Morning Boys
Glad to be back after having to miss yesterday because of my friend's funeral
Come on United....make the weekend better
United wearing their third kit. I like it
Good morning, Bob and Dave. Here to join you for the matches on the Cock and NBCSN
Not sure OGS changing a starting line up so much after a walloping
Morning David
Why is OG waiting with the new signings?
There is a international break coming up soon.
United trying to equal Arsenal's away undefeated streak going
Good morning, Dave. Good point and the transfer window closing around the start of the break. He needs to pull out his finger
I have United on my TV thru Roku and Tom brought another TV down to watch the other match
Morning, guys - glad to have you board for this one. Come on, United!
They're off from Molineaux then St. Mary's
Well, you didn't need the new signings much last weekend, did you? ;-)
Cheers, Bob. Glad to be a part of what is hopefully a great day of results
Early free kick for Soton - JWP whips one into the near post and De Gea has to push it around the post.
Any win today will put United back on top
Free kick chance for JWP to put into the box
JWP goes for the goal....saved by De Gea
De Gea turns a round a free kick from JWP that didn't look like it was heading on target then an unusually poor corner from JWP goes into the side netting
Not sure about this third strip - it doesn't really say "United." Not sure what is says.
Adam Armstrong wins a corner off of Maguire. Early Saints pressure
United passing it around teh back....and losing it...KNOCK IT OFF
I want last week's effort
In the other match a player down from each team
I like the third choice kit, but don't notice the number 4
United finally get the ball int the attacking half!!
I'll take that, too. Soton are a bottom half side in my scheme of things.
Both players up. The replay showed it was a clash of heads
You are looking at TeamViewer for some bum picture!
United Shaw do win a free kick on his return to St. Mary's
This one has a #4 in it as well?!
Not a very positive start from United
This is like last season
Free kick chance for United...will they put it into the box
Apparently there was some interest at Leeds in Adama Traore at Leeds this summer. That woeful finish shows why I was never keen.
OH Free kick from Bruno headed on to the bar by Lindelof then the karate chopped header off the line by Salisu
OOOOOH.....HOW DID UNITED NOT SCORE!!
Keeper, post, defender!!
More of that, United. That's more like it
Oh - penalty to Spurs! Looks dead cert to me, Dele Alli going over the keeper's leg.
Maguire took it off of Pogba's foot!
VAR checking for a penalty at Molineaux
And it's Dele to take...and he does put Spurs into an early lead!
Dele Alli to take
GOAL !!!! PENALTY SANDWICHED IN BY SPURS THAT FEELS LIKE A KNOCKOUT PUNCH. KEEPER SENT THE WRONG WAY BUT WELL PLACED
Why did OGS play Fred AND Matic?
TOO DEFENSIVE
Don't know what this commentator is talking about, acting like Dele made the most of it. The keeper completely took him out!
Put on the club suit and tie on Ollie!!
I thought it was a penalty despite Delle making the moist of it. Clumsy by the keeper. What was he thinking?
I've just noticed the Spurs kit - revolting!
Are you watching the Spurs match on the telly?
I am watching it on the Spectrum website
Pogba with Shaw did have a shot blocked for a corner off a free kick
Soton just keep on giving up free kicks. They're eventually going to pay for that.
Pogba wins a corner thanks to an illegally driven challenge by Alpha Romeu
Another dangerous free kick from United
Pogba has a shot blocked
COME ON....get one of these in
Pogba Shaw does head over the next free kick
Samedo wants a penalty now - nothing doing. This time the color guy thinks it's a pen! What match is he watching?
Another free kick for the blues
United used to have the away kit of yellow shirts and blue shorts in the George Best time
Wolves want a penalty . That looked a dive and surprised the player wasn't booked
Another dangerous free kick...Pogba should have scored!
United do go forward fast there...keep it up
I like the third kit. When I lived at Lakenheath , United's third kit was all blue and their second as white shirts and black shorts
Fred stinks!
He has space to take...at least he looked forwardish with ball out wide....but passed it start to a Saint
Fred blows another attacking ball
Spurs now third while Wolves just above the drop zone. Wolves will replace Burnley in the drop zone if they go two down
Geez....Fred's passing!! He's Brazilian!!
Don't you wish you could play Leeds every weekend?
Interesting coincidence that Fred scored a rare goal last week in United's first match since Sparky and Fred were reunited
Not sure, Bob. I think that was a fluke Performance at OT. Leeds would be tougher any other week
McCarthy punches away the corner from Mason Greenwood
I just think our freewheeling style suits your attacking style.
I HATE that both matches I am watching are not LIVE!
