    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-echo Southampton 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.

    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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 362 - Total Saints Podcast

    Thanks to everyone who’s helped us reach 26% of our Benali On Tour target so far. Please sponsor us if you can! - https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echo Saints 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. We’re joined by football writer and Wednesday fan Paul Hirst to discuss the Owls’ off-field turmoil, relegation reality, and what Saints can expect on Saturday. With four consecutive away games coming up, this could define the season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    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. Hosted on Acast.

    We're doing Benali on Tour! Please support us if you can! https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast Saints are into the FA Cup 5th Round after a 2-1 extra-time win over Leicester City at St Mary’s. James Bree struck the winner yet again in cup competition, while Cyle Larin converted from the spot and a number of academy players were given valuable minutes in what Alfie described as a big day for the club’s young talent . We reflect on the resilience shown, Romeu’s return to the starting line-up, Cam Archer’s difficult week, and what Larin offers going forward. We also discuss Bree’s future and whether a new contract should be on the table. Attention then turns to the league as Nathan Jones returns to St Mary’s with Charlton. Saints are building momentum at just the right time, with a crucial run of fixtures ahead in the race for the play-offs. Can they keep the feel-good factor going? Elsewhere, we touch on Saints Women’s 2-0 win over Bristol City, injury concerns, and the potential fixture reshuffle following the FA Cup draw. Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 359 - Total Saints Podcast

    Saints were 3-0 down at half-time… and won 4-3. In an extraordinary night at the King Power Stadium, Southampton overturned a three-goal deficit for the first time in club history. What looked like a season-ending collapse turned into one of the most dramatic victories Saints fans have ever seen. Martin is joined by Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus Ten) and Alfie House (Daily Echo) to break down a chaotic first half, a stunning second-half turnaround and Shea Charles’ 96th-minute winner. We also discuss Ross Stewart’s growing importance, what this result means for the playoff push, and whether this could be a defining moment in the season. Plus, we look ahead to Leicester again in the FA Cup and consider how much rotation Saints should make. Thanks to our TSP Patrons and to sponsors Paul Castle Associates and Steam Town Brewery for supporting the show. We’ll see you Sunday at 7pm. Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 358 - Total Saints Podcast

    A home win, a clean sheet, and a debut goal with the first touch. Saints 1–0 Watford might not have been a classic, but it felt like progress — and suddenly, belief is creeping back in. In Episode 358, the panel look back at a hard-fought win over Watford, discuss the impact of switching back to a proper back four, and assess a dream debut for Cyle Larin. There’s also praise for Wellington, renewed optimism around Flynn Downes, and a chat about whether James Bree should be on set pieces full-time. We then turn attention to Leicester City, who Saints face twice in five days — starting with Tuesday night’s league clash at the King Power. With Leicester hit by a six-point deduction and sliding toward the relegation zone, the panel ask whether Saints can take advantage… despite a poor record away there. Hosted on Acast.
