    Great half. When we play like that we are anything but dull. More often please!!

    A few points:

    1. Tadic has been great - but what the hell was that????
    2. I love Long. He is our most important player this year.
    3. Wonderful passing from Clasie at times - who looks like Shawcross's younger brother!
    4. Does the ref have any cards in his pocket? (but I actually think he's done well)

    Tadic completely does the last defender, dummies the keeper then wants to take another touch and have a look up before shooting into an empty net, quite astounding

    Tadic didn't see whoever that Stoke guy was who hauled ass getting back. Long should have done better with his chance as well. Not saying either one should have scored, but they should have come closer.

    We are playing well overall though. Just a bit of uncharacteristically sloppy passing from the midfield. Get that straightened out and we can score 2 more.

    I'm enjoying the Dutch commentary on my stream. All sounds very positive about Saints. When Affelay dived in behind Tadic they were (I think) screaming for a booking.

    I think we're every Dutchman's second team.

    Oh Dusan... Maybe Long knew he'd do that when he didn't lay it across for a tap in the first time!

    Committed the keeper and the defender beautifully, opened it perfectly to put it into the right corner, but then had the sudden dread-filled realisation that would require hitting it with his right foot - so obviously it would be better to take the time to try and set it back onto his left to flick it in instead. Rough one. Definition of overthinking it.

    Just come in from doing a charity collection - I almost crashed the car twice, mainly because I was whooping and thumping the steering wheel. So, so chuffed for Graziano, first thing I hear when I turn the TV on is "Pelle has scored more today than in the last 17 games!"

    Come on boys!!

    Butland should have saved the second, wonder if Roy's watching

    Martina ran all the way across the box towards the ball a few seconds before, then stands in the middle of the box rather than go back out to right back slot

    This is going to be an absolute ballache of a half. All because Tadic can't take an open goal. Missed the first 40 minutes but saw that.

    Someone needs to reduce Arnautovic.
