Unless mistaken, the 'kit' was for sale on the Under Armour site previously. Surely they'd not be able to do that (sell 'false goods') if it wasn't real - especially when it was tagged as "Southampton 2018-19 Home Kit" etc. So I think its clear the 'kit' is the kit, but this is just trying to get some hits their side, and hold some form of suspense (if there is indeed any really left....)

Yes, as SuperSAINT has pointed out, our final Podcast of the season - Total Saints Podcast Episode 38 is out. "They think its all over......it is now!" This week Ben and Adam (Leitch) and joined by SaintsWeb's Steve Grant and also the Press Association's own Saints fan, Simon Peach. The Podcast covers: > Premier League survival and 2017/18 reflections. > Mark Hughes - when not if he is appointed. > Les Reed/Recruitment/What next? > 2018/19 season ticket price freeze. Fair or cheeky? > Ralph Krueger's "big interview" - including Adam and Simon's views on just what its like to interview Ralph! > Gao - when will we hear from him? Is it important we hear from him? Does he have a strategy? You can listen to it via: acast: https://bit.ly/2kf3NKz iTunes: https://bit.ly/2rVN3fC SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2KLbnaH Finally, thanks to all of you from SWF who have listened to the Podcast, and enjoyed it. It is much appreciated - as has been your feedback. Also thanks to Steve and the SWF team for allowing us to pop the links on to the forum throughout the season. Enjoy the summer (a much earned chance for us all to relax!) and see you soon! Keep marching in, Ben

Obviously, instead of an emoji, that should say Episode "Thirty Eight"....

Both Simon Peach and Adam Leitch said on Total Saints Podcast last night (Episode 38) that Hughes is 99% done - his contract is just with lawyers to finalise, with the deal being announced any time soon. B

Thanks SuperSAINT - well spotted! Yes, Total Saints Podcast, Episode 36 came out last night, 24 hours after all the drama (on and off the pitch!) in Swansea. As ever we catch up with Adam Leitch, who was in the thick of all of it and discuss: > Premier League survival (almost!) > #hotelgate > #policeescortgate > #libertyarrivalgate > Mark Hughes > Manolo Gabbiadini > And other 'stuff' There are several ways to listen to the Podcast: SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2wyisZY acast: https://bit.ly/2wv03NR iTunes: https://bit.ly/2wrUK0J Enjoy the weekend everyone. Surely a 10-goal swing is safe.......even for Saints! Cheers Ben

Its a quick turnaround for Saints' game at Swansea now - but TSP35 has proven even quicker! After an emotional rollercoaster of a weekend, Ben (Stanfield) and Adam (Leitch) discuss: 'Goodison Park' - a traumatic 96 minutes, with a sickening twist at the end. Featuring Nathan Redmond, Ryan Bertrand......and Jonathan Moss(!!!!) Massive Swansea away game - win or bust!? Daily Echo, Player of the Season Award - why, despite tradition, Adam and the team at the Daily Echo have decided to run this award in light of the poor season Saints have had. How far Adam has travelled (home and away) this season to watch Saints. A figure which leaves him questioning some life decisions...

Evening all, Its been a couple of weeks (apologies - FA Cup schedule was a nightmare in terms of trying to produce 'quality' Podcast content!) Anyway, TSP34 is available now. On this week's Episode we discuss: * A massive 3 points against Bournemouth. * Survival chances - based on the here and now. * Everton away - a wretched record there, but a chance no doubt! We're also joined by local Southampton Independents Councillor for Redbridge, Andrew Pope, and also John Bailey (SaintsFC Podcast) to discuss Safe Standing. Momentum is building for the Government to debate Safe Standing - with many feeling its 'when not if' Clubs in the top two Divisions are given the go-ahead to trial/install it if they wish. Saints, so far, have yet to publicly back (or reject) it - but Andrew is very much behind trying to drive it through, as he outlines on the Podcast. You can listen to the Podcast via any of these channels: > SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2vWWnEl > acast: https://bit.ly/2I5i0XV > iTunes: https://apple.co/2xfUrWq Thanks as always for your listens/comments/feedback. Up the Saints! Ben

Think there's going to be a few interesting Total Saints Podcast's coming up in the next few weeks....

