Subs won the game. Just didn't seem like we were set up to win from the off. In isolation its a good result and performance but taken within the context of the season it's another worrying demonstration of his philosophy.

Outside the area I mean the one that went out for their goalkick. The commentators didn't even mention it but it looked like Sissoko lifted it over Begovic and got taken out. Was just waiting for the ref to point to the spot Looked like a dive, tbh.

Spent most of the second half calling for Marveux to come on. Just wish he'd have come on earlier as we'd run out of ideas on about the 15-minute mark. Cabaye played some inventive balls, but all too often he (and his team-mates) would play straight into Stoke's hands. Well, Begovic's hands, at least. Are our players really that stupid? Anyway, some positives: Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Gouffran, brilliant FK. Negatives: Tiote (idiotic), Santon (still can't defend), corners (shite), and Jonas is still getting a game.

Get in. Exactly the sort of game we usually fail to get a result from. A genuine triumph of good over evil.

Taylor's been excellent.

Wish we'd try a different set-piece taker.

Let's just batter them.

What?

0-0 ain't a bad result but it means the home tie will be an absolute heart attack.

Would take that, tbh.

Presumably this will be shown in pubs as usual even though it's on regular telly? Trying to calculate where is the nearest telly pub from work...

Ugh. Spurs.

Can't wait for the follow up. Keef, isn't it? Not hairy enough.

Box-to-box stormtrooper of death.

Yes. They were memorably shite.

Aye, and that was after sprinting about half the length of the pitch.

Permanently. Bit sinister.

Bradford have been a credit to League Two? They really haven't.

This is intense.

Christ. Talk about one-sided.

Bit pathetic this.

Wasn't a foul given before that? BBC http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/images/smilies/picard.gif

Absolute shite this.

Don't think I ever met a Welsh person in Newcastle.

Probably better off taking short corners at the minute.