The Cock is usually fifteen to thirty second behind NBCSN. Not sure how far behind the telly is
Spurs are doing what Spurs do here. Interestingly, these are two sides who both like to park the bus and then hit on the break. Wolves are being forced into playing the role of attacking home side - and they don't like it.
I agree with Bob that Leeds were correct not to sign Adama Traore. He's exciting to watch but really inconsistent and probably wouldn't start many matches for Leeds
Stupid foul by Bruno
Oh - best chance yet for Wolves - Raul with a shot just over the bar.
United try to work out of from the back...get pressured...lose possession...fouls!!
No idea why they are complaining
Free kick comes to nothing
Saints new signing, Ross Perrault , was signed from Brest where he usually got stuck in. Sound about right?
High and wide by Saints new signing , Adam Armstrong, from Blackburn
Libramento another new saints signing. Hope United force him to play like Liberache
Sounds right to me, David. Well in!
Sorry, boys - Saints bad boy Che Adams has opened the scoring.
United los possession AGAIN at the back
ONE NIL Saints
BUGGER CHE ADDAMS GIVES SAINTS THE LEAD. BRUNO CAUGHT FAFFING ABOUT BY JACK STEPEHENS THEN A DEFLECTED SHOT BY CHE ADDAMS OFF FRED FOOLS DE GEA AT THE NEAR POST
There's a VAR check on the goal going on perhaps for a potential foul during the move. Huge deflection on that shot.
Bruno talked his way into a card there. Silly.
Brun o talks himself into the book, thinking he was fouled. I thought it was a fair tackle.
I guess a foul on Bruno is being checked...I don't think t was much
It counts
Deflected in ....of course by Fred
This will not do - as I mentioned earlier, Soton are a bottom half side, according to my rubric.
Thanks, Bob. United will have to do what they often did last season, come from behind on the road
Thanks, Bob. Thought you would like that comment
United now down to seventh
The announcer said United have come from behind more times against the Saints than any other team during the Prem era
United can't keep the ball
Southampton were ahead at Goodison last week
OH! Spurs should have gone two up on the counter. Steve Berg-Wine wide open for a tap in , but the pass was played behind him
Then Tanganga booked for a naughty challenge
Mason Greenwood battles his way to a corner off of Djnepo
Ollie has to change this team up....Fred and Matic can never play together!
They are both too defensive AND suck
corner from Bruno eventually ccleared
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
United lucky . Theo caught them faffng at the back, but thankfully ran the ball out of play.
Seconds earlier on the break Libremento like Liberace as he missed Adam Armstrong wide open in the box
Fred gets out fought
WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING!!
Matic loses it at the top of the box!!
RIDICULOUS
Nice free kick chance now for United. Come on, Bruno - straight in!
Ross PerrAULT BRINGS DOWN mASON gREENWOOD ABOUT 25 YARDS FROM GHOAL
Martial is so bad as a front man!
Free kick chance for Bruno
Free kick from Bruno off Jack Stephens in the wall for am corner
McCarthy comfortably saves the header from Matic off the corner
Bruno into the wall
Agreed, Dave that Matic and Fred together is a disaster waiting to happen
OGS needs to change this line up at half time...not a the hour mark
Header by Matic saved
YIKES!Five stoppage time minutes at Molieaux
United are not being positive enough
Mattic and Fred both can't pass...that hurts
Just a pair at St. MAry's
United passing it the wrong way.... hate it
Just passing it around
Bad control bad pass....ball never goes into the box
OGS will need to make some changes at half time.
Agreed, Bob. Something has to be done. United were good the firsd ten minutes then downhill after that
Saint s one up at the half. Still going on at Molineaux
Whistle about to blow....United don't hurry it up and get the ball in the box....whistle blows
As I said, he better.....but he won't!
He waits to the hour mark or later
Spurs one up at the half
Bloody Hell the Cock 25 seconds late for the second half
The Cock arrives late
No changes from OGS
Ralphie going defensive as he brings on an extra defender. Bednarek on for Theo
Pink Kits wants to fire at least three quarters of the kit designers - what do you reckon?
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Surely OGS can't be happy
Pogba with a shot...blocked....never a pen
Pogba with a volley blocked by Salisu for a corner. United wanted a penalty for handball, but hos arms were by his side. Nothing doing which was the correct decision
Another dangerous cross...no one there!!
The ball bounced inside the six
Walcott off to have five at the back for the Saints
Second half underway from Molineaux. NBCSN thirty seconds early . At least they were on time
We're away at Molineux.
Everyone needs to stop calling it a back three....it is a back five
Wolves manager worse than Peacock. He's 45 seconds late Arriving
United's passing has been so poor today
Come on United....be more positive!!
Djnepo booked either for the rugby hold on Fred or for delaying the free kick
Djnepo now down for Saints, or is he wasting time?