For anyone that would like to listen, Episode 33 of Total Saints Podcast is out this week. As ever we aim to try and cover as many of the talking points, in and around Saints, as we can, including: Chelsea - PL heartbreak & FA Cup Semi-Final Wembley ticket pricing Marcus Alonso/Mike Dean Leicester City fixture Matty Targett's comments whilst on loan at Fulham (re lack of contact from Saints) The legendary Rickie Lambert picking up his Sir Tom Finney EFL Award Joining Adam and Ben for some of the Podcast is Garry Hayes, who spent 15 years working for Chelsea and is now producing an independent documentary about the Club, called The Blue Print. He gives his views on Chelsea this season, the league game last weekend and also on Wembley this Sunday. As ever there are several ways to listen, depending on which channel you prefer: acast: https://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: https://bit.ly/2wrUK0J SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2EVUtCX Thanks as always to those of you who take the time to listen - despite how depressing things are on the pitch currently!

Some of them rightly deserve to be wiped from memory, Jackie! Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it.

You’re more reliable than we are, SuperSaint!

Episode 32 - Total Saints Podcast Another week. Another Podcast. Another Saints defeat. Its an all too familiar pattern this season for Southampton fans. Despite a more committed display at Arsenal (well, certainly compared to last week at West Ham anyway!), it was still zero points collected and another step nearer relegation. Ben Stanfield (host of TSP), Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer at the Southern Daily Echo) and Richard Brereton (Saints fan and Head Writer/Editor of Saints Panel) join forces to reflect on the Arsenal game, as well as to desperately search for some hope and optimism ahead of next week's fixture at St. Mary's, against Antonio Conte's Chelsea. Things certainly look bleak for Saints now, with just 6 Premier League games left to play. Alongside that, with the sole purpose to try and lighten the mood (hopefully!), Richard and Ben also rattle through their "Worst Saints Premier League XI's", with some familiar names securing their places - including Ali Dia! But who'd be in yours? Feel free to let us know SWF folk! You can listen to the Podcast via the following sites: acast: https://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: https://apple.co/2xfUrWq SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2GOnS3O

Thanks Batman!

Thanks. Very kind (and appreciated) of you to share

Yep, it’s been a catalogue of errors. A collective ‘you know what’. The worry is that'll make accountability very hard to pinpoint/acknowledge at the end of the season!!

Thanks for the feedback, it is appreciated

You can now find Episode 31 of Total Saints Podcast online. Available to listen to via any of these sites: acast: https://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: https://apple.co/2FiJ0zk SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2ImHPzf Obviously we (Adam Leitch and Ben Stanfield) discuss the shambles (another one!) at West Ham (somehow worse than Newcastle as well!). We also look at the upcoming Arsenal game. To lighten the mood in the middle (well, hopefully!), we also have the best from last week's official opening of the Southampton FC and SeaCity Museum "We March On: Then and Now" Exhibition, celebrating 132 years of memorabilia and stories about our great Club (and City). Speakers include Cllr. Satvir Kaur, Lawrie McMenemey, Matthew Le Tisser, Nelly Gao (daughter of our owner, Gao Jisheng) and also our Chairman, Mr Krueger. The Exhibition is well worth a visit for any Saints lover - at only £3.50 a ticket. Another positive..........there's only a very small section on our current bunch!!!! Willing the season to end as quickly as possible, B

Thanks for the feedback. It’s much appreciated and good to hear you enjoy them. On average we get around 900 plays of each episode, and from right around the globe as well. Obviously never going to be as much traffic as some of the biggest Clubs around, but we do it for the enjoyment (often of having a ‘rant’) more than trying to take over the world anyway.

It may be the 'international break', but that hasn't stopped our latest Episode of Total Saints Podcast (Ep. 30). On this week's Pod we cover off: * Our FA Cup Quarter-Final triumph against Wigan Athletic. * Mark Hughes - what we've made of him so far. * The much needed (imminent) return of Charlie Austin. * Saints 'record breaking' financial figures for 2016-17 - and particularly if/how Saints should use those to look at St. Mary's season ticket prices. * The crucial next match, this coming weekend, against West Ham United. There are several ways/options to listen to the Podcast: acast: http://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: http://apple.co/2FiJ0zk SoundCloud: https://bit.ly/2G7KnEO Thanks for the ongoing feedback, and also to the Moderators for supporting us (and the other folk wishing to do so) in posting our material for anyone who wishes to listen. Fingers crossed for 3 points at West Ham!

