Was that a giant bottle of Budweiser for Man of the Match? Burp!

A fine way to start the 2014 cup run.

We'll be remembering this game on the eve of our trip to Wembley in May.

Quite encouraging to see Saints having some shots and goals from the edge of the penalty area. Maybe the tactic of walking it into the net has been adjusted.

What odds on Jos getting an equaliser?

Deep cross finds Vokes 6 yards out. Couldn't miss. Yep. I can believe that.

Maybe a replay would be useful then.

Saints looked knackered 2nd half. Give the 1st team a rest this weekend.

Has Chambers got any studs on his boots? Saints looking worn out this half.

Just seen Webb fail to give a pen for a blatant assault on Suarez as well. Does anyone hold these characters to account?

Deserved more. Clear pen denied at the end there as well.

What's the betting that lino misses some obvious offsides next half?

Jos is well ahead on goals scored ... at the wrong end.

Couldn't really give a toss about the result. It's still the lack of any decent conversion of the few real chances we create that keeps on nagging at me. That's the same whether it's the first or second string.

Well that shows how shallow the squad is.

The lack of a cutting edge up front has been a problem for a while.

Two points dropped I reckon.

Laughable. We'll be seeing that again for a few years to come.

Saints were well worth a point. I'm still wondering where the ref got 5 minutes extra from though. Perhaps he thought we'd nick it in added on time.

Now if only we could find something more penetrative in attack.

Swansea are finding it far too easy down their right flank. It seems to have become them v. Boruc.

Call theat defending?

The finishing is really quite bad.

It seemed to me that Rickie was one of the few players that looked comfortable with the ball while also managing to pass it to a red shirt occasionally. Admittedly the Ukrainians were also pretty adept at finding red shirts too.

Have just come in. I take it we have the same old story of being unable to penetrate against the park the bus sides.
