I didn't watch the game but they seem to have done very well to fight back today. If it had stayed as it was at HT they would have been looking at 1 point and a -8 GD after 5 games. As we know from last season, failing to get the points on the board in the early season will result in a season-long struggle.

2-2 now.

No. He could have controlled it. Unlikely I know, given the pace of the ball and the general lack of quality throughout the Utd team, but we'll never know.

Watford 0-2 down at HT. Looks like they are in for a long, hard season.

They're currently 3-1 up against Everton.

Would be a bit harsh to drop Boufal after his performance yesterday.

Quite. It's amusing reading that thread from their forum complaining they had the better chances and should have won. The only really clear chance they had was when McGoaldrought got away from JV but fluffed his shot and made it easy for Gunn. Their keeper made the best save of the match from Adams' header in the first half. And his earlier shot against the post was really unlucky, cos he hit that superbly. His goals will undoubtedly start to come soon.

His arm was out in a very unnatural position and it prevented a clear scoring opportunity as without the touch off his arm the ball would have fallen to the attacker at the back post. Agree about that corner though. That was bizarre. Long deliberately let it go out because the last touch quite clearly came off the Utd player.

Yeah just seen that on MOTD. Absolutely baffled that VAR didn't overturn that. We would rightly be fuming if that was the other way round.

They were a joy to watch today. Boufal's skill was constantly wrong-footing the Utd defence, and Djenepo's solo goal was a thing of beauty. More please fellas.

BTW - that "John Westwood is a paedophile" song? Have a word with yourselves lads FFS. Childish and pathetic.

He was dreadful today. I remember one occasion where a ball was played out wide and it was quite clearly his to win, but he just didn't even attempt to get his head on it and they got in behind with ease. I can't comprehend how someone as tall as he is manages to get beaten in the air so easily. His general alertness and decision making was very poor. Not a good performance at all.

Yeah that's probably more likely actually. Hoj did a decent job at LB in a 4 last time out, but he's probably not suited to the more attacking wing back role. Would much rather have him in the middle with Romeu.

Has Maya ever played LB before? I expect it will be 3 CBs with Hoj at LWB.

They are industrious but very limited in terms of quality. Speaking to a few Blades fans at work, they are in no doubt they will struggle this season, but are rightly looking at this as one of the games they should be winning if they want to stay up. So actually there is already some pressure on them. If we put in the kind of performance like we did for the first hour against Burnley then we will have a good chance of getting at least a point. Their defence is quite solid, but they are very lacking up front. Having said that, if Billy Sharp gets on the pitch at any point then he's pretty much guaranteed to score. I'm predicting 1-1.

Thank you for coming to our rescue in our hour of need Leon. The last ten years might have been very different had you not stepped in and kept us afloat out of your own pocket. A true Saints legend. RIP.

Is this streamed live anywhere?

What document?

This is blatantly untrue. Of course it was all 'worst case scenario'. You'd have to be monumentally thick to believe that those projections were anything else. Who was saying it was all fact? And who would be stupid enough to believe that anybody actually knew exactly what would happen anyway? I agree with mrfahaji that the official remain campaign did overdo it with the negative projections, and instead should have focused more on the positive benefits of retaining our membership. But for you to re-write history and claim they were stating it as absolute fact is disingenuous at best.

Aaah, OK. Gotcha. Would have helped if some other people present had called in to Talksport after the interview to put over the other side of the story I suppose.

So are you saying you would accept his word over that of numerous people who have testified they witnessed him shouting foul-mouthed abuse at Saints fans and generally acting like a total bell end outside the ground?

Has he ever made any donations to the Tory party, perhaps? Just wondering.

Beattie and Lallana might have been a bit 'Billy big boll*cks' from time to time, but they both generally came across OK. Vardy is a different matter entirely. He strikes me as someone who would sooner stick a bottle in your face than shake your hand if you bumped into him on a night out. I would have found it very difficult to support him if he was in a Saints shirt.

Of course it wasn't. If you take the outright xenophobia and anti-immigrant emotion that the likes of Farage deliberately appealed to out of the equation, remain would have won the referendum by a landslide.

Weren't we supposed to be on the verge of signing Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood before he went to Leicester? I'm very glad that didn't happen. Yes, he's an accomplished PL goalscorer. But he's also a c*nt.
