Also in the same boat - in London but no ticket - would be nice to watch the game with some saints fans!

Stayed off here deliberately for a few hours to calm down as I might have vented my spleen.

Complete and utter disgrace. As others I skim read on the way down comment, we don;t seem to have a game plan. In the words of Alan Sugar on the other side: "so what's your bleedin' strategy? Just hope it works out?" I honestly don't know if we were playing for a nil nil, or hoping to nick it at the end. Absolutely hopeless. Only VVD seems capable. We need to clone him and play him in goal, defense, midfield and attack. Repetitious balls out wide to Bertrand and Cedric, they cross it aimlessly to our front three - 5'4", 5'6" and 5'7" - do we seriously think they are going to get headers in? Park football.

If this was a card game, I'd throw my hand in, miss a turn and start again.

And how much more of this tippy tappy tikka takka possession football can we take? I don;t care we have 70% possession if we only make 2 attempts on goal all game. Fonte will want out, another dozen should be shipped out. Honestly we could be relegated yet this season. Something has to change - the players or tactics. That was like warm beer tonight. Worst I have seen in my 50 years, seriously.

Worst game in fifty years? Do you remember 2009? Maybe should have taken a few more hours before posting.

No they don't. It's now blindingly obvious we don't have the squad depth and when I say depth, I mean depth in quality, not just quantity.

 

3, 4 or 5 players in January would really help with both keeping us where we are in the league and a run in the FA Cup. We haven't become a bad team over night, but without our first 11 firing on all cylinders, we are short on quality to bring on to make a difference.

first sensible post I have read

I was here.

Website says I can only purchase one ticket- does this mean we are near enough sold out or is there an issue that I can get around?

Meh, it's one year and nobody forces you to buy them.

Bizzare comment. Fans pay their hard earned cash for these shirts and expect quality to reflect the price. How long the strip will be 'current' for is largely irrelevant.

I don't understand why everyone is going into meltdown about Chambers? Might just have a cold?

Premier League banter page suggests we are becoming a laughing stock...

Goodness me what a shocking article. I was beginning to get a little bit of the old takeover thread excitement until I read that.

Nevertheless, I expect this thread to be at least 5 more pages long by tomorrow evening.

Cheers Navman, will keep hopes up that he`s ok for next league match and Gaston is ok too

Judging by the images of Gaston's tackle it looks like he will be out for a long time unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong.

Any one get the feeling maybe the players feel like they are coming out from underneath a big black cloud, and the vibe hasnt been right in recent weeks due to events ?

Haha this will get reactions.

HT 2-1 please.

I go to all matches but I left at 3-0. I was tired, cold and hungover. New Year's Day fixtures are always a subdued home atmosphere as most people are recovering from the night before.

This. I stayed till the end, but had little energy to raise my voice throughout the entire match.

Would someone be able to inform me how we shape up at the moment in terms of formation? Where is Lambert playing?

Glad Corky was in instead of Wanyama, I think Hampshire would have imploded if Big Vic and Toure collided.

hahaha made me chuckle

Much, much better in the final 3rd so far.

 

Next half is a big test as that half would have taken alot of energy from already tired players.

 

Great response after going behind, could have collapsed

You do know these players train full time and have a professional level of fitness yeah? It sounds like you are describing a conference south team.

Our play is great to watch today, real sense of pace and urgency going forward. All of the youngsters are playing fantastic, particularly Shaw.

Remember it well. There were massive traffic jams around the city due to an accident, so we missed both of our goals. Came in just before HT only to watch us capitulate completely. Vivid memories.

It is not his ability that is Boruc's problem; it is his arrogant, almost uncaring attitude. I have always felt nervous when the ball has been at his feet.

I really think that unless it is 30 yards or so, JWP should be taking our free kicks. Seems to have better technique and thus the ability to get the ball up and down quick enough to give the keeper some real trouble.

who is the geezer who is greeting all of the players before the two minute mark?

I want United to win later on so we have the chance to go top when we travel to the Emirates! Being top of the prem even for one week will see me satisfied.
