I know the police are saying drug use is becoming a bigger issue at football matches. Don't know if it's related or if those who have been arrested for hitting footballers were under the influence in some way

For those alive at the time of Heysel, was there a lot of anger towards Liverpool in this country for the subsequent ban on English clubs? Or was the anger more directed towards UEFA?

In a minority here but I liked Salisu's throw ins. We definitely did create some good chances from them. Am I right in saying JWP's goal against Spurs came from it?

The correct decision. Things simply have to change, and I back Ralph to be the one to lead our revival. Next up, a cull of the playing squad please. If he is backed in the transfer window and we bring in coaches, I assume Ralph will have a say in who they are, I believe we will improve. However, my view if there is no improvement or sign of improvement by the time we break for the World Cup, I think Ralph's position will be untenable.

It's The Sun.

I would be angry if we sell him to West Ham. A Champions League team I could just about accept, reluctantly.

Here are the answers Posted yesterday at 16:09 Some quiz questions to keep everyone occupied. I don't think the answers are googleable. I'll reveal the answers later this week. As it's 20 seasons at St Mary's, it's all based around our home stadium and some stats I've looked up. Only competitive games count, so ignore any friendlies, testimonials etc. 1. Crystal Palace (Man Utd next on 17, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal on 16) 2. MK Dons and Yeovil. Luton and Tranmere also 100% records but we've played them 3 times. 3. Norwich. Only defeat came in 2008. In fact it's been 10 years since they've even left with a point. Next best is Leeds and then Everton. 4. Man Utd and Chelsea. Only ever beaten them once at home. 5. Bolton - 2 draws, 3 defeats 6. Fulham - let's hope we continue that run next season... After them it's Hull (4 wins, 3 draws), Sheff Wed (4 wins, 2 draws) and Coventry (3 wins, 3 draws) 7. It has happened before under Ralph - it was part of the sequence including a certain loss to Leicester in 2019 which we won't mention. We then won 4 of the next 6 so all was forgiven. 8. Kane and Son. In fact Kane also scored once for England at SMS so he holds the outright record if you include internationals. Vardy, Giroud, Van Persie and Lukaku all on 5. 9. Brighton - he got 4, including a hat-trick in the Championship. 10. Andreas Jakobsson, Danny Higginbotham and Jos Hooiveld the unlucky defenders.

1. Man City. Liverpool. Chelsea. 2. Slightly tongue in cheek but their best player wanted to leave to fulfil his ambitions

A team who win trophies for one thing Spurs have as much chance of winning the league and Champions League as we do.

I'd like to think JWP is more ambitious than Spurs, the serial trophy bottlers. I know we can't talk but come on.

2500 I think. There was a block at the far end they had behind the goal

Some quiz questions to keep everyone occupied. I don't think the answers are googleable. I'll reveal the answers later this week. As it's 20 seasons at St Mary's, it's all based around our home stadium and some stats I've looked up. Only competitive games count, so ignore any friendlies, testimonials etc. 1. Which team has Southampton played more often at St Mary's than any other? (18 times) 2. Southampton have 100% records at St Mary's against 23 teams (yes really!). Two of those opponents are teams we've played 4 times (the most of these 23). Name them both. 3. Out of the 21-22 Premier League teams, which team do we have the best record against? (winning 10 and losing just once) 4. Which two teams have beaten Saints at St Mary's more than any other? (both with 11 wins against us) 5. Which team has Southampton played the most matches at St Mary's against without having ever beaten them? (5 matches) 6. Which team has Southampton played the most matches at St Mary's against without ever having lost to them? (8 matches) 7. Only twice have Southampton lost 4 consecutive games at St Mary's in a row. We were on such a run before we beat Arsenal 1-0 in April. When was the last time it happened? 8. Two opposition players have scored 6 times at St Mary's against Southampton, more than any other. Name them (hint - they are still playing today so could easily add to their total soon) 9. Rickie Lambert by far has scored the most amount of goals at St Mary's. Which team did he score more goals against at SMS than any other? 10. Three Southampton players have the dubious record of scoring the most own goals at St Mary's - 2 each. Name them (hint - they are all defenders)

I could reverse that argument by saying JWP and Romeu have come on leaps and bounds under Ralph... Not everything is the manager's fault.

McCarthy is fine as a number 2. He made a good save from Vardy's initial shot before they scored from the rebound btw. Not sure he can be blamed really today.

New Goalkeeper and new centre back absolutely are the priorities. After that an attacking flair player but sort the defence out first please.

It is based on us revamping the squad in the summer. If that doesn't happen I'll be concerned!

Away end was brilliant. "Booing" of Ralph was a minority, most fans, including everyone around me, were clapping him. Confident with new signings will bounce back better next season

Yup, agreed. We sold Lovren for Van Dijk, Lallana for Tadic/Mané, you could go on and on. We've done it before, we can do it again.

Close enough in colour for our fans to still chant Yellllows?

I'll be on the beers on the train up, in the stadium, and on the train home. Hopefully it'll be a fun day out, our fans will have a good sing song, not too fussed about the football tbh

Seen a few people suggest they will go dressed like they're off for a day on the beach, which is very apt I feel

Let's hope we can at least end the season with some dignity and not finish below Everton No idea what the team should be. I'd go back to the February team (or as close as possible to it)

Really, really poor. I've come to the conclusion Ralph isn't the problem, it's the players. I want the squad overhauled. A new goalkeeper, a new centre back, another winger and a striker the bare minimum
