Does mean we'll be back in the relegation zone... still, it's a long season.

7 f**king minutes!? What a joke.

3-3 with a stunning goal. And now.. to hang on and avoid the 4-3 defeat.

A long 3 mins + stoppage time to go.

That helps. But we still have a lot to do!

Stoke are a good team. We will do well to get anything now ... Saints really pushing. Red card to NZonzi

Something typical. We miss a sitter and they score.... let's hope we can hang on and avoid the 4-3 defeat...

Can't believe Guly missed!!

So close from J-Rod.

Cork with a decent effort.

It was going toward goal from Lambert but the Stoke defender touched it past his own keeper. But it was on target, so surely a Lambert goal?

3-1 !!!

Whew. They were through then! Luckily they made bad choices. Good old end-to-end game!

£7m on a player we left on the bench today when the game needed changing was a bit odd. We need another striker though, that is good enough to put it in the net at this level.

So far he's been awful. Can't seem to pass to his own players being the main problem. Hopefully he'll adapt though .. quickly!

Fulham and Stoke away then Arsenal at home. Hard to see us getting any points from those games.....

It is going to be a tough couple of months. No real threat up front if Lambert isn't hitting them in. Ramirez isn't working out as good as we had hoped (so far) and we resorted to throwing on reserve players, with little real match experience to change the game. Our lack of depth and quality is being shown up again. Sunderland were absolutely terrible, but we were much worse.

Ramirez is utterly utterly awful today. Worse performance by any player this season.

More shots on target in injury time than before.

Well, perhaps the next game... we need another unexpected result now.

Not sure about our tactics today really. Bit strange. We've not really got into the second half and we've been throwing on reserve players to try and change the game.

Guly here to save the day!

Whew.. thought we'd seen the end of Davis then!

Any subs left? Time to take Ramirez off I think. He doesn't work in the rain,

20 minutes to save Christmas.
