Episode 371 - Total Saints Podcast

Saints are back in the play-off places — and they got there in style.In this special midweek episode of the Total Saints Podcast, Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to relive Southampton’s brilliant 5–1 win away at Wrexham, a result that felt like one of the biggest statements of the season so far. The panel look at the fast start, the quality of the attacking play, the strength in depth now available to Tonda, and why this performance suggested Saints may be hitting top form at exactly the right moment.There’s plenty of praise for standout displays across the side, with Finn Azaz, Matsuki, Flynn Downs and Cyle Larin all discussed, while the panel also talk through the frustration over Wrexham’s goal, the referee’s performance, and just how impressive Saints were physically and mentally so soon after the Arsenal game. With five goals, five scorers and a ruthless edge throughout, it was a night that has naturally raised fresh talk of how high this team could still finish.The pod then turns to Saturday’s home clash with Derby County, another huge game in the race for the top six. The team assess Derby’s threats, their absentees, whether Saints can start to build some real daylight, and why the focus and confidence inside this Southampton side now feels so different.There’s also a mention of the return of the pubcast after the Derby game at The Guide Dog, plus a thank you to everyone who has helped the team smash their Saints Foundation fundraising target for this year’s Benali on Tour.

Episode 370 - Total Saints Podcast

Saints are Wembley-bound — and suddenly the mood around Southampton feels completely different.In Episode 370 of the Total Saints Podcast, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to look back on a superb 2-1 FA Cup win over Arsenal at St Mary’s, as Southampton produced one of their best performances of the season to book a place in the semi-finals. From the first whistle, Saints played with bravery, purpose and belief, asking questions of Arsenal rather than simply trying to survive. The panel reflect on the tactical plan, the energy of the performance, the atmosphere inside the ground, and why this result feels significant beyond just the cup itself.There’s plenty of praise for the standout performances on the night, including Ross Stewart’s tireless centre-forward display, Shea Charles’ composed late winner, and a defensive effort that stood up brilliantly against elite opposition. The team also discuss Ryan Manning’s battle with Max Dowman, the growing impact of players stepping in from the squad, and the sense that Tonda is building something with real resilience and clarity. It was a night that felt special in the moment — and one that could yet shape the final weeks of the season.The focus then shifts quickly back to the promotion race, with Saints heading to Wrexham for another huge Championship fixture.

Episode 369 - Total Saints Podcast

Football is back, and Southampton return with one of the biggest games of the season as Arsenal head to St Mary’s for an FA Cup quarter-final under the lights. In this special midweek episode, Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to preview a tie that feels equal parts daunting and exciting, with Saints aiming to keep the 1976 anniversary cup spirit alive and reach the final four.The panel look at Arsenal’s international break disruption, with a remarkable number of players withdrawing from national team duty, and ask whether Mikel Arteta will rotate with one eye on Europe. They also debate whether Saints have to go full strength despite Wrexham and Derby looming large in the league, and which players could be key if Southampton are to cause an upset.There’s discussion around possible team selection, including the fitness of Jack Stephens and Leo Scienza, the role of Ross Stewart and Cameron Archer, and how Saints can best deal with Arsenal’s physicality and set-piece threat. The episode also touches on Daniel Peretz’s comments about his future, England’s frustrating performances over the international break, and the huge run of fixtures that now lies ahead for Southampton.The episode also includes an update on Benali on Tour, with Martin, Alfie and Alex now past 80% of their fundraising target for Saints Foundation ahead of their Lake District challenge.

Episode 368 - Total Saints Podcast

Saints head into the international break in the top six after a professional 2-0 win over Oxford United at St Mary’s.

The panel discuss Saints’ latest tactical tweak under Tonda, why this side is finding different ways to win, and whether fourth place is now a realistic target heading into the final stretch of the season.

Episode 367 - Total Saints Podcast

Saints are back in the top six — but they had to earn it the hard way.A 1–0 win over an in-form Norwich side at St Mary’s extends Southampton’s unbeaten run to 13 games in all competitions and keeps the momentum firmly in their favour as the season heads into its final stretch. Finn Azaz’s 10th goal of the campaign proved decisive, but this was far from a free-flowing performance. Instead, it was a display built on resilience, discipline, and a growing ability to win games in different ways — something that could prove crucial in the play-off run-in. We break down the key moments from a tense night at St Mary’s, including Daniel Peretz’s standout performance in goal, the physical challenge posed by Norwich, and what this result says about the evolution of this Saints side under pressure.There’s also discussion around the refereeing decisions, tactical tweaks, and whether this team now has the mentality needed for promotion.Looking ahead, attention turns to another crucial home fixture as Oxford United visit St Mary’s — a side fighting for survival and unlikely to make things easy.With momentum building and the stakes rising, Saints are firmly in the play-off fight.

Episode 365 - Total Saints Podcast

We're doing Benali on Tour, please sponsor us if you can! https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echoSouthampton rescued a dramatic late point at The Hawthorns as Cyle Larin’s stoppage-time header secured a 1-1 draw with West Brom and extended Saints’ unbeaten run to eleven matches in all competitions. After the high of knocking Fulham out of the FA Cup just days earlier, Saints struggled for rhythm against a well-organised West Brom side and spent much of the evening looking short of energy and attacking ideas.The result keeps Southampton three points behind Wrexham with ten games remaining in the promotion race, but it also felt like a missed opportunity to tighten the play-off picture. There was also concern over Leo Scienza, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a groin injury – a potential blow to Saints’ attacking options if he misses upcoming fixtures. On this week’s podcast, the panel analyse whether the late point was valuable or frustrating, discuss the impact of Saints’ squad rotation after the FA Cup win over Fulham, and debate whether Cyle Larin should now be leading the line more regularly.Attention then turns to Saturday’s huge away trip to league leaders Coventry City, as Southampton attempt to maintain momentum and keep their promotion hopes alive heading into the final stretch of the season.