Ralphie may go to the bank to look for a teller named Nathan
Martial has been invisible today!!
Get him off....move Greenwood in...bring on Sancho....you've wanted him for two years...you finally get him....you don't play him!
United have been too slow
United back to last season with pointless possession
Also losing the ball far too easy
WAY HAY! MASON GREEWNWOOD TIE IT UP FOR UNITED. SCRAPPY, BUT WE'LL TAKE IT
YES!!!
GREENWOOD!!!
Nice combo play by Pogba and Bruno then miss hit by Greenwood through Salisu's legs and off McCarthy, but we'll take it
Now United win another corner
Well in, Mason! That's two on the season for him.
Martial....come on...beat a man one on one
Sancho coming on....better be for him
Sancho about to be karate chopped on for United
The majority of United corners have beaten the first man.... thankfully
Let's have another one, Mason!
Now that change made as Sancho karate chopped. Good change from OGS
Cheers, Bob.
Here's the change....come on Jadon
OH! Just wide from Pogba from the edge of the box after nice foot work
Oh - Son was straight through on goal but was foiled by a great block by Kilman. Son wanted a pen - nothing doing.
ooooh....so close from Pogba...keep it up!
COME ON UNITED! LET'S HAVE ANOTHER COME FROM BEHIND VICTORY
Where's Cavani - he'd be the perfect sub for this moment.
OH Mason Greenwood should have scored. Free header inches over off a great cross from Fred who received a pass from Sancho
Ball to Sancho...can't get to it for a shot
Fred clips it into Greeny...heads over
Oh - Traore was straight through on goal but hit the keeper with his effort. No wonder he only scored two last season.
OH! Nice close range save by McCarthy from Bruno's header off a cross from Obi Wan
Traore misses a one on one
Another chance...saved!!
Bugger...keepers always have blinders
Bruno has been off today!
Simple pass on break....not good
United MUST win today
I just checked FOTMOB and it says Cavani is unavailable for personal reasons
Stupid foul by Djnepo on Bruno just outside the box.
Nice double save by Sa in the Wolves goal to keep it at 0-1
Diallo on for Djnepo for Saints
No Moura Lucas as he's replaced by Lo Celso hi up the pitch
Side footed shot by Moutinho just over just outside the Spurs box
The Chunk starting for Chelsea in his second spell with them, as they face the Gunners
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
UNITED NEED A WIN!
McTom coming on...take off Matic
Nice save by De Gea from Armstrong as JWP caught Maguire in possession then Che Addams passed to Armstrong
STRUTH!!!
Great save De Gea
Maguire....what are you doing!!
I wished McTomain started. Far superior to Matic
United had a chance to clear...Sancho headed it into his own box!
Another corner giving away
Son coming off for Kane
Harry Kane and Abel to come on for Number One Son in a like for like switch. Is Harry still Spurs Number One Son?
Hope it doesn't burn us....phew...almost did
COME ON!!
McTomain on for Fred
Maguire booked for a cynical foul on Che Addams. Defended more like Morticia
It is Fred that makes way
MORE terrible passing
Maguire with a foul and in the book
United have been their worse own enemy today
Maguire has been off today too
Free kick from JWP straight to Dea but beaten away
Free kick chance....Row Q please
Agreed. He's been surprisingly poor
"Personal reasons?!" So can I take off this next semester for "personal reasons." I really "personally" would rather sleep in, enjoys cups of tea in bed with a good novel and watch the footer in the afternoon. What do you think?
Saved
Kyle wlaker-Peters on for H Ross Perrault on the final roll of the dice from Ralphie
I can't believe that Spurs are going to eke out another 1-0er playing on the backfoot from the off. Disgusting! But I do like that Wolves have lost two on the trot. Don't like them either and they're one of our presumed mid-table rivals.
LOL, Bob. My thoughts are humorous but true. It's not COVID because it would have been listed if that was the reason. Well stated, Bob
Wow - Harry Kane is actually playing some football. I guess I will have to teach tomorrow, won't I? (sigh)....
Maybe Varane will take his place!
Another corner for the Saints
I can understand Spurs tactics against Citeh, but should be more attacking against the like of Wolves. However, it's to be expected when the likes of Nuno is managing the side
United started the season with a great GD....this is blowing that
Nuno not exactly a visionary
Great tackle by Shaw...Matic loses it immediately....he is rubbish
Lindy about to come on for United . Let's hope he does as well as he did in his loan spell at the Hammers
Did you see that Klopp complained that the refs have brought the game back 15 years with allowing the tackles and playing on
What an idiot!!
COME ON UNITED..... GET THE WINNER!
Oh - Kane with a big chance! Smothered by the keeper.
