Two late goals, and to be fair the crowd were magnificent trying to inspire the team to get that third goal. It was a pretty mundane twenty minutes prior to that, and all game Southampton were vastly superior.
I thought Howson, Tettey, Bennett, Yobo, Whittaker and particularly Olsson all had decent games in fact - the issue was more with the way the team had obviously been told to play.
The ref and linesmen did seem to be homers but again that's masking the fact that we just didn't really look like scoring.
Two telling signs - firstly we were ironically "Olay-ing" as early as about 20 minutes, and secondly saints fans were singing "we're taking the piss, we're taking the piss, we're Southampton, we're taking the piss". And they were, they were that dominant.
One thing I did think was unfair was Hughton being abused for his substitutions. They were bold and early, and actually made a difference for once.
