Total Saints Podcast - 2025/26

[OldNick]

I thought the new presenter got into it a bit more and got the debate going. Need a bit more different views. Glenn is aserbic but needs someone to get another side to get it a bit more energetic 

[Willo of Whiteley]

TSP is live now, was a delayed start. Already an excellent listen.

Very spot on and level headed.

[AlexLaw76]

"Do you remember what player we bought in to replace Romeu, given Lavia was already injured"

"Remember, it is ingrained in my fucking mind. Ainsley Maitland Niles"

 

😂

Episode 343 – Leicester Review + Millwall Preview

Saints beat Leicester 3–0, which makes it four wins in a row under Tonda Eckert. Harwood-Bellis gets a brace, Azaz is flying, and there’s finally a bit of confidence and structure about us again.

On this week’s episode, we chat through the Leicester game, the red card, set-piece improvement, why everything suddenly looks organised, and whether Tonda’s appointment is now just a matter of time. We also look ahead to Millwall away.

Evening all,

Episode 345 of the Total Saints Podcast is now out!

This week we discuss:

🔴 Tonda Eckert appointed permanent head coach

Thoughts on the 18-month deal, the risks involved, and where the real pressure sits — with Sport Republic.

🔴 Saints 3–1 Birmingham

A strong response after Millwall:

• Scienza outstanding again

• Finn Azaz makes it six in five — first Saint since Danny Ings to do so

• Tom Fellows with a brilliant driving run

• Armstrong delivering as a No.9

• Kyogo with a major miss

• Whether the early subs disrupted the team

• Flynn Downs returning, Shea Charles still to come

• Saints move within 3 points of the play-offs

🔴 West Brom Preview

WBA have lost 7 of their last 8 away games and conceded 15. Big chance for momentum going into a busy December.

We’ll be back on Wednesday night for the midweek pod.

[TotalSaintsPod]

Episode 346 – Saints 3–2 West Brom

New episode of TSP is up after a very “Saints” evening at St Mary’s.

3–0 up and cruising → 3–2 and hanging on.

We talked through all of it, including:

• Scienza + Armstrong looking ridiculous at the moment

• Why we fall off a cliff in the second half

• Set-piece panic

• The Bazunu question (stick or twist in January?)

• Impact of the subs and lack of depth

• Norwich preview with Connor Southwell

🎧 Audio: https://pod.fo/e/363fdc

📺 Video episode: https://youtube.com/live/3hrIxur2n9M

What’s the biggest issue right now — goalkeeper, defending corners, or mentality once we’re ahead?

And who would you realistically look at in January?

Total Saints Podcast – Episode 347: Norwich Review & Coventry Preview

Episode 347 of the Total Saints Podcast is now available.

We react to Saturday’s 2–1 defeat away at Norwich City, where Saints once again struggled to impose themselves against a side in the bottom three.

We also look ahead to Coventry City at St Mary’s, with the league leaders visiting for another lunchtime kick-off.

Great pod this, btw. Only recently started listening but now really look forward to it popping up on a Monday morning.

Nice work 👍

[TotalSaintsPod]

Saints played over 45 minutes against ten men but couldn’t find a winner against Coventry City at St Mary’s.

In this episode we cover:

• Another soft goal conceded
• Why Saints struggled to break down 10 men
• Tactical and substitution questions
• Post-match flashpoints
• Oxford United away on Boxing Day

Was it two points dropped or a fair result?

[TotalSaintsPod]

Episode 349 – Oxford Away Review & Birmingham Preview

Saints’ away struggles continued with a 2–1 defeat at Oxford — plenty of the ball, not enough threat, and another late blow.

Neil Crespin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to break down what went wrong, what’s changed in recent weeks, and why January is starting to feel unavoidable — plus a look ahead to Birmingham away.

[Wade Garrett]

It’s great that none of them seem to be holding back.  Enjoyed listening yesterday and agreed with pretty much everything that was said.

[AlexLaw76]

Good episode again 

 

[Dark Munster]

Nice to hear that they all seem in agreement, including Alfie, that Bazunu is shit. Glen in particular did a good job firing both barrels at that joke of a "goalkeeper".

[TotalSaintsPod]

Saints were held to a 1–1 draw away at Birmingham, in a frustrating match of two very different halves.

We cover:

• Another early concession from a recycled set piece
• Bazunu’s outstanding save to keep Saints in the game
• Substitutions finally making an impact
• Archer back on the scoresheet
• A controversial Saints equaliser and red card
• Whether Saints deserved more
• Previewing Millwall at St Mary’s on New Year’s Day

Interested to hear how others feel about this one...

[TotalSaintsPod]

Total Saints Podcast – Episode 352

Saints end the festive run with a humiliating 4–0 defeat at Middlesbrough, conceding four to a side that hadn’t scored in seven hours of football.

The panel react with raw frustration, questioning the lack of leadership on and off the pitch, dreadful defending, and Tonda Eckert’s continued defence of a five-at-the-back system that leaves Saints 15th, winless in six, and drifting.

We also:

• Question the post-match messaging and in-game management

• Ask whether McCarthy has to return in goal

• Preview the FA Cup trip to Doncaster

• Reflect on four years of Sport Republic: 2 relegations, 7 managers, and mounting fan anger

As ever, keen to hear thoughts from others — especially on where this goes next.

[Fabrice29]

People on this podcast yesterday seemed to be suggesting the Romeu fitness issues told by TE were "bullshit". Do they care to explain why they really think he's being kept out of the team?

What’s your conspiracy theory?

They literally discuss it in detail.

I don’t have a conspiracy theory. I believe he’s unfit and therefore of no use to the first team right now, because I’ve seen it with my eyes. It’s the grumpy typing fella and Alfie House suggesting that’s not true (or bullshit as one put it) and I want to know why, because they didn’t go into that detail.

I reckon they couldn't care less what you want, stooge`s are not a priority to them

You need to rewatch it. 
 

Match fitness required, not in the squad. 
 

Experience player, can contribute in other non playing ways, not in the squad.

Right, I heard all that, so why did they think he was left out then?

Ask the panel if you want to know beyond what they discussed. It seems to be a puzzle from the information they had at hand that didn’t fit the narrative given from the coach.

Yes, that is why I asked in this thread seeing as they normally post the episode.

The narrative from the coach is he's not fit. My eyes and everyone else's presumably can see that too. I don't really understand why it's a puzzle, so hopefully whoever posts the episode can respond. Or the typing guy who updates his blog can address it seeing as it was him who called it bullshit.

Glen posts on here as @L1Minus10 so why not ask him directly?

Right.

So you expected him to notice your query in a thread he didn’t start, that you didn’t tag him in and where you just called him ‘the typing guy’. 

Cool 👍

I asked about the content of the podcast in the thread about the podcast, yes. 👍 

Just as in the same way you noticed the query in a thread you didn’t start, I didn’t tag you in and didn’t call you anything so you never know.
