Great to see them hunker down and battle back from 0-1 down. Seems to be a pattern this year. :)

As with similar games after Champions League ties (WBA, Charlton), Newcastle started very slowly. Once they started to pass the ball, however, it was all over for Southampton and we could have won by more.

This is the fourth home game this season where we have turned around a 0-1 deficit to a 2-1 win.

These early goals are going to be the death of me. How many times have we given up goals in the first 10 minutes?

I thought the boys showed some sack after what should have been a hangover.

Howay the lads!
