Morning Bob.....whoda thunk it... Both Leeds on Telly!!
Will United continue their form of the Liverpool match with their visit to the South Coast...or....was it a false dawn
Thie Line Ups
Southampton: Bazunu, Djenepo, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, A Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Aribo, Adams.
Subs: McCarthy, Lyanco, Bednarek, Valery, Romeu, S Armstrong, Diallo, Perraud, Mara.
Manchester United: De Gea, Malacia, Martinez, Varane, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford.
Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Casemiro, Van de Beek, Ronaldo, Garnacho.
So, United name the same starting 11 as the Liverpool match
New man, Casemiro, is on the bench
Martial is not on the bench...injured again!
Teams in the tunnel and NBC are on commercial of course
Not sure I should jinx United's performance by commenting!
I didn't want to jinx it on Monday
Teams on their way out!
I know that most fans, and probably players, didn't want to see this kit again(ala gray kit at the Dell) but there was no choice
They're away kit is white and Saints of course wear red and white!
More commercials for NBC
And we are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
The kits are terrible with the grass....same color!!
No Away points in half a year!!
Saints have had all the ball so far
United haven't had the ball yet..come on!
Get the ball in the box
Bruno tries a Becks... keeper is back in time
Sancho has the ball on the left and doesn't take on the man
TAKE HIM ON...don't go backwards
Malacia with a great tackle and then passes it straight to a Saint
Sancho breaks...beats a man but goes backwards again
Dalot...with a chance for a dangerous cross...just too high for Bruno
Applause for David Armstrong. I remember him
Passed away at the age of 67
Sunderland and Stoke kicked off at the same time at the SoL
Still scoreless
Come on United...get into the game again!
United with a chance to break...they blew it!
I think it was a lazy pass by Rash
If United get three points....they will be up to sixth place...can't catch bloody Leeds
Almost 20 minutes gone...United haven't had a shot...come on... SCORE GOALS
OMG...HOW DID UNITED NOT SCORE..... FIVE SHOTS!!!!
HOW DID THEY NOT SCORE!!
Good Morning Dave . Just woke up and saw three United blocked shots. should have taken the lead. Just woke up.
Then free header from Martinez off the corner straight to Bazuunu
Morning David
You were better getting up when you were in the right time zone!
Eriksen needs to be told OR know himself he could turn and run forward
Have Scholes swivel head
The Dane can't get the cross over but wins a corner
Those balls have to beat the defender
Talk about the pitch surface....take a look at highlights of matches of the 70s and 80s
LOL,Dave! Looked like those blocked shots were the first action of the match
Agreed. These players are pampered with picture perfect lawns . They complain too often
Good defending by Martinez twice
Maybe he's the new Evra
Awful debut but a great career
Phew...United survive the corner...definitely should have scored
Phew! Bella-Ketchup wide open and shot over from two yards out off a Saints corner
Then Shy Addams turns and shoots straight at De Gea
Smart by Rashford to get the ball that was going to Sancho but he was offside
Morning, guys - I'm just settling in after a bit of the morning routine with the twins. How's it been so far?
Come on United...we need a goal
Morning Bob
Eriksen almost finds Bruno
Good Morning, Bob. Back with some banana bread and coffee. United had some good chances when I first woke up. Otherwise a disjointed first half
M&M describes United's shooting. Missing & Missing.
BOOM BOOM!
I know Dave mentioned both United's on the telly. Also both United's on the South Coast.
Just read about the p[assing of David Armstrong. Decent attacking midfield player. Sad about his passing
Kung Fu Panda out due to an achoilles injury due to some errant turns from attempted karate chops.
Speed up the ball movement United!!
Shot blocked...free kick chance for United
We don't score many of these tho
Will this be the first time this season United will be 0-0 at the half?
Decent free kick chance for United
Bruno to take...straight into the wall
HT... clean sheet but needs some goals!!!
Bruno's free kick straight into the wall. It's 0-0 at the half with no stoppage time
First halftime 0-0 in the Ten Hog era
The banana bread sounds like an excellent option. My mother in law is making some biscuits for brekkies right now.
Black Cats vs Canaries 0-0 at the half
Well done by your mother-in-law. Elizabeth's cousin will be visiting from Greenville, SC today. Should arrive between 11 and noon today
Yesterday Hatters vs Evil Blades finished 1-1
Black Cats this and Canaries six th as things stand ahead of the 10 AM kickoffs
Secon d half underway St. MAry's
Teams coming back out for the second half now - doesn't look like there are any changes to either side.
Hope you have a good time visiting with Elizabeth's cousin.
Saints up to eighth place and United remain in 13th place as things stand ahead of the 10 AM matches
Have fun David
Good run by McTom...shot saved
Not sure about this yellow away kit that United is sporting today.
