I have come to the conclusion after dwelling on the cup exit for a couple of hours, that we could borrow the Real Madrid team for a day, put them in Saints shirts for a midweek cup game up North and they would suddenly become terrible and we would crash out in an all too familiar unspectacular fashion. It's just what Saints do. After a lifetime of it, you would think I would get used to it , but it's the hope that kills you..
