Do other leagues across Europe have these kind of issues? Is VAR the problem or is it the poor performance of the officials behind the screens?

Do you blame the fans though? Week in and week out it's the same old shit. Our home form has been gash for well over a year now. I went yesterday, did I enjoy it? No. I seriously cannot remember the last time I enjoyed watching a game at St Mary's. Probably the West Ham cup game. Other sites like the UI have the cheek to criticise our support, with Illingsworth banging on about it all the time. Football for a family isn't a cheap thing and if the football is absolutely shit, I can see why people don't bother anymore.

DCC is an experienced Croatian international who has played at Euro's and World Cups. Regardless of what you think of the penalty award, why the fuck did he even give the referee a decision to make by making contact with their player.

We shouldn't need to rely on good or bad officiating to beat a league 2 team at home. The performance was absolutely abysmal by a so called Premier league team.

Much as I would love to see that, it won't happen. As a fan base we have just become used to shit teams and players serving up the same shit week in week out. Opposing fans must love coming to St Mary's.

I don't think there are words to justify how utter shite we were last night. It was a fuckin bottom half league 2 club, yet we conspired to make them look like a decent outfit. They were absolutely fuckin shit, yet somehow we were even fuckin worse. That kind of performance is totally unforgivable. No effort, no passion, no urgency. None of those playing last night are fit to wear our shirt. The club should ashamed and embarrassed this morning. Fans should be refunded the ticket money from the game as it was just a shambolic performance all round.

Think I heard that Salisu is still out

Had made it all the way up to the top of the Milton, turned around just in time to see the ball arrow into the goal. Que massive bundle to get back onto the terrace again. Fun times!

Always thought he was a decent manager. Fulham will do well to keep hold of him in the summer

Have to say, very impressed with Fulham at the moment. Two quality goals.

If he takes the Beckham record between now and the end of the season, and we go down, does he stay? I could possibly see this happening. Realistically, he's not getting a start for England, best would be a squad member and there are others ahead of him in that respect. Am sure the usual suspects would be linked with him, if he goes I would expect it to be somewhere like Leicester, Villa or West Ham. He's not getting a move to the top 6 clubs.

Not using this as an excuse, but the ridiculous kick off time and the fact that it's a Wednesday will have meant some won't be able to make the game. Absolutely crazy that the FA still persist with Round 5 games on a week day.

If by some miracle we do escape, would love it to be Bournemouth, Everton and Leeds. Don't think for a minute Wolves and West Ham will get anywhere near relegation. Leicester might have the nerves jangling a bit if we manage to get a result Saturday. Similarly Palace aren't anything special and a few defeats for then could see them draged into it.

Don't worry. They won't. Be us, Leeds and Bournemouth

I think even the most red and white tinted of us are accepting the inevitable now. It's going to take an absolute epic run to see us to safety now. With this mind, what's everyone's preferred relegation buddies? For me, has to be Bournemouth and Everton. Can't stand Leeds either, but would be hilarious to see Everton drop at last. Bournemouth, because I just wouldn't be able to accept them being the only Premier League club in the region.

Yep. That's it for me now too. Losing against teams around you leads to only one outcome.

This. Totally. How many of our starting 11 today would seriously get into another PL team? JWP and Lavia, aside.

Looks like its all about who comes down with us now.

The damage Nathan Jones and Rasmus Ankerson have done to the club this season cannot be over stated.

There we go

First goal wins this, no question.

I disagree. I know we need the points, but any point away from home is a decent one.

From this point, I don't think a point will be a disaster

Just booked tickets online. Looks like they haven't opened up all the stadium