Cheers, mate. She's one;y spending on e night. Will probably miss the late match today as a result
United are still toothless at corners
Near post shot from McTomain turned around by Bazunu then Varane heads well over off the corner
How does Dalot expect not to get a card there
Welcome e back, Dave. That last header was like one of mine back in the day
Dalot booked for obstruction on Djnepo
We've got Kate's dad and stepmom coming in a few weeks.
United excited me at times on Monday....SPEED THINGS UP
Get a shot off!!
Should be quite a visit. Since the arrival of M&M sounds like the Cottage has been buzzing with activity
Oh - nice one-two there between Elanga and Bruno but Soton defended it well.
Nice last ditch tackle by Bela-Ketchup on Elanga. Took too long to shoot
Just a reminder , both our United are on the telly in midweek. Leeds vs Toffees on Tuesday, Elizabeth's birthday and United at the struggling Foxes on Thursday
Subs up and getting readied for the Saints. It doesn't strike me that managers are using the five subs. What do you think?
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
That's great to hear, David - thanks for the program update.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRUNO!!!!
I was really busy yesterday and didn't realize the draw for the group stages of Europe was yesterday. This Thursday the start of Thursday footie for United. At the Foxes this Thursday then host real Sociedad in the EL the following Thursday
GOAL! Bruno opens United's account!
WAYTHAY!N BRUNO GIVES UNITED THE LEAD
Now score more!!!
Nice one touch passing by United then Dalot with the pass tucked away by Bruno
First away goal since April at the Em
Yikes
I was thinking of posting the group stages on the LOB on Monday unless someone else wants to do the honors. Don't want to conflict with Prem Footie during the weekend.
Not good that United scored first
Southampton's three games
Scored first...lost
Conceded first...drew...sorry Bob
Conceed first...won
Conceded first....?
Nice stat, Dave, but scary
Adam Armstrong wins a corner off of Dalot
Spurs got a great draw
City are lucky of course
Could Ronaldo join Napoli and take on Pool
Love the Battle of Britain
Corner from JWPO cleared then cross from JWP diverted well over by Shay Addams
United blow it at the back...KNOCK IT OFF
Saints want a pen for handball..ref says no...will VAR agree
United survive the penalty shout.
I was at the Verizon store yesterday for over three hours in a grueling but successful visit then the hours and ten minute drive each way. Was exhausted and completely forgot. Will look forward to checking the groups. Early, the day after Labor Day due to bloody Qatar
Thankfully, not given
YIKES! United yup to sixth place ahead of the remaining Prem matches this weekend. Saints now in 13th place
In the match at the AMEX, if there is a winner that team could go top
Bella-Ketchup heads well over off a Saints corner. Stu Armstrong on for El Yanoussi
Still no changes and we're past the hour mark. What's the point of the five sub rule?
Two Armsrtongs on the pitch for Saints and one ex Saint sadly passed away, as Dave mentioned
LEEDS GO TOP!!!
Ralph made that change thanks to a thrashing from Bob
Come on United....score a second!
Will the Gunners go top after the late match vs Bob and Kate's lads?
Oh - De Gea with a great save from Walker-Peters.
Great cross and header and save!
Look how dangerous a cross is...whoda thunk it
OH! De Gea with a superb reflex save off a close range header from Joe Aribo then Kyle Walker-Peters headed the rebound over. Nice run and cross from Adam Armstrong
It's incredible to think that the next match is fifth v. third. Cor!
Ronaldo to come on... for Sancho
I would have taken off Elanga
And United sixth!?!
Come on Ronny....get a goal!!
Still 0-0 in the Championship match
CR 7 on for Sancho who did get a goal on Monday
Will this be his last appearance ?
If so....SCORE
Ronaldo comes on for Sancho with a little over twenty minutes left to make an impression.
Will this be Ronny's last appearance for United?
IF CR 7 goers to Napoli then he could win a Serie A medal in addition to being in the CL
Saints want a pen...I guess it wasn't
Stop with the stupid fouls!!
COME ON...BE SMART
Looks like Group C is the Group of Death with Bayern, Inter, and Barca in the same group. Who will be the odd team out ?
Decent draw for Pool too. Loos like Chelsea got a fairly easy draw too.
Dalot is not good at defending...TAA in disguise...without the grease passing
Come on United... get your fingers out!
DON'T SIT BACK
United under the cosh , but thankfully not testing De Gea
Also Dalot without the pace of Sterling.
Time for drinkies. Is it really that hot today?
I'd bring on Casemiro for McTom
Smarter
Ronaldo down hurt...holding his knee
YIKES! CR & down, holding his hammy before play resumes. Is that it for him? Will anyone want to sign him seeing that?
Stu Armstrong down for Saints too.
I agree, Dave. That would be a great change
Still scoreless at the SoL
Mara on for Adam Armstrong. Casemiro about to come on for his United debut
CT 7 looks like he will continue on.
