The independent commission bottled it.

I'll go out on a limb and welcome the chap to Saints. It would be nice if he could be allowed at least a few minutes on the pitch before getting the hate treatment.

As expected Saints are now morphing into a mid table Championship player trading club. SR's work is almost complete. I don't expect to see them at the top level again so basically back to where they were when I started going to the Dell 60 years ago.

FT and a 2-nil win. A clean sheet. It's the hope that gets you.

Excellent from Welington.

Stoke have finally learned to lump it into Saints box.

Corner Stoke. Free header. Over the bar.

Stoke hit the post. Bree on hand to clear. Lucky Saints.

Saints really need to show at least some attacking intent otherwise they'll succumb in the end.

Ref's a complete joke.

Stoke don't seem to have heard that they really just need to keep lumping it into Saints penalty area. Don't mention it.

Here come the unnecessary subs

Better passing in the final third and this game would be well and truly over.

That's 3 pens that the ref has missed.

Saints score from a corner - just. 0-2. Downes.
