Just like Tuesday evening and the shambles against Everton, the fans had to sit through ANOTHER gutless performance.
Pardew sat up in the stands at St Mary's laughing and joking with owner Mike Ashley ... while the 2,187 travelling fans sat through ANOTHER showing that could have been a 9-0 defeat!
Alan Pardew: "The performance was lacklustre from us.
"The difference in energy levels between the two teams was marked, I thought.
"The emphasis of the game today was never changed because of the threat.
"We've got to threaten the game more than we did today. If you don't threaten the opposition then they're going to keep coming and that's what Southampton did.
"It was a great day for them. I thought they played very well, made it very difficult for us.
"That's a performance that we need to make sure never happens again. It was our lack of energy, wherever you were sitting in the stadium, that looked a problem."