Hatters vs Evil Blades finished 1-1 yesterday. There may be a new table topper ion the Championship today
Maddox is getting his breakfast bottle now - he says "hi." He's a Leeds fan of course but United are okay.

Elanga coming off for Casemiro
Come on United!
A defensive change from the Tenth Hog as Casemiro on for Elanga.
Let's hope that Casemiro has an immediate impact.
Rashford hasn't done much today!
False dawn Monday!
WOW! That his quite a Leeds improvement . Great stats
It could be One off Monday for Rash
United break...in years past...Ronaldo would have burst past him
The Canaries take the lead at the SOL
Come on United....just score a second
The Sargent at Arms, Josh with the Canaries goal. The Canaries are now in second place, a point behind the Evil Blades
Sargent....the Yank with the Canary goal
Looks like all the divisions will be in action in midweek.
A Canaries win will help a few in the PPP, but also hurt one or two in the PPP.
United desperately need the win here....keep pace with a certain Yorkshire club
Come UNITED!!
In the Scots Lowland League , Celtic's B tema thrashed Dalbeattie Star 5-0. Celt's reserves were the stars of the match
United right were you predicted they would be, Dave, ahead of the remaining Prem matches
Is McTom wasting time?
If it isn't...I don't like it...it will just add more time
Looks like Fred is to come on for McTomain
I was thinking the same. Hope the extra time doesn't hurt United
Ross Perraud on for Djnepo and Liyanko on for Joe Airbo as the Saints make a double change
McTomain remains on
YIKES! There will be half a dozen stoppage time minutes
We just need
Newcastle, Fulham, Brentford, Palace, Forest and Chelsea to lose
6 minutes of Injury Time
Those minutes begin
And now more....Fred to come on for McTom
Fred for Eriksen,another defensive change . More stoppage time
No, it is Eriksen
I really need a clean sheet for United's sake AND mine!
I need points from Malacia and Martinez
Struth...overhead kick saved off the line
Come on United...why make this interesting!
OH! Saints bicycle kick cleared off the line
Make a better pass Dalot!!
Nice clearance off the line Dalot. Corner from JWP cleared
just wide
Phew
Mara volleys well wide. Maras of that finishing from the Sain ts will do.
Fred booked for pulling g back Stu Armstrong on an attempted Sain ts break
United with a chance of the cross....couldn't find anyone
Ronaldo annoyed
Fred booked
Untied break...not good by Ronaldo
It is over!!!
UNITED WIN!!
TOP SIX!
It's over and United grind out a 0-1 win at St. Mary's
Off to take Trooper Walkies
First clean sheet of the season for United
Congrats, guys - back to back wins now. Up to 6th!
Next up is Brighton v. Leeds. Fifth v. Third. Graham Potter had Marcelo Bielsa's number when we played Brighton in the past. But what will he make of Jesse Marsch.
The team news isn't great for us, as Lord Patrick Bamford is still out. I think he's a broken player at this point. But Rodrigo is in sparkling form this season, so it hasn't really mattered so far.
Back from a store run
So glad they are showing Leeds and not Chelsea or City match
I'll have Goal Rush on...hope it isn't the telly match
I have 5Live on as well...again...hope it isn't the telly match
Sunderland manager...Alex Neil... is off to Stoke!
Coventry City actually have a match today!
They have only played twice!
They've had back to back home games called off because of the state of the pitch after Commonwealth Rugby games
EFL has okayed the pitch for matches this week
It looks like 5Live has the Liverpool Bournemouth match
Wouldn't it be fantastic if Liverpool fall behind again today!!
If only Bruno had finished vs Brighton as he did today
That would have put United one up...things would have been different
United's side at the end of the match
Had FIVE players that spoke Portuguese!!
Looks like Goal Rush will also be at Anfield
Back from walkies ahead of the 10 AM matches
United have Leicester away and Arsenal home up next
Next Sunday, Jon has asked me to play golf early Sunday...gotta be a good dad. Hope I am done in time for kick off
Teams in the tunnel at the Amex!
COME ON LEEDS!
PS
Still disgusted with myself for rooting for Leeds!! What has happened to me!
Canaries held on to win 0-1 at the SOL and are now second place ahead of the 10 AM matches.
I have the match from the AMEX on the telly and Goal Rush on the comouter
Hiya Chaps! Here for the Leeds match. Circumstances out of my control, ie her indoors have conspired so that I'll be watching my Reds on DVR later on.
Congrats to the Davids for seeing off So'ton. MOT!
10 am matches
Brentford v Everton
Brighton v Leeds
Chelsea v Leicester
Liverpool v Bournemouth
Man City v Crystal Palace
All the Big Wigs...apart from Spurs...playing on Saturday
Pool should get their first win of the season, hosting g the Cherries, but then we said that about the drawn matches
I'll make sure you won't get updates from me before you watch your lot overtake Leeds into top spot again
