Saints still manage to give away a daft corner.

Paradoxically the only reason that ball was played forward so quickly was because of a crap pass out to KWP in defence.

Ings shows his class.

Saints defending still looking ropey.

Much better.

Good grief! We're in trouble aren't we.

Burnley are looking for a second. They can see that Saints aren't up for this at all.

Saints 2nd to everything at the moment.

Game's a joke.

Looked like a foul on the defender first.

You must be joking.

Handball in my book.

Hopefully that's the only mistake out of the way.

Saints prefer the sunny weather don't they?

Hopefully Danny, Redders & Theo have been spending the last couple of weeks working on some new attacking ideas. Anything inventive in the final third has to be better than some of the stuff served up so far in 2021.

If we don't get a result with that team it might be time to give up.

What I'd really like today is Saints back to early season form, an early goal, no defensive lapses and the game wrapped up with a comfortable lead well before the end. Probably too much to ask these days so I'll no doubt have to settle for a point in a scrappy game and then some solace if Newcastle & Fulham both fail to get anything. Anything less than that and we can start comparing this season to 1974.

Well Sunday evening is normally a football-free time when I get the chance sit down for dinner with my football-hating wife. I'll now have to earn some bonus points. I'm also so long in the tooth that semi finals should still get played on a sunny afternoon at a neutral ground rather than at Wembley.

1830 on a Sunday night? They take us for mugs. Probably because we are.

Manchester clubs kept apart. 😉

Saints wasteful again. 😉

Worth a red I reckon.

Diallo needs to work on his shooting.

Typical Redmond. 😁

Handball wasn't it?
