No sign whatsoever of Ipswich staging a late dramatic rally at Carrow Road. The Canaries are on their way to Wembley. Delia and Stephen Fry are all smiles in the crowd.
Summary

Villa have had a fair share of possession at the start of the second half at St Mary's. But then, why do Southampton need to press? That four-goal cushion is feeling pretty comfortable right now. Saints keeper Paulo Gazzaniga can probably do some work on his tan.

Ian, Halifax: @Dan in London (13:43), Sherwood is a genius. We all have bad days! Let's see how far up the table we finish next year. Confident the comeback is on!

Yes he's a red and I'll always be blue but I have a lot of respect for this guy. Liverpool will not be the same without him. Wish him and his family all the best in America in the MLS. #Respect #Loyalty"

The game is back under way at St Mary's. Villa have some pride to salvage.

One Villa fan appears to have come prepared for a hammering at St Mary's. He's brought a sizeable book with him, which he is tucking into at half-time. I hope it's not Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five.

Thing is, Villa could concede another five goals in the second half at St Mary's and still secure their place in the Premier League today if Hull lose at Tottenham. You can be certain that is not the theme of Tim Sherwood's message to his players right now. I say message, I mean assault.

Dan, London: Good work Southampton. Good to put this "Sherwood is a genius" utter nonsense to bed.

There are 25 minutes to go. I suggest you stay firmly across them here.

Opeyemi Faseyitan:, external Horrendous tactics from Sherwood, there's so much space between the back four and the goalkeeper.
Laurence Mitchell:, external Brazil conceded 5 goals v Ger in a shorter time than us (Villa) today. So technically, we're better than Brazil (I'm crying).

This is why we love the play-offs. They might be down to 10 men and a goal down but Ipswich refuse to throw the towel in. Tommy Smith is quickest to Daryl Murphy's nod down to beat the keeper and then find the unguarded net.
