes for goal, across goal it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible control from Shaw.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria fires some cross/shot kind of thing, goes out of play anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shut up Tyler. Maybe he was sat closer to the exit than De Gea on the coach.

[Master Splinter]

Di Maria fires some cross/shot kind of thing, goes out of play anyway.

Those are usually assists.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata looking for the Hollywoodiest ball of all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alderweireld is injured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP gives Phil Dowd the ball, by aiming it at his guts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria shoots, out of play it goes.

Gardos on for Alderweireld.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forster for England!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbie Savage: How great it is for two teams third and fourth in the Premier League table to see so many Academy products in both starting line-ups.

Er...what academy product does Man Utd have starting?

[Master Splinter]

Robbie Savage, BBC Radio 5 live at Old Trafford

"How great it is for two teams third and fourth in the Premier League table to see so many Academy products in both starting line-ups."


There's one academy product playing for Southampton and precisely none for United.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia diffuses an otherwise dangerous attack.

[Globalgunner]

There's one academy product playing for Southampton and precisely none for United.

1 is enough for Savage apparently.

[Niall_Quinn]

There's one academy product playing for Southampton and precisely none for United.

So that's a lot more than normal then? Point made and made well.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Robbie Savage: How great it is for two teams third and fourth in the Premier League table to see so many Academy products in both starting line-ups.

Er...what academy product does Man Utd have starting?

Well they all came from someone's academy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry debuting on Super Sunday next week. :popcorn:

[Niall_Quinn]

Well they all came from someone's academy.

Or the pub.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well they all came from someone's academy.

:lol:

Undeniable really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Henry debuting on Super Sunday next week. :popcorn:

You ruined the surprise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bertrand booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dive by Valencia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No foul from Shaw?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria. :haha:

Crap cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Handball by Van Persie?"

"A little bit".

Neville. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Di Maria is obviously the best player ever in the history of the universe. But in some ways, Alexis is twice the player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP shot, very good block from Gardos.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some people are trying to use the evidence of his play to say Shaw is an overrated waste of money. Scandalous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria is obviously the best player ever in the history of the universe. But in some ways, Alexis is twice the player.

Yeah but why did Fergie buy Veron?

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - pretty shit by utd. Shrek couldn't even get a pen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria shoots, another one wide.

Dobby. :lol:

Give him a sock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Third and fourth. BLitW.

[Globalgunner]

0-0 HT. The Upwardly mobile United somehow not living up to expectations.

[Niall_Quinn]

Boring shitfest, devoid of entertainment. Apart from that, excellent!

[Master Splinter]

0-0 HT. Third and fourth. BLitW.

Academy showcase.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria is having a stinker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good cross from Elia, Smalling just cuts the danger our nearpost.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pele's header. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wanyama. :haha:

Stick to your strengths.

[Master Splinter]

Wanyama :haha:.

Why didn't Arsenal go for him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jones, dreadful header. Head it down when attacking dummy.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is dire.

[Master Splinter]

100% shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria can't get anything right today, didn't even get a corner there.

[Master Splinter]

BBC:



Manchester United are still struggling to unlock this Saints defence. How long before Louis van Gaal introduces James Wilson?


Wilson, that famous unlocker of defences.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP booked. Scrote.

[Syn]

Southampton were very negative when they travelled to us too. Very nearly bored a point but Sanchez got us a winner. Think its become a proper strategy for them to kill the game.

[Master Splinter]

Di Maria Ozil anonymous again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic. :haha:

No shirt and no shinpads. Impressive.

[Xhaka Can’t]

BBC:



Wilson, that famous unlocker of defences.

If he comes on and scores, you're dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP hauled off, Herrera on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyler warming up for a ROOONEEYYYY moment.

Still 0-0. And still shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elia off, Tadic on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaw off, Blackett on.

An actual academy product!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jones cross, Forster hold it. Nobody making a nearpost run. Or any run actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Southampton, TADIC!!!!

:haha:

And booked.

[Master Splinter]

TADIC!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyler wants robots.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria well and truly hauled off, Fellaini on.

Get it in the mixer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pele booked. Dangerous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carrick booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forster hooks away a fluke cross, Mata volleys it, somehow doesn't go in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davis off, Reed on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata scuffs the volley wide. Went in to ground.

[Master Splinter]

8 minutes injury time even though barely anything has happened?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pele just dropped the Ashes.

[Master Splinter]

Pele you idiot.

[Globalgunner]

Pele you idiot.

Thats no way to treat a legend of the game


Extra extra time for Yoonited, 5 mins instead of 4

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic. :bow:

What a WUM.

Five minutes Fergie Time.

