... captain Fabricio Coloccini refused to offer an explanation or apology.
There is a strong rumour going around St James' Park that this is the last season at Newcastle for the central defender, and he just about said so last week after the OTHER shocking performance on Tuesday.
Fabricio Coloccini: "I will think about my future in the summer", was about all the Chronicle could get from him.
But it is no secret there are a lot of unhappy players at the club at the moment, and that showed in the last seven days with two performances that were unforgivable.
Rob Elliot claims "we all give 100%" at St Mary's, but I don't know what view he had from his penalty area.
There were players out there who didn't want to know.
Players who went hiding and some who didn't even turn up.
If Warren Barton* was there he would have turned up with ten pig's hearts! (At least Elliot tried).
*Barton was infamous for giving Italian defender Pistone a pig's heart as a Christmas present because he "had no heart when going in to tackle".
