Should be able to relax into the certainty of relegation by Easter at this rate.

As bad as last season's game.

Stream dead. Thank goodness.

It's the hope that gets you. It'll soon be gone.

Stick Perraud up front alongside the new big lad and just play hoof ball. Cannot trust the midfield so might as well just bypass it.

Saints looking very much like relegation material. Impotent and slow up front (still) and all at sea when defending. The less said about passing in midfield the better.

Just too easy for every one of our opponents.

Another cross - another goal conceded.

Saints defending is really quite comical. Always look likely to concede.

I think I might go against the flow and actually watch the game before throwing my toys out of the pram.

Jeez! Popped in here for a look and it's full of wrist slashers. Depressing stuff.

Arrogant useless twats are not exactly unknown even around here.

Regardless of the starting formation I don't suppose Jones was expecting our boys to keep passing to players in black and white. The first goal came from giving the ball away twice in our own half.

Never recovered from stupidly giving the ball away twice in 5 seconds to concede the first goal. Good effort 2nd half but chances missed again.

More training on how to beat a 'keeper when one on one is in order. Those two chances missed over the two legs will be the difference.

Couldn't even rescue a game against 9 up there so I hold out little hope.

Red card all day long.

Should be a sending off.

That Saints waste of a free-kick ended up with a Newcastle shot at goal. Just stick it in the box FFS!

This is a semi-final, Saints. Let's at least have a go.

AA been taking lessons from Che.

Saints with loads of possession but creating virtually nothing up front. Newcastle cruising.

I'd just like to us getting the ball into the box occasionally when there's a chance to cross. Mind you, we have midgets up front but what the hell.

Newcastle think they've won this. They're probably right.

Saints might have a chance in games if they didn't pass the ball to their opponents so often. We give it away so cheaply at times.
