Winning something. 1976 is embedded in my brain. When is the next year that will happen? (JPT doesn't count.)

That’s true up to a point, but if you’re a fan who’s spent hundreds of quid traveling around the country to away games all season then I think you have a right to expect a bit more. Last away game of the season is supposed to be a party not a damp squib. West Ham were actually there for the taking, but our players couldn’t summon the desire or the energy to put in a performance. Pointing that out isn’t a meltdown.

Three goals conceded, again. It was cold. The atmosphere was meh. Shane not even getting a shot away was appalling. Mo was Mo. And please don’t sell Gunn or McCarthy.

Yes please. You can contact me at chrismorrisoxford@outlook.com Thanks very much!

Never good enough for us though was he? How much did we sell him for again? Hope he wins the Champions League final with a 25 yard screamer against Barcelona.

Decent game, proper ground. Boys ran their socks off - just need a bit more composure in both boxes. Would have taken a point beforehand but we should have had three wrapped up long before they scored. One of the best away atmosphere’s this season. Scoring after six seconds certainly helps! COYR

I have a spare ticket for the game at face value - can meet at the ground.

I also have one Watford ticket available at face value. Meet at ground. And I still need a West Ham ticket if anyone has a spare!

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17587807.southampton-manager-ralph-hasenhuttl-after-his-sides-3-1-defeat-to-newcastle/ Ralph’s comments spot on to be fair. Busy in the summer.

From about 500 feet above the pitch in the away section the first half was pretty grim. Two poor goals to concede, and we just didn’t look much up for it. Was the ball out of play on half way before they scored their second - haven’t seen the replays but it should never have got to Perez anyway. Ball was defo out before Gunn made his wonder save and after we scored I thought we’d get back to 2-2. Much better performance second half and good to see Mario back. JWP did his best but isn’t a wing back, we need to sign another CB in the summer, and Danny Ings needs a goal. Long journey home. Roll on Watford.

Hi all Anyone have a spare ticket for West Ham? I’ve been away and forgot to buy. Done every other away game this season so can’t miss it and would prefer to avoid home end! Cheers Laptop

If Huawei are our shirt sponsors next year, we’ll know. Either way, I suspect the boys won’t be wearing Dalai Lama training tops.

Loving the replacement bus service from London. 2-0 (Ings, Vestergaard) COYR

Right up with the two goals as the best moment in the whole match. Owned Pogba, and you could’ve heard a pin drop in most parts of Old Trafford.

Good atmosphere in the away end. United fans silent until they scored. Ground full of tourists, you’re just a ground full of tourists. Two cracking goals, ref and one of the linos both absolutely shocking. Gutted to lose but proud of the performance. The poster who said Redmond shouldn’t be playing needs glasses. Great moment when Valery put on the afterburners and cruised past Pogba like he wasn’t there. Against some stiff competition Valery my MOTM - what a hit son!

Good results - but Cardiff have just shipped 8 goals in 2 home games but still did the double over us. Feck!

Agreed. About the only positive I can think of. Atmosphere at the Emirates as flat as a pancake. We could have played another 90 and still not scored. 4-2-2-2 against Fulham please. Goalie Valery-Jan-Jannick-Bertie Oriel-PEH JWP-Armstrong Reds-Charlie Ings and Lemina in for Charlie and JWP if either of them are ever fit.

Danny Murphy and Ian Wright seemed to think we were unlucky and played well.... I'll just leave this here.

I’m usually a cautious optimist. But that’s woeful. To lose twice to that Cardiff team is an embarrassment.

Exactly this. On a cold day away at Turf Moor, against a big hoofing Burnley, he did really well for his full debut. Made the wrong decision occasionally (what a surprise) and ran out of gas towards the end, but you could see that he has a good touch on him. One lovely ball floated across on the angle for Valery who controlled it stone dead - the academy in action. I enjoyed it from behind the goal anyway.

I'm with this. If there's a banker to start Austin this season it's got to be Cardiff at home. So don't bet against Ralph starting with Marcus Barnes. Trust the manager - he seems to know what he's doing. Would certainly be good to see Bertie back for the last twenty mins too...

I Also just got back and agree with almost all of this. Jack had a good game, and most of the criticism on here is bullsh1t. Couldn’t really tell from the other end if he was fouled, but the ref was determined to give them one last chance, and when Shane Long ended up on his arse off the pitch I just had a bad feeling. Like most people though I’d have taken a point at 1455. Good day out. O

If he goes, we'll miss Charlie for the bantz... flicking the Vs at the City fans, going all Danny Dyer at the ref after the Watford game, and he's a character - Ralph clearly likes his attitude. But he's obviously not the future, and although he maybe the most natural goal poacher we have he'll always miss a few games, and he doesn't fit Ralph's style or fitness regime. So if he goes I wish him well, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him score for someone else at St Mary's one day.

Good day out. As others have said: Romeu - majestic Vestergaard - now looking like a £20 million centre back Bednarek - has that crucial ability to anticipate danger and make goal saving interventions... tackle on Aubameyang v Arsenal and the brilliant clearance today right in line with us Other than that most of the game was at the far end of the pitch, us in the first half and them in the second. But who cares - biggest win of the season so far IMO with Bertie, Yoshi, PEH, Lemina, Ings, Austin and Obafemi all missing. Played lads.

That turn and shot at Wembley. Scenes. At least we don’t have to sing about Les Reed any more.
