Arizona Posted 4 January, 2009 Share Posted 4 January, 2009 Match Build up on here please. Lallana, Holmes and Surman will all face late fitness tests. MS should be fit. Ryan Smith is fully fit, but doubtful weather he will be risked after a dislocated shoulder. Saganowski will not play. The official line is that he failed to receive international clearance in time. I would personally go with: - - - - - - - - Davis - - - - - - - - James - Lancashire - Perry - Skacel - - - Surman - - Schneiderlin - - - - Lallana - - - DMG - - - Holmes - - - - - - - - Paterson - - - - - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 4 January, 2009 Share Posted 4 January, 2009 Has there ever been a game we've been more fearful of than this one? Even with a weakened United side, if that is indeed what Fergie puts out, we stand to get our backsides handed to us. We haven't won in six games, are playing pretty but meaningless football, and have a defence that lets in goals worse than my new invention, the sieve-condom, lets in fluids. All day my colleagues have been asking what I think my prediction is, especially the United fans among them, and I have been saying that if we keep the score down, we'll have had a result. On an optimistic note, one can only think the players will be more up for it, and ultimately it is just 11 players vs 11 (until Lancashire gets sent off for butting Gary Neville). In addition there's the added aspect of United believing they'll coast this. I can't watch it thanks to work, but even if I was off I'd fear it more than the Haunted Shack I got freaked out in at the funfair when I was 7. If we get a shpanking, work is going to be unbearable tomorrow. Fingers crossed a different Saints team turn up today, w00T and UTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Thomas7 Posted 4 January, 2009 Share Posted 4 January, 2009 Just got a text from a friend who works at Ladbrooks inside the ground that Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez all haven't travelled... with Saints at 9/1 the bookies are apparently quite nervous...

Stu Man Do Posted 4 January, 2009 Share Posted 4 January, 2009 http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={F9E570E6-407E-44BC-800F-4A3110258114}&newsid=6624552&page=1 Thats the utd side of team news. Only mentions he "might not" play Ronaldo but as already known tevez, ferdinand and evra definately not playing. I wouldnt be suprised to see utd with a mix of 1st teamers and youngsters who have already been around the 1st team like silva or wellbeck, with an extra strong bench on the off chance DMG manages to blag us a goal in off his arse! Id go for; Davis James Lancashire Perry Molyneux Holmes Surman Spiderman Skacel DMG BWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 4 January, 2009 Share Posted 4 January, 2009 I would have liked to have seen McLaggon in the XI as I thought he had a blinder when he came on against Reading. I can't see us getting a result at all this afternoon, but Saints, if you are going to lose, please go down with a roar and not a whimper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 4 January, 2009 Share Posted 4 January, 2009 Poor side, very takeable, probably not by us though. By a team with organisation yes, with our mickey-mouse management, no.
