Crash, bang, wallop! Yep, Saints are back….

Its been a tough first week of the season for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men. Defeat to Crystal Palace has now been followed up by the Carabao Cup exit (vs Brentford) and a humiliating second-half capitulation against Spurs.

TSP129 sees Ben Stanfield, Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and The Athletic’s Dan Sheldon trying to pick the bones out of a frankly horrible start to 2020/21.

Prior to previewing next weekend’s trip to Burnley, Francisco Fourcade (Southampton FC Argentina) also joins the Pod this week, as he helps kick off our new ‘TSP - International Supporters Club’ feature.

This week, ahead of the disappointing 1-0 Premier League defeat at Crystal Palace, Total Saints Podcast spoke exclusively to Saints manager, Ralph Hasenhüttl (23:00)

In a brief catch up, Ralph spoke about his hopes for 2020/21, how important James Ward-Prowse has become, the new 4-year deal and…..cows and mountains!

Featuring your regular panel of Ben Stanfield, Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and The Athletic’s Dan Sheldon, the episode provides further analysis on that frustrating opening day loss.

Alongside all the above, TSP128 covers a potential American takeover of the Club (or not…), previews the Carabao Cup fixture against Brentford and also looks ahead to Spurs visit to St Mary’s (33:30 onwards).

Can you smell that? Yes, the new Premier League season is just around the corner now!

TSP127 sees your regular TSP panel preview Saints first game of the new campaign - away to Crystal Palace. Given Saints dreadful opening day record, can they secure anything from Selhurst Park? Listen in and hear what the guys have to say.

This TSP episode also includes the first edition of ‘Red and White Insight – life inside our Club’, featuring Saints CEO, Martin Semmens (35:00).

Mr Semmens talks about a number of successes and challenges within the Club over recent times, including the impact of Coronavirus, securing Ralph Hasenhuttl to a new deal, potential contract extensions for key first-team players, sponsorship issues, the Saints Women’s team and more.

After 2-3 weeks of significant stress, emotion and pondering, your TSP Host, Ben Stanfield, is back with a short update on hopes of continuing the Podcast into Season 2020-21 after all.

Quite simply, this has been down to the overwhelming support we've received from TSP listeners since originally announcing it would retire at the end of 2019-20.

Many of the messages (which are still being received even today...) have mixed disappointment/sadness with a strong imploration that we do all we can to carry on.

With that in mind, and after much discussion, we're hopeful that it can/will be prolonged - as long as the 'producing a quality listen' vs 'managing Pod/life' balance is achieved.

So, if you're one of those listeners who is willing to back us, and become a TSP patron, please follow the 'Become a Patron' section via: https://www.patreon.com/TotalSaintsPodcast

Finally, wherever you are in the world, thank you for all your messages over the past few weeks. They have meant so much to all of us on the team and are ultimately why we'll now be trying our best to 'keep the show on the road'!

Keep Marching In!

3 years ago – complete with clunky opening soundtrack (and, arguably, two even clunkier sounding ‘podcasters’) – Total Saints Podcast was born.

125 episodes later, we’ve achieved 200,000 global listens and enjoyed many laughs, shared many frustrations and argued many disappointments. It’s been some journey!

Unfortunately, dear TSP listener, that journey is now at an end.

TSP125 ‘The Final Countdown’ sees Ben Stanfield (Host) joined by Steve Grant (SaintsWeb) and Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) for one final ‘hurrah’ – reviewing Saints last game of 2019-20, the 3-1 win versus Sheffield United.

In this bumper final episode, some of our favourite partners and journalists also join in, sharing their opinions on Saints Player of the Season, Most Improved Player, their ‘one to watch’ in 2020-21 and ‘one wish’ for the next 12 months.

Happy Hot Tubs, Saints Archive, SaintsWorld, Dan Sheldon, Andrew Pate, Joe Prince-Wright and Simon Peach all feature.

Finally, as the referee prepares to blow for full-time, an old TSP friend also pops in, for a ‘must attend’ chat….

Thank you TSPers and goodbye! :(