Episode 364 - Total Saints Podcast

We're doing Benali on Tour, please sponsor us if you can! https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echoSouthampton are into the FA Cup quarter-finals after a late Ross Stewart penalty secured a 1–0 win at Fulham, extending Saints’ unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions.It was a game of missed opportunities at Craven Cottage. Saints created chances through Scienza, Larin and Azaz, while Fulham also struggled to convert promising moments in a match that rarely found its rhythm. The decisive moment finally arrived in stoppage time when Fin Azaz was brought down in the box and Ross Stewart calmly converted from the spot.The result not only sends Saints into the last eight of the FA Cup but continues the remarkable turnaround under Tonda Eckert. When he arrived, the club sat 21st in the Championship — now Saints are pushing for the play-offs while also making progress in the cup.We break down the key moments from the Fulham game, including the controversial disallowed goal, the missed chances at both ends and the impact of Fulham making nine changes to their side. We also discuss confidence within the squad, the importance of extending the unbeaten run and who stood out in our Player of the Week discussion.The focus then turns quickly back to the league as Saints travel to West Brom on Wednesday night, with the Championship schedule beginning to intensify. With West Brom currently on a long winless run, Saints will be hoping to continue their momentum and keep climbing the table. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 363 - Total Saints Podcast

Saints made it nine unbeaten in all competitions with a 3–1 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough — a result that felt more professional than spectacular, but no less important in the context of the season.All three goals came from defenders, with James Bree continuing his remarkable scoring run, Ryan Manning delivering another superb free-kick just before half-time, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis finishing the job from a corner. It capped off a strong three-game week that produced seven points from a possible nine, nine goals scored and just two conceded.With Saints now only four points off the play-off places, the conversation is starting to shift. Is this still about play-off hope, or has it become expectation? We discuss the growing defensive solidity, the ability to manage games, and the response after Sheffield Wednesday briefly threatened to make it a contest at 2–1. There’s also a reflection on squad depth, rotation under Tonda Eckert, and whether the balance now looks more settled than at any point earlier in the campaign.We also address the ongoing concerns around Ross Stewart’s fitness, Cam Bragg’s contribution in midfield, and what this current run really tells us about Saints’ mentality ahead of a crucial stretch of fixtures.Finally, we look ahead to Fulham away in the FA Cup. Is it a chance to test ourselves against Premier League opposition, or should full focus remain on promotion?Nine unbeaten. Momentum building. The season is very much alive. Hosted on Acast.

Please sponsor us if you can! - https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echoSaints responded in style.After the frustration of Charlton, Southampton delivered a five-star performance at St Mary’s, thrashing QPR 5–0 to climb to 7th in the Championship and reignite the playoff push.In this episode of the Total Saints Podcast, we look back at a dominant display that saw Finn Azaz back among the goals, Matsuki stake a serious claim for a starting place, and Cyle Larin impress on his first league start with some powerful hold-up play. We also discuss James Bree’s knack for spectacular goals, Daniel Peretz’s clean sheet obsession, and whether Saints are finally building real momentum at the right time.With 38 points taken from 21 matches under Tonda Eckert, is this team quietly becoming one of the form sides in the division?The focus then shifts to Hillsborough as Saints head to face Sheffield Wednesday.

Episode 361 - Total Saints Podcast

Southampton were left frustrated once again as a dominant display yielded just a point in a 1–1 draw with Charlton at St Mary’s. Despite 72% possession, 28 shots and nine corners, Saints couldn’t turn control into three points. Ross Stewart’s excellent header gave Saints the lead, but defensive lapses and disruptive substitutions allowed Nathan Jones’ side back into it.We analyse the missed chances, the impact of the substitutions, Flynn Downes’ fire and whether criticism of Finn Azaz and Tom Fellows is fair. With seven games unbeaten but slipping to 11th in a congested table, how damaging could this result prove?Attention quickly turns to QPR on Tuesday night. Level on points with Saints and arriving in solid away form, it’s another big test in a crucial week. We preview the match, discuss selection dilemmas and share our score predictions.There’s also discussion on Saints’ FA fine following the Pompey clash, Fulham away in the FA Cup, and the latest on our Benali on Tour fundraiser for the Saints Foundation.

Episode 347 - Total Saints Podcast

Hello and welcome to Episode 347 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton Football Club.Saturday lunchtime brought an unwelcome throwback for Saints, as old problems resurfaced in a frustrating 2–1 defeat away at Norwich City. Against an injury-hit side rooted in the bottom three, Saints missed chances, struggled to control the game, and were punished by crosses into the box. We look back at a dreadful performance that we never truly looked like winning — and ask whether this was simply a bad day or a more worrying sign.We also turn our attention to another lunchtime kick-off, with league leaders Coventry City heading to St Mary’s. On paper, it looked like a mouth-watering fixture. After the weekend, it suddenly feels like a far tougher test.In This EpisodeNorwich Review – A 2–1 defeat at Carrow Road as Saints struggle to impose themselves against a bottom-three sideWhat Went Wrong – Missed chances, defensive issues, and a worrying return of old habitsCoventry Preview – Can Saints respond against the league leaders at St Mary’s?Support the PodcastPatreon: https://patreon.com/TotalSaintsPodcastMerch: https://shop.totalsaints.co.ukSocials: @TotalSaintsPod on all platformsWebsite: https://totalsaints.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
