Concentrating on the leagues...

Southampton 3 West Ham 1 (FA Cup)

It's on to BBC iPlayer for live coverage of this difficult away cup tie on the south coast. Some 5000 Irons fans are present and the cries of "Tottenham get battered everywhere they go!" come across clearly on the tele.

The Saints have made nine changes while Moyes makes just two. The Hammers start well and should capitalise on early pressure when Antonio crosses for Bowen to head over when well placed. Soucek scuffs a couple of chances wide but after half an hour the game turns when left-back Perraud thumps home a swerving shot from outside the box. It's a great effort though Areola appears caught off guard by it.

At the break the Saints bring on Broja and Stuart Armstrong to pose more problems. In a way that summarises the difference between the two squads. We have just Antonio while Southampton have four strikers in Stuart and Adam Armstrong, Broja and Shane Long, or maybe five if you add Theo Walcott.

The second half begins with Ward-Prowse going close before the Hammers force a series of corners. Thankfully for us Caballero drops a corner, Diop pokes it across the box and Antonio taps home an easy goal. Could the Cup Final breakfast at Nigel's gaff in Kew be back on?

Actually not. Dawson appears to have made a good tackle on Broja but the decision goes to sodding VAR. The ref has to look at three replays on his monitor but ultimately gives the penalty. To me it seems that Broja is looking for the foul and goes down when he could shoot. Ward-Prowse puts it down the middle and scores.

Soucek goes off with a bloody head injury and my WhatsApp feed is running hot with the Vicar's Son berating late subs Benrahma and Vlasic. Benrahma tries his best though with little effect to create something against a well-drilled defence and the side do have some late attacks. Dawson very nearly equalises after a corner when Caballero makes a fine reflex save from his header. 

We're in added time when the speedy Broja, who also terrorised our defence at the London Stadium, drifts inside Dawson, glides past Zouma, who should do better, and then slots it into the corner.

Oh well, it's going to have to be a Europa League Final breakfast at Nigel's gaff now — though I'm not specifying in what year. At least we can now concentrate on the Europa League and the top six so it's still a good season overall. Though the frustrating thing is that we had the chances to get a result here and end 42 years of hurt in the FA Cup. Liverpool and Sevilla away next — what could possibly go wrong?
