Total Saints Podcast - with Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Southern Daily Echo)

[Jackie@home]

Enjoyed your Saints worst elevens from the Premier League - have to say, I'd wiped some of your choices from my memory. Nigel Quashie, how awful was he!

Enjoyed your Saints worst elevens from the Premier League - have to say, I'd wiped some of your choices from my memory. Nigel Quashie, how awful was he!

 

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

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:

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:

Thanks as always for your listens/comments/feedback.

 

Up the Saints!

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...
