I’m sure it’s equally as annoying hearing my regular go to ‘grates’ as well (‘I guess’, ‘sort of’, ‘in terms of’ etc!) B

It’s a fine line unfortunately. On the occasions we have been ‘negative’ - people have complained about a lack of balance/perspective! So we’ll keep to the style we have, which is not going too overboard - win, lose or draw!

Thanks Snopper. Glad you enjoy it! Lets hope there is a few more wins for us to discuss/you to listen too...

He answered the phone by saying "Aun-tie" (in a solid Finnish accent....) and it caught me off guard! Thankfully, by the time we got to the end, I was back to calling him "Anti"!

Its another packed episode of TSP this week, as we reflect on Saints 4-1 loss versus Chelsea, before previewing the post-International break fixture against Wolves. If that’s not enough, we have our first Total Recall of this season (alongside Will from Saints Archive) – which features former goalkeeper Antti Niemi – before giving away a #CompletelyDeluded t-shirt to one of our TSP Patrons (thanks to Billy Sh*te for being such a great sport throughout!). With Steve away celebrating his birthday (and watching the NFL!), Ben, Adam and Lucy are the ‘on duty’ TSP87 panelists.

UTS

Saints remain the pride of Hampshire - after a superb 4-0 thrashing of Pompey, down at Fratton Park - and Episode 86 sees us reflect on all our favourite moments from the only South Coast Derby that matters! But, in true Saints style, its not all fun fun fun, as TSP86 also covers a frustrating defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, before previewing next weekend’s Premier League fixture against Chelsea.

Think we were just playing it cool.....in case Saints decided to bottle it! Thanks for listening.

Morning All, It’s a ‘South Coast sandwich’ for us this week, as we reflect on the disappointing loss to AFC Bournemouth, before previewing the 3rd Round Carabao Cup game against Portsmouth. Ben, Adam, Lucy and Glen (aka Billy ****e) chat about some of Ralph Hasenhüttl’s decision-making during the Cherries fixture and also the impact Ryan Bertrand’s belated return had during that game. Finally, as part of our Cup preview, we get the views of a Pompey fan, ahead of Tuesday's Fratton Park Derby.

Team TSP

Thanks SuperSAINT

We dust ourselves off after the international break to chat about an excellent 1-0 win at Sheffield United, Leon Crouch's passing and also Bournemouth's imminent arrival to St. Mary's! Alongside reviewing/previewing the latest Saints fixtures and news, there’s also discussion around one of our listeners question's on ‘the Black Box’! Fact or fiction....

This weekend saw Saints battle for a hard-earned point, against Manchester United, at St. Mary’s. To reflect on the tremendous performances of Oriol Romeu and Jannik Vestergaard, some resolute team defending and also a typically incompetent showing from Mike Dean, are TSP quartet Ben, Adam, Steve and Lucy. Alongside that, Episode 83 covers a TSP FPL update, #AskTSP – which puts our panel to the test with your questions – reaction to the Cup draw against P*rtsmouth and a preview of the next Premier League fixture versus Sheffield United.

‪Ahead of the international break, we’ll be doing an #AskTSP in TSP83.‬ ‪If you’d like to ask the TSP team anything (preferably Saints related...!), then simply comment below here, or e-mail it using totalsaintspodcast@yahoo.com‬ ‪No question too big. No question too small. ‬

Off and running! Yes, thankfully we gained our first points of the new Premier League season, with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Brighton. With Adam heading off for a few days to recover from that, Ben, Steve, Lucy and Glen De La Cour (League One Minus 10) join forces to look back at all the key Amex action in Episode 82. There's also chat on Fraser Forster’s loan to Celtic, a new addition to Ralph's first team coaching staff, and a preview of the upcoming Fulham and Manchester United games.

There were more encouraging signs for Saints this past weekend versus Liverpool, but ultimately it again ended pointless. Episode 81 sees us cover all the key talking points from the St. Mary's fixture, discuss Maya Yoshida’s fabulous gesture towards the Saints Foundation this week, reflect on the first Fans Forum of the season, and catch up with TSP ‘Matt Le Tissier’ Patreon patron, Jamie Pragnell.

Crash! Bang! Wallop! Yes, Saints returned to Premier League action with a bump this weekend – losing 3-0 at Burnley. Episode 80 sees us pick through the bones of a disappointing opening day performance/result - including defensive errors (sigh….!), a deflated Ralph and some typically northern weather. Alongside all that, we cover VAR, Deadline Day and preview next weekend’s Liverpool game. As if that's not enough, sat neatly in the middle, Kristell Gnahm (FC Augsburg fan; Podcast Host of Frauen reden über Fußball) talks to us about what we can expect from Kevin Danso.

Thanks Ben

The "thing in a shirt".....

"I know we're 6-0 down, Adam.........but if we can just get one back....."

I desperately tried to find this clip when researching a previous Total Saints Podcast - featuring Grant Coleman. Sadly, having spoken to a variety of people (including Adam Blackmore), it appears it has forever been 'lost', when Solent converted all their analogue data to digital some years back. It was such a great (and equally woeful!) memory/sound.... Out of interest, for anyone that hasn't heard it but might like to, you can hear me talking to Grant here (from roughly mid-January 2019). He reminisces on those memories working in and around Saints, and the South Coast, during the early-to-mid 90s. A top/lovely guy!

Thanks for joining the FPL.....and good luck!! If we get anywhere near those positions then it’ll be one heck of a happy Pod this season!

Hi SKD Another member makes it a lot easier trying to remain consistent when holidays/unavailability etc. kick in for one (or more) of the Pod panel. Yes, we've done "AskAdam's" before, and I'd be happy to do another one soon. As you say, he can't always 'speculate' on some things. More than happy for any offline questions to be sent to totalsaintspodcast@yahoo.com and I'll sort something out. Thanks B

Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for listening! ??

Morning all, TSP are back for a brand new season – and we've got a new panel member as well! Alongside the TSP 'veterans' (myself, Adam Leitch and Steve Grant), we're delighted to welcome aboard Lucy Highnett, who joins the TSP Express ahead of another year of rollercoaster emotions watching Southampton FC. The first episode of the new campaign (TSP79) sees the group discuss a variety of things, including summer updates, pre-season progress, Saints Macau/China trip, the arrivals of Che Adams and Moussa Djenepo, the ‘return’ of Sofiane Boufal, Charlie Austin and Mario Lemina’s antics, the new Saints management structure, LD Sports and the TSP hopes/expectations for 2019/20 on the pitch. If you'd like to listen then you can via any of these links: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2LKM1yr acast: https://bit.ly/2GLU9L9 iTunes: https://apple.co/2ykVvrm SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/32TgsrH Thanks, and look forward to another season of (hopefully) entertaining those who enjoy listening, Ben P.S. - I don't plan to keep flooding the thread each week with the Pod details, as some don't appreciate that. So, to try and counterbalance, Steve has popped an interim 'banner' at the top of this page, which will link anyone who wishes to listen straight over to our SoundCloud page.

Thanks Snopper. Glad you enjoyed it - and couldn’t agree more. We’re lucky to all support the Club we do!