[Master Splinter]

5 minutes.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A minute to go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Southampton, FT!

The title contenders with just a small blip. :bow:

LVG. :haha:

Koeman. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Can Southampton be considered as legitimate top 4 contenders now?

[Master Splinter]

United :haha:.

Title challenge :haha:.

LVG :haha:.

RVC :haha:.

Di Maria :haha:.

Money well spent.

Southampton :bow:.

Koeman :bow:.

[Maestro]

ftw fantasy football points ...Tadic, Clyne and Bertrand.

Saints are no fluke, very organised and tactically astute. Well coached outfit.

[adzzzbatch]

glad united lost :)

[selassie]

Can Southampton be considered as legitimate top 4 contenders now?

Yep, they are a very solid well organised team with a strong core. Koeman has done an amazing job there so far. I personally think they will be up there at the end of the season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neville is about to explode over Alexis I sense.

Justified tbf.

I hadn't even thought about Koeman being poached by Barca. It's possible, Luis Enrique is gone if he loses tonight.

[Letters]

Can Southampton be considered as legitimate top 4 contenders now?

Still not convinced they've got the legs for it.

And luckily their last game is City away thus allowing us to pub team it past West Brom on the last day and sneak into 4th

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The making on Ronaldo. :lol:

No thanks.

And I don't think Southampton can pretty much grind their way to it, I don't think they will fall any lower than sixth though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bionic Mosquito. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sigh, another defeat for Arsenal.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I thought Southampton would have tired by now... then they go and beat United, Arsenal, Everton a get a draw against City. Fair play.

"United's back three can't defend. They keep making errors and I've got no idea how they keep getting in the team. Phil Jones and Chris Smalling have both been there long enough to grab that position by the scruff of the neck, so I can't understand why they haven't. - Savage.

Has the thought occurred to him that they're a little shit?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He usually deals in the obvious too.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Southampton were lucky.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MotD2 is on in a couple of minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kilbane and Barton are in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You can tell Dennis is used to radio commentary, barely any time to pause.

[Munchies]

Di Maria's shots :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I forgot how crap the match was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic. :bow:

Pele with the intended assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata. :lol:

[Munchies]

Mata :lol:

[Munchies]

Mata :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Did he just say Van Gaal signed Pelle when they were at Lecce? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who is Fellarni?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did he just say Van Gaal signed Pelle when they were at Lecce? :unsure:

Don't doubt the genius!

[Marc Overmars]

Is it just me or does Van Gaal come across like a huge cunt when he speaks?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think he comes across as quite charming in the way he is completely dismissive of any question ever asked of him and of anybody else in the entire universe.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What's all this "ringing" bullshit? Man marking, Kevin. Closing down.

Quite a few pundits have started using these weird buzzwords for basic things.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Man Utd are going to challenge for the title. :lol:

That isn't going to fucking happen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barkley for GotM and for England.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Nothing will ever be as good as this GotS

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wellshite. :haha:

Hansen. :lol:

He was robbed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Whelan. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Jeez what an annoyingly good goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He did play a key role in the goal he scored.

[Munchies]

'didnt do much wrong'

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haha Arsenal getting physically maimed is just part of the fun.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Haha Arsenal getting physically maimed is just part of the fun.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thank you Begovic.

[GP]

Alexis is amazingly good

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo needs WD40.

[Marc Overmars]

Alexis praised then canned for not doing it in every single game he plays. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not often you see a piece praising a player after a performance followed by a piece about how to stop said player.

The media presentation of our players some times is just plain weird.

I don't know how you manage to watch this drivel every week man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If I didn't, I would know they would be talking shit but I wouldn't know exactly it was what was said.

Plus I live in hope it may be educational some time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puncheon. :bow:

Spufs. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEY'RE IN THE RELEGATION ZONE!!!!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That is a ludicrous hot dog.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane, Austin, Ings, Gayle, Berahino and Carroll for England.

[Letters]

'didnt do much wrong'

:haha:
Yeah...watched the highlights this morning.
Yes, there was a collision which was neither player's fault but then the orc just shoved him 2 armed into the hoardings and dislocated his shoulder.
But that's fine, it's a man's game, blah, blah.

If he'd done that outside of a football stadium he'd have been arrested for assault.

[adzzzbatch]

Just heard that united didn't have a shot on target in the whole game :haha:

It reminded me of an incident against them years ago, the ball had gone out of play but for some reason one of their knuckledraggers decided to slide in anyway and take out Adebayor's achillies.

Although maybe that one was deserved tbh.

But still, just letting him know he was there. :sleep:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I think they've got worse since Pulis left and Hughes took over.

Not to say they weren't dirty swines under Pulis, but I think they've reached a new level of thuggery and violence under Sparky.
