Episode 279 - Total Saints Podcast
Welcome to Episode 279 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC. This week, Martin Starke, Steve Grant (Saints Web), Alfie House (Daily Echo), and Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10) discuss the intense first leg of the Championship play-off semi-finals against West Brom, which ended in a goalless draw at The Hawthorns.
In this episode, we dissect the cagey encounter, where Saints managed to hold a clean sheet with a five-man backline. Alex McCarthy’s performance in goal earned him player of the week, making crucial saves to keep the team in contention. Despite the lack of goals, the result leaves everything to play for in the return leg.
Looking ahead, we preview what could be the biggest game of the season this Friday night at St Mary’s. The panel discusses the strategic choices ahead, including whether to stick with the five at the back and potential changes in the forward line. With home advantage on our side, we explore how the Saints can leverage the sold-out crowd to secure a win and a trip to Wembley.
We also feature insights from Chris Hall of the Albion Analysis Podcast, giving a perspective from the opposition’s camp. As the Saints gear up for the decisive match, the panel shares their predictions for the outcome.
We'll be back with our next podcast on Sunday 19th May at 19:15 BST

Episode 277 - Total Saints Podcast
Welcome to Episode 277 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC. This week, Martin Starke and the team, including Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour, and guest George Rees-Julian, wrap up the regular season with a review of the Saints' encouraging win at Leeds and look ahead to the crucial play-off semi-final against West Brom.
In our Leeds review, we discuss how the Saints, confirmed to finish 4th, managed to end the regular season on a high note with a much-needed victory. Despite the low stakes, the team showed promising form, potentially identifying the best XI to propel us through the playoffs. Highlights include a solid first goal orchestrated by Downes and Che, and a standout performance from Kyle Walker-Peters, whose relentless effort led to the second goal.
Turning our focus to the playoffs, we preview the upcoming semi-final first leg against West Brom. We'll analyze past encounters with West Brom this season—a 2-0 victory at The Hawthorns and a 2-1 win at St Mary's—and discuss the potential impact of playoff experience within the squad. With both teams ending the regular season with strong performances, the panel shares their predictions for this critical match.
Also in this episode, we touch on the recent club announcement regarding the appointment of a new manager for the Saints Women's team, with Marieanne Spacey-Cale stepping up to focus on the wider women's and girls' program.

Episode 276 - Total Saints Podcast
Welcome to Episode 276 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC. This week, Martin Starke, Steve Grant (Saints Web), Alfie House (Daily Echo), and Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10) provide a comprehensive review of Saints last home game of the regular season and a look ahead to the final match before the playoffs at Leeds.
In this episode, the panel dissects the lackluster 1-0 defeat to Stoke at St Mary's. Despite promises of a strong response to the recent thumping at Leicester, Saints delivered one of the season's dullest performances, leaving us wondering if the team is ready for the upcoming challenges. Key discussion points include the surprising lineup changes, the lack of on-field impact from key players, and the puzzling decision to present the Player of the Season award during a lap of honour in the rain.
Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming trip to Leeds—a match that initially held significant implications for promotion but now looms as potentially inconsequential due to recent results. The panel will discuss what this game could still mean for Saints as they wrap up a tumultuous season and what fans might expect in terms of player performances and tactical approaches.
Tickets for our live show at Steam Town in Eastleigh on May 9th are now available to all patrons, so check you're Patreon inbox for details on how to get one. We'll be releasing the remaining tickets to the general public on May 1st and we'll post that on our socials.

Episode 275 - Total Saints Podcast
Welcome to Episode 275 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC.
The podcast opens with a candid review of the disheartening 5-0 loss at Leicester, a match that highlighted serious concerns within the team. Despite having 66% possession, Southampton failed to register a single shot on target. Martin Starke and the panel, including Steve Grant (Saints Web), Alfie House (Daily Echo), and Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10), dissect what went wrong, discussing the team's lack of mental toughness and tactical missteps as noted by manager Russell Martin's harsh critique of the game.
In stark contrast to the Leicester debacle, the episode also previews the upcoming final home game of the regular season against Stoke City at St Mary’s. The panel sets the stage for a pivotal match that could help the team regain confidence and momentum as they prepare for the playoffs. Key topics include potential lineup changes in light of injuries and suspensions, with a particular focus on who needs to step up in this critical phase of the season.
This episode not only provides an in-depth look at Southampton's challenges and opportunities but also offers insights into the strategic choices facing the team as they aim to conclude the season on a high note.

Episode 274 - Total Saints Podcast
Welcome to Episode 274 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant (Saints Web), Alfie House (Daily Echo), and Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10) to dissect a week of mixed results for the Saints.
We delve into the frustrating 2-1 defeat to Cardiff, a match Southampton were expected to dominate against a mid-table team with nothing to play for. The panel explores what went wrong, particularly focusing on the forward line's persistent struggles with finishing, despite the team being the league's top scorers.
We review last week's resounding 3-0 victory over Preston North End, highlighting the strategic shifts and standout performances that contributed to the win.
Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming match against Leicester, whilst not as important as it was a few days ago, hopes are high we can come away with more points and a decent performance.
We also touch on significant off-field developments, including the departure of Jason Wilcox, updates on the implementation of safe-standing at St Mary's and the FA Cup removing their replays...

Customer Reviews
Saints fan in the states
Really enjoy the podcast! Been following the team since 2019 and I really enjoy learning about the team and it’s history!
Really enjoy the discussion!
I live in the US and started following Southampton and PL in general at the start of the roller coaster of drama that was last season. This podcast has been a great way to keep up with the team and learn about everything Saints. I listen every week!
Look forward to it every week!
As a Saints supporter in Los Angeles, I can watch the games and read news reports,but don’t hear English Championship talk on the sports news around here. Feels like I’m listening to kindred souls talking about my favorite club. The guys tell it like it is and honestly assess the teams performance each week, while providing humor that is needed as a Saints supporter. Love it.
