Bit ironic of Ibra to be hounding the referee to send yer man off when he moaned about Chelsea doing the same to him a couple of years ago.

Nowhere near as bad as it was made out to be, yellow is correct.

Game over. Well done to utd, hard luck to Saints.

That's right, no team has ever come back from two down in the history of football ever.

Oh man this thread is too good

Good call by the ref there. Did actually look a lot worse.

How are the two fouls by Herrera and lingard yellow card offenses.

There's really no such thing as a neutral where United are concerned!

I'm neutral but I usually go for the underdog.

SlickRic

And so many people up until this season still didn't really rate Ibra...

Next goal is crucial

It's how pretty much any team would react to a tackle like that.

wasn't even that bad on the replay as Neville said also..

It's a ****show as always. Used to enjoy match threads. Now they are the last refuge for trolls and malcontents.

Rayne Wooney

I cannot watch this negative, bus parking, long ball playing United any longer

Jayop

That's two missed tackles by Rojo.

It was still bad and very much looked it in real time. The players don't have the benefit of replay.

Would make no difference to your posts if you watched their games or not.

It looked much worse than it was from the back or front on camera, side view showed a yellow was correct.

That whole surrounding the ref is nonsense. You would think that United are the only team that does it, its something that happens in nearly every game when a seemingly visious tackle goes in.

It could have broken his leg and the players surrounding the ref would still be unwarranted. It's not part of the game and it's horrible to see a group of professionals trying to get another sent off.

Harry Palmr

ITS ON

omega man

Get in

wanderer100

Game on boys!!!

Unearthly

Crap defending

Harry Palmr

This Gabbiadini fella seems quite useful.

Jayop

To be expected. Absolutely shocking space between the cbs and the midfield.

martyos121

Nice finish.

Liam McPoyle

They deserve that.

LuckyGent88

Well deserved goal for Southampton. We have been awful at the back.

ShaneU

Rojo has been terrible

murpho999

So it's 2-2 now?

mada999

shame Southampton didnt take their chances.... there's one there...

Johner

Fully deserved.

Mars Bar

What is bailly's body shape there?

Ah would you jog on.

GreNoLi

Cheeky cheeky, deserved, should be two all, game on.

How Soon Is Now

Least will make things interesting for second half. Hopefully United wake up and respond.

Italian players doing poorly in England doesn't seem to apply to Southampton. First Pelle, now Gabbiadini.

Liamalone

Good time to pull one back. Interesting

Johner

United back line is really awful.

Liam O

Clear offside I thought.

murpho999

Southhampton probably go in feeling better now.

Richard Hillman

Forster has been horrendous on both goals. The first one is obvious but the second he actually takes a step to his right to give himself less of a chance of saving it.

For the second in particular, if this was a South /Central American game or Lower League Italian football, I would be very suspicious

Osmosis Jones

At least this will keep it entertaining for the second half.

I'm assuming you'll bring this up when your team does it?

Sand

Well, from a United perspective 2-1 up and cant play as poorly as that in the second half. So encouraging.

Agent Coulson

Could Sky not at least make one of the commentators a neutral for all us neutral fans?

Many games this season we have been awful in the first half and brilliant in the second.

We have been pretty awful today so hopefully the trend for our second half continues.

mada999

Utd sitting back the whole first half has given Southampton some encouragement...set up to counter attack

Not exactly unique to a Mourinho team though is it? Ever watch Barcelona play?

Forster's footwork is generally leaden to say the least.

Great game so far

Or every team in the history of football.

Where did I say it was unique to a Mourinho side? I'm not too fond of Barca so that's irrelevant, and I stand by the fact that it's something in football that annoys me. If my team does it, of course I'll keep my mouth shut, it doesn't mean I like it though.

GreNoLi

The legs on her....
