Judging by the first few minutes of extra time maybe not even that.

Lucky our attack is so incisive.

If we combined the best team from both halves we'd be ok

I keep thinking we've signed Pierluigi Collina's younger brother then I remember Smallbone has given up on hair.

Lovely header

Maybe there's a £50m defender inside Bednarek. It's just he gets ruthlessly punished for any slip by his own keeper.

And went at true daisy cutter pace

At least we know our first choice keeper now.

For some value of "missing", yes

It's like we've put a sign up saying "get your goals here". Can we put Gavin back on?

Wait. Did I just see a Saints DM drive forward and shoot?

We have no cutting edge.

This is uncomfortable watching. A goalkeeper who commands his area AND distributes the ball. What sorcery is this?

Our new GK is talkative and comes for crosses.

Bless them and their condescension

For £10m Winks might be worth a punt. Don't want us paying Levy tax though.

Delap on perm. Broja on perm. Simples.

If SR had advertised they were investing heavily we'd be paying Newcastle tax. I like their way of doing business.

Now let's have Delap, Colwill, Openda and Vale.

Fank thuck for that.

In previous years I'd assume we'd be about to put out a press release saying Ralph was happy with his striking options only for Che to get injured as the window shut. Now, I believe you're right.

Until the last three words of that sentence my heart sank

Same. Any time a Saints transfer draws out I feel like it's going to fall through.

So Long, Shane and thanks for everything. I remember your clinical seasons under Koeman and the commitment you showed every minute on the pitch.

That tackle meant Matt le Tiss didn't get subbed on for a farewell appearance.
