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.

I’ve listened to a couple of saints podcasts, 99% of which are absolute nonsense and sum up our cringey fan base. However, yours is the exception. Not sure you needed to add another member, but so be it.

 

Any chance of opening up a Q&A section (mainly for Adam - appreciate there are parts he probably can’t answer / tell, but it would be interesting to get a diverse question set...).

This podcast is the perfect little "time-filler" for anyone who supports Saints and has, say... a long commute to and from work, like myself.

 

Many a weary drive home I am interspersed with the analytical musings of messrs Grant and Leitch, and their dolcet tones serenade me down the A3 as I wistfully, joyfully amble my way through Guildford at 15mph at six o'clock in the evening. Sometimes, people stare at me - but I don't care. I really don't.

 

I've got the disembodied voice of Steve Grant chuntering into my lugs, they haven't.

 

That said, sometimes, I've inadvertently shared Steve Grant with others. I didn't mean to, I wanted him to be all mine - but I just let it slip one day. One, fateful, day... not too long ago. I'll set the scene. The sun was beating down on the tarmac outside. It was fast approaching lunch time but with the weather so hot, we retreated inside. The temperature was cooler in the warehouse - little did I know it was about soar, quite dramatically.

 

Being unable to finish to podcast during my normal drive to work, I decided to stream it through the multimedia at work; roughly speaking, it meant Granty's smooth ruminations echoed between three warehouses, appproximately 7,500 sq/ft. And not only could I hear it in surround sound, but my neighbours could too. And my customers.

 

I was just listening to a brief diatribe on recent form, when I was abruptly interrupted by a customer. Thinking it was because of the podcast, I turned it down low.

 

"No, no" she said, grabbing my arm. "Turn it on again, like that guy turns me on" she purred.

 

Awkwardly fiddling with the remote, I slowly brought TSP back. The word "Hassenhuttl" rolled off the walls and back down into vacuous warehouse. It lapped over the customer like a sexually-charged germanic wave and I could see her quivering and becoming unsteady. I offered her a drink of water, not sure if I should be the one embarassed - or whether it should be her.

 

"Who was that talking just then?" she asked, her cheeks now a clear shade of carmine. She was flustered and unsteady, and now leaning on the counter-top edging closer and locking eyes with me. It was uncomfortable, as I wiedling a 6-pack of gorilla glue at the time.

 

"Adam Leitch?" I proffered.

 

"No, the other one. The other one!"

 

My mind raced. My heart thumped.

 

"Er, er.... Steven.... Grant?"

 

"Him!" she cooed menacingly.

 

"Wind that back! Now!"

 

She was demanding and, don't get me wrong - most of us like an assertive woman but she was insistent. This three grand take-away-today kitchen sale had turned into fifty shades of Steve Grant and before me, stood me a forty-something Anastasia Steele from Cobham. Over the waves however, was the Christian Grey of podcasting.

 

I was made to replay a segment when Grant slurps out a sentence on Obafemi. At first, I couldn't understand why. It was a sentence like no other, I thought. After the fifteenth time, it made sense. It was enigmatic, it was insightful, it was... sexually charged. The words bobbed over us, the sounds interlaced and entwined with meaning and significance and what we all crave in a human... sincerity.

 

The heat was rising. Our breathing became shallow and excitable. If she wasn't feeling a twinge, I most definitely was.

 

Kitchen? What kitchen? We both collapsed in a heap on the dusty, warehouse floor. She was leaning against the integrated handle display. Me, on the other hand, inside a trug bucket surround by mastic. The whole experience was confusing yet exhilerating. Exciting, yet completely inappropriate for the workplace... but we didn't care.

 

 

Because we had Granty in our lugs. And Granty gives eargasms.

 

 

 

 

PS: What I really want to know is... Adam, has Granty cracked onto Lucy yet?:suspicious:

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. :thumbup:

 

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

I've just joined my first Fantasy league because of the podcast...the TSP podcast league... if I get near the top I'll be amazed. Berty, Gunn and Adams in my team- I predict Saints will have a surprisingly good season- going for 5th-8th... higher than all the predictions in the podcast.

(Ever the optimist)

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.

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.

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.

 

You can find TSP82 via any of the following sites/links:

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.