Total Saints Podcast, Episode 29 sees us welcome back the owner of this fabulous site, Steve Grant. Alongside Adam Leitch and Ben Stanfield, Steve discusses Pellegrino's exit from Saints (finally) and a new manager arriving (finally), in Mark Hughes. There is also a clip of Greg Baker (Head of Saints Foundation) talking about the new Southampton FC 'We March On' exhibition, opening at the SeaCity Museum on the 29th March. Finally, despite being included in Episode 28 as well (as it was only 4 days ago - before the Club decided they'd outdate that Episode for us as quickly as they could!), Barry Worthington - Wigan Athletic fan, and host of Progress with Unity Podcast - helps us preview this weekend's FA Cup Quarter Final. 3 simple (and free) ways to listen: acast: http://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: http://apple.co/2FiJ0zk SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/2DsLusp Up the Saints!

Billy Sh*te did offer his services this week, but I think it would have literally been 60 minutes of "bleeping"..... Anyway, the family friendly version (TSP28) will be out later tonight

Episode 27 of Total Saints Podcast is online now. Adam Leitch again joins me (Ben Stanfield) to discuss all things Saints - which, lets face it, have been practically the same things for about the last 8-10 weeks! Anyway, I digress... In attempt to not sound too repetitive, this week's topics cover: - The drab 0-0 draw with Stoke City. - Josh Sims/Nathan Redmond. - Pellegrizzzzzzzzno - Whether Adam thinks (like Ben does!) that Saints are lucky fans aren't showing more discontent at the current state of affairs - on and off the pitch. - Points predictions between now and the end of the season - including fans opinions (spoiler: general views = we're in the sh*t!) - The probable drab encounter with Newcastle next weekend. Its a Podcast of frustration, worry, passion and even a little cynicism - which should hopefully keep some of our 'fans' happy (**Cough....SuperSAINT....!**) As ever there are several ways to listen to the Podcast: acast: http://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: http://apple.co/2FiJ0zk SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/2FggaTD As ever we appreciate your feedback, comments, things that we can improve on, things that we should talk about, things that we shouldn't, whether we're actually any good at Podcasts etc! I'm off to Newcastle myself next week. Can't wait!! Ben

Have to be honest, I’m of exactly the same disposition... B

“It was abysmally bad. Just a terrible terrible game of football” Adam Leitch was pulling no punches on this week's Total Saints Podcast (Episode 26). He was very unimpressed by Burnley, Bobby Madley and particularly Saints - who, he felt, missed out on an excellent opportunity to pick up 3 much needed points. Alongside reviewing another Pellegrino-led shambles at Turf Moor, we also cover off: ☀️ Warm weather training camps FA Cup QF fixture farce Supporters panel ⚽️ And preview next weekend's Stoke City fixture (including another 'negative prediction' from yours truly. Apologies!) You can listen to the Podcast through any of the following channels: acast: http://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: http://apple.co/2FiJ0zk SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/2EZr9wt Happy listening and, as ever, any comments/feedback is always welcome - I promise we still love Saints really! Cheers Ben

Evening all, The latest Podcast is available now - Episode 25. We (Ben, Adam, Robbie and Mark Taylor) celebrate another win against West Brom (they're getting a bit boring now, eh.....), discuss Alex McCarthy's great form (*curse klaxon*), and look ahead to the Burnley game this coming weekend. Even more importantly than that, Mark - who suffers from Myeloma - talks about his challenge battling cancer, and how the love and support he gets from fellow Saints fans helps him fight on. Very inspiring (and humbling) to record/listen to. Anyway, the links to TSP 25 are here: acast: http://bit.ly/2qCeo8a iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/totalsaints-podcast/id1268769885 SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/2HtYod1 Fingers crossed for a decent result up at Turf Moor this Saturday, UTS Ben
