    South Coast Derby Preview: Southampton v Portsmouth | TSP 395

    Football is almost back – and there’s no easing ourselves into it, with Portsmouth heading to St Mary’s for the first South Coast Derby of the season. Before turning our attention to Pompey, we discuss the continuing wait for a decision from the FA following Tonda Eckert’s hearing. Ten days on and Saints are still without an answer, leaving uncertainty hanging over the club as preparations begin for one of the biggest games of the season. We’re then joined by Andy from the PO4Cast to get the Portsmouth perspective ahead of Sunday’s derby. We discuss Pompey’s start to the campaign, their injury problems, Jayden Meghoma, uncertainty in goal and what John Mousinho’s side might bring to St Mary’s. Back on the Saints side, there are injury concerns of our own. Daniel Peretz has withdrawn from international duty, potentially opening the door for Aaron Ramsdale, while Cyle Larin is also being monitored after picking up a back problem with Canada. We discuss who should start in goal if Peretz misses out, the latest on Casper Jander and whether Saints’ excellent home form can continue against their rivals. Plus, the panel make their South Coast Derby score predictions, we look ahead to TSP’s upcoming 400th episode, and round up the other Saints stories from the week. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Daily Echo Southampton reporter Dan Hargraves. TSP is proudly supported by our community of Total Saints on Patreon.

    Wrexham Frustration & Tonda’s FA Hearing | TSP 394

    Southampton’s away struggles continued this weekend as Saints fell to a frustrating 2-1 defeat at Wrexham. Despite dominating large parts of the first half and creating enough chances to take control of the game, Saints failed to make their opportunities count before defensive mistakes proved costly. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to discuss Cyle Larin’s difficult afternoon, Leo Scienza’s injury, James Ward-Prowse getting back amongst the goals and whether Southampton’s lack of quality beyond the starting XI is beginning to show. There’s also a potentially significant week ahead for the club, with Tonda Eckert’s FA hearing reportedly set for Thursday. The panel discuss the possible outcomes, the difference between a touchline ban and a wider suspension from football activity, whether Saints could appeal any sanction and what the club might do if Eckert becomes unavailable. Elsewhere, the team discuss the response to Wrexham’s pre and post-match social media posts, Friday’s planned behind-closed-doors friendly against Aston Villa, the latest on Casper Jander, Southampton Women’s goalless draw with Sunderland and the wider issue of Premier League clubs recruiting academy players at increasingly young ages.

    Cyle Larin Does It Again! Saints Put Four Past Bristol City | TSP 393

    Another four goals at St Mary’s and another starring performance from Cyle Larin as Southampton beat Bristol City 4-1. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to look back at a scoreline which perhaps didn’t tell the full story of the afternoon. Bristol City caused Saints plenty of problems, but Southampton were clinical when the opportunities arrived — with Larin scoring twice, Kuryu Matsuki finding the net and Finn Azaz finishing the game with another hugely productive performance. The panel discuss Larin’s remarkable start to the season, Azaz’s influence, Matsuki’s growing case for a regular starting place, Nathan Wood’s performances in defence and the impact of Cameron Bragg and Divin Mubama from the bench. There’s also the chaotic build-up to Southampton’s second goal, Flynn Downes’ injury and the continuing wait for a first clean sheet. Attention then turns to the final game before the extended international break as Saints travel to Wrexham. With Southampton still looking for their first away win of the season, can they take their devastating St Mary’s form on the road and head into the Portsmouth game with serious momentum? The team also discuss the ongoing FA situation surrounding Tonda Eckert, Casper Jander’s potential return, Cyle Larin’s Championship Player of the Month award and the latest from Southampton Women and the Under-21s.

    Southampton 3-1 Swansea: Are Saints Starting to Look Serious? | TSP 392

    Southampton made it three Championship home wins from three with an impressive 3-1 victory over Swansea City at St Mary’s — and arguably their best performance of the season so far. Martin Starke is joined by Daily Echo Saints reporter Alfie House, freelance football writer Tom Prentki and Rob Maddox (SaintRob) to look back at a night when Southampton’s attacking quality really began to click. The panel discuss Finn Azaz’s influence, Leo Scienza’s best performance of the season, another excellent display from Flynn Downes and the increasingly promising midfield partnership between Downes and James Ward-Prowse. There’s also plenty of praise for Nathan Wood and Keven Schlotterbeck, discussion over whether Downes should be Southampton’s regular captain and a look at the nervous moments inside St Mary’s when Saints continued to play out from the back at 2-1. The atmosphere is another major talking point. Has moving the home support into the full Northam End finally created the advantage Saints hoped for — and is the Northam Wall now playing its part in Southampton’s outstanding home form? Attention then turns to another big Championship test as Bristol City visit St Mary’s on Saturday. Michael Skubala’s side arrive in excellent form after three consecutive wins, with former Saint Dom Ballard among a heavily revamped squad. We assess their strengths, the threat from set pieces, Southampton’s likely starting XI and ask whether another victory would confirm a genuinely strong start to the season. Plus, the panel discuss Aaron Ramsdale being named in Southampton’s official EFL squad and make their predictions for Saints against Bristol City.

