We dust ourselves off after the international break to chat about an excellent 1-0 win at Sheffield United, Leon Crouch's passing and also Bournemouth's imminent arrival to St. Mary's! Alongside reviewing/previewing the latest Saints fixtures and news, there’s also discussion around one of our listeners question's on ‘the Black Box’! Fact or fiction....

This weekend saw Saints battle for a hard-earned point, against Manchester United, at St. Mary’s. To reflect on the tremendous performances of Oriol Romeu and Jannik Vestergaard, some resolute team defending and also a typically incompetent showing from Mike Dean, are TSP quartet Ben, Adam, Steve and Lucy. Alongside that, Episode 83 covers a TSP FPL update, #AskTSP – which puts our panel to the test with your questions – reaction to the Cup draw against P*rtsmouth and a preview of the next Premier League fixture versus Sheffield United.

‪Ahead of the international break, we’ll be doing an #AskTSP in TSP83.‬ ‪If you’d like to ask the TSP team anything (preferably Saints related...!), then simply comment below here, or e-mail it using totalsaintspodcast@yahoo.com‬ ‪No question too big. No question too small. ‬

Off and running! Yes, thankfully we gained our first points of the new Premier League season, with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Brighton. With Adam heading off for a few days to recover from that, Ben, Steve, Lucy and Glen De La Cour (League One Minus 10) join forces to look back at all the key Amex action in Episode 82. There's also chat on Fraser Forster’s loan to Celtic, a new addition to Ralph's first team coaching staff, and a preview of the upcoming Fulham and Manchester United games.

Ben

There were more encouraging signs for Saints this past weekend versus Liverpool, but ultimately it again ended pointless. Episode 81 sees us cover all the key talking points from the St. Mary's fixture, discuss Maya Yoshida’s fabulous gesture towards the Saints Foundation this week, reflect on the first Fans Forum of the season, and catch up with TSP ‘Matt Le Tissier’ Patreon patron, Jamie Pragnell.

Crash! Bang! Wallop! Yes, Saints returned to Premier League action with a bump this weekend – losing 3-0 at Burnley. Episode 80 sees us pick through the bones of a disappointing opening day performance/result - including defensive errors (sigh….!), a deflated Ralph and some typically northern weather. Alongside all that, we cover VAR, Deadline Day and preview next weekend’s Liverpool game. As if that's not enough, sat neatly in the middle, Kristell Gnahm (FC Augsburg fan; Podcast Host of Frauen reden über Fußball) talks to us about what we can expect from Kevin Danso.

Thanks Ben

The "thing in a shirt".....

"I know we're 6-0 down, Adam.........but if we can just get one back....."

I desperately tried to find this clip when researching a previous Total Saints Podcast - featuring Grant Coleman. Sadly, having spoken to a variety of people (including Adam Blackmore), it appears it has forever been 'lost', when Solent converted all their analogue data to digital some years back. It was such a great (and equally woeful!) memory/sound.... Out of interest, for anyone that hasn't heard it but might like to, you can hear me talking to Grant here (from roughly mid-January 2019). He reminisces on those memories working in and around Saints, and the South Coast, during the early-to-mid 90s. A top/lovely guy!

Thanks for joining the FPL.....and good luck!! If we get anywhere near those positions then it’ll be one heck of a happy Pod this season!

Hi SKD Another member makes it a lot easier trying to remain consistent when holidays/unavailability etc. kick in for one (or more) of the Pod panel. Yes, we've done "AskAdam's" before, and I'd be happy to do another one soon. As you say, he can't always 'speculate' on some things. More than happy for any offline questions to be sent to totalsaintspodcast@yahoo.com and I'll sort something out. Thanks B

Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for listening! ??

Morning all, TSP are back for a brand new season – and we've got a new panel member as well! Alongside the TSP 'veterans' (myself, Adam Leitch and Steve Grant), we're delighted to welcome aboard Lucy Highnett, who joins the TSP Express ahead of another year of rollercoaster emotions watching Southampton FC. The first episode of the new campaign (TSP79) sees the group discuss a variety of things, including summer updates, pre-season progress, Saints Macau/China trip, the arrivals of Che Adams and Moussa Djenepo, the ‘return’ of Sofiane Boufal, Charlie Austin and Mario Lemina’s antics, the new Saints management structure, LD Sports and the TSP hopes/expectations for 2019/20 on the pitch. If you'd like to listen then you can via any of these links: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2LKM1yr acast: https://bit.ly/2GLU9L9 iTunes: https://apple.co/2ykVvrm SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/32TgsrH Thanks, and look forward to another season of (hopefully) entertaining those who enjoy listening, Ben P.S. - I don't plan to keep flooding the thread each week with the Pod details, as some don't appreciate that. So, to try and counterbalance, Steve has popped an interim 'banner' at the top of this page, which will link anyone who wishes to listen straight over to our SoundCloud page.

Thanks Snopper. Glad you enjoyed it - and couldn’t agree more. We’re lucky to all support the Club we do!

Thanks

10 years ago today, on the 8th July 2009, Markus Liebherr saved Southampton FC. And what a ride its been since that moment! Sadly Markus hasn’t been here to enjoy all of it with us but, to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of his takeover, TSP78 is dedicated entirely to our hero. Ben (Host) kicks off the episode by speaking exclusively to Markus’ grandson, Noah Liebherr. Noah discusses his memories of Markus, and his own view of the Southampton journey since 2009. Following that, a handful of respected Saints-related guests - including Tiff Needell, Simon Peach and Joe Prince-Wright - also share their opinions and favourite memories from the last 10 years.

Thanks SuperSAINT. Glad you enjoyed it and, as ever, appreciate the support/feedback. B

TSP77 sees the greatest podcast episode that never happened (sort of), about the greatest kit launch that never happened (sort of)! Yes, it may be the off-season but Total Saints Podcast is still keeping busy. In this Episode Ben catches up with the man behind Black Shark Media, and Southampton FC's fabulous recent 2019-20 kit launch video, James Kibbey. Based on the infamous Fyre Festival, James discusses how the team came up with the idea of 'Saynts Festival' for this year's launch, the challenges around filming and also a potential BAFTA winning performance from Saints manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl!

Our final Podcast of the season (TSP76) is out now, and includes an exclusive interview with Saints manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl. Alongside that we also discuss the Huddersfield game, what the summer could bring, and close off our Prediction League and Fantasy Premier League winners.

Really appreciated - and we look forward to seeing you next season, Ben, Adam and Steve

This week Total Saints Podcast is ‘on the road’, as we record ‘live’ from the 5 Rivers Pub - pre-Huddersfield (so, apologies in advance for any dodgy sound issues!). I'm joined by TSP regular Steve, as well as Freddie from The Ugly Inside and Glen De La Cour (LeagueOneMinus10 Blog). We reflect on Season 2018-19, talk about some of our most memorable moments, discuss which (if any) of the current Southampton FC players out on loan should/will be given a second chance by Ralph Hasenhuttl next year and, finally, which areas of the squad we'd be urgently looking to strengthen this summer.

Thanks Ben

It’s already a fine line between producing these and remaining married... But thanks - and good to hear!

Thanks Snopper. Really appreciate that. Ben