    Lincoln Frustration, Eckert Questions & Swansea Preview | TSP 391

    Southampton were minutes away from their first Championship away win of the season before Lincoln City’s late equaliser left Saints reflecting on another two points dropped—and raised fresh questions about Tonda Eckert’s game management. Martin Starke is joined by Alfie House, Tom Prentki and Martin Sanders to examine the 1-1 draw, from Welington’s spectacular goal and James Ward-Prowse’s return to the substitutions that allowed Lincoln to take control. Did the late switch to a back three invite unnecessary pressure, and does Eckert have enough quality on the bench to change matches? Those concerns lead directly into Tuesday night’s meeting with unbeaten Swansea City at St Mary’s. Freelance sports journalist George Rees-Julian joins the panel to explain Swansea’s impressive start, where they can be exposed and how Saints may need to change their midfield and defensive setup to get the result. Plus, the panel discusses Keven Schlotterbeck’s encouraging start, Jay Robinson scoring on loan and the latest TSP Player of the Week.

    Did Saints Do Enough? Transfer Window Verdict, Birmingham Draw & Lincoln Preview | TSP 390

    Did Southampton do enough in the summer transfer window—and is this squad genuinely capable of finishing in the Championship’s top two? 🌐 Total Saints: https://totalsaints.co.uk/ ❤️ Join our Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/c/TotalSaintsPodcast 🛍️ Visit the TSP shop: https://shop.totalsaints.co.uk/ With the window now closed, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Alfie House and Tom Prentki to deliver their verdict on Southampton’s summer business. Did Dragan Solak and the owners deliver on their promise to build a team as good as last season? The panel rate the window and discuss the arrivals of James Ward-Prowse, Keven Schlotterbeck and Zach Abbott, the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Ramsdale, Sam Edozie’s situation and whether Saints have left themselves short of depth—particularly in attack. The team also reviews the 1–1 draw away at Birmingham City. Was a point a fair result, who was responsible for the equaliser and which players strengthened their case for a start this weekend? Finally, Kyle from the Stacey West Podcast joins us to preview Saturday’s visit to newly promoted Lincoln City. We discuss Lincoln’s impressive rise, how they may approach the game and whether Ward-Prowse and Matsuki should come into the Southampton starting XI.

    Southampton Thrash Millwall 5-1, Schlotterbeck Shines – Next Stop Birmingham | TSP 389

    Southampton responded in emphatic fashion at St Mary’s, putting five past early Championship leaders Millwall in an impressive 5-1 victory. Neil Crespin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to break down a much-needed Saints win. After another slow start, the panel discusses what suddenly clicked, the attacking performance that followed and whether this can be the result that really gets Tonda Eckert’s side moving. There’s also plenty to say about two very different debuts. Keven Schlotterbeck made an immediate impression at the heart of the defence, while James Ward-Prowse returned to St Mary’s and quickly reminded supporters what he can offer. How much have the pair strengthened this Southampton side? Attention then turns to what could be a frantic Tuesday. Saints travel to Birmingham looking to carry the momentum from the Millwall win, while the transfer window closes later that evening. The panel assesses the possible departures, where the squad could still be strengthened and whether there might be one final deadline-day arrival. But can Saints back it up at Birmingham and start climbing the Championship table? Become a Total Saint TSP is proudly supported by our Patreon community of more than 600 Saints fans.

    Southampton 1-4 West Ham, Ward-Prowse Return? & Millwall Preview | TSP 388

    Alarm bells are ringing after Southampton suffered a dismal 4-1 Carabao Cup defeat to a heavily rotated West Ham side at St Mary’s. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to examine one of the worst performances of the Tonda Eckert era. The panel discusses the worrying lack of intensity, whether the Saints squad looks fit enough and which players emerged from a difficult night with any credit. Attention then turns to the final days of the transfer window. Southampton are closing in on experienced Augsburg defender Keven Schlotterbeck, while reports of a possible return for James Ward-Prowse emerge during the podcast. Would bringing the former Saints captain home make sense, and how much business does the club still need to complete? Finally, Alex Grace from That Millwall Podcast joins the show to preview Saturday’s meeting with the early league leaders. After the West Ham humiliation, can Saints produce the response supporters need to see? Become a Total Saint TSP is proudly supported by our Patreon community of more than 600 Saints fans.
