    Hi Everyone,

    Hope you're keeping well and having an enjoyable 'off season'.

    With the return of football not too far away now, I'm delighted to say that, due almost entirely to the outpouring of encouragement for Total Saints Podcast to continue, we'll be back next Monday (31/8) with our first Pod of Season 2020-21.

    Glen and Steve will again be joining myself (Ben) this year, as will our newly secured 'regular weekly guest', Dan Sheldon (now of The Athletic).

    We look forward to sharing our/your thoughts and opinions on Saints each week, as the 'roller coaster' kicks into action once more.

    We've also created a brand new website - www.totalsaints.co.uk - should you like to check it out at any point.

    Anyway, I'll continue to add the Pods/links to this 2020-21 TSP thread - every Monday morning (UK time) - should you wish to listen.

    Hope you enjoy them/us again and fingers crossed for another successful season under Ralph.

    Catch you soon,
    B

    Great news Ben. I reckon that deserves a top 8 finish this year from Saints and a mighty cup win.

    Wonderful, although I won’t be flying anywhere soon (which was my listening time), so I’ll have to lock myself away to get a listen.

    Due almost entirely to the brilliant support and encouragement of our loyal listeners, Total Saints Podcast is back for 2020-21!

    This first episode of the season (which hopefully doesn't include too many cobwebs!) sees the newly confirmed TSP panel – Ben, Steve, Glen and The Athletic's Dan Sheldon – once again go to the heart of all things Saints FC.

    TSP126 conversation covers the upcoming Premier League campaign, a few dodgy predictions, the Saints' fixture list, some ‘sponsoring issues’, Dan’s recent move to The Athletic and much more.

    If you'd like to listen then you can find it via any of the below links (or your preferred podcast channel):

    Great to have you back Ben, and TSP is even better without the annoying hot tub man!

    Can you smell that? Yes, the new Premier League season is just around the corner now!

    TSP127 sees your regular TSP panel preview Saints first game of the new campaign - away to Crystal Palace. Given Saints dreadful opening day record, can they secure anything from Selhurst Park? Listen in and hear what the guys have to say.

    This TSP episode also includes the first edition of ‘Red and White Insight – life inside our Club’, featuring Saints CEO, Martin Semmens (35:00).

    Mr Semmens talks about a number of successes and challenges within the Club over recent times, including the impact of Coronavirus, securing Ralph Hasenhuttl to a new deal, potential contract extensions for key first-team players, sponsorship issues, the Saints Women’s team and more.

    Brilliant pod guys and great to hear from Martin too.

    Oh yes, we’ve finally got a competent front office in the football dept at Saints again!

    Thank goodness. :)

    Martin came across as honest and with huge dose of common-sense. Rare to see these days.
    Ambition at the moment means consistency and finishing 7th-12th for several years, providing a platform to enhance the style of football that the team plays. I am paraphrasing, but I like it.

    This week, ahead of the disappointing 1-0 Premier League defeat at Crystal Palace, Total Saints Podcast spoke exclusively to Saints manager, Ralph Hasenhüttl (23:00).

    In a brief catch up, Ralph spoke about his hopes for 2020/21, how important James Ward-Prowse has become, the new 4-year deal and…..cows and mountains!

    Featuring your regular TSP panel, the episode provides further analysis on that frustrating opening day loss.

    Alongside all the above, TSP128 covers a potential American takeover of the Club (or not…), previews the Carabao Cup fixture against Brentford and also looks ahead to Spurs visit to St Mary’s (33:30 onwards).

    We're only a week in.....yet the tranquility of the summer break already feels like a distant memory!

    Its been a tough first week of the season for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men. Defeat to Crystal Palace has now been followed up by the Carabao Cup exit (vs Brentford) and a humiliating second-half capitulation against Spurs.

    TSP129 sees us trying to pick the bones out of a frankly horrible start to 2020/21 - focussing particularly on this new 'high line' at the back!

    Prior to previewing next weekend’s trip to Burnley (36:00), Francisco Fourcade ('Southampton FC Argentina') also joins the Pod this week, as he helps kick off our new ‘TSP - International Supporters Club’ feature (27:30).

    If you'd like to listen to the Pod (where....as ever....we try to be as constructive as possible!), you can find it via any of the below links:

    You can file Saints first victory of the new Premier League season, away to Burnley, under ‘ugly but effective’!

    While many neutrals probably decided early on that ‘Little Mix – The Search’ was a more entertaining watch, Saints fans enjoyed every single minute of the Turf Moor fixture.

    TSP130 sees your regular TSP panel reflect on a very professional performance by Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side.

    Can it now kick start the season? Time will tell…

    Ahead of previewing next weekend’s home game against West Bromwich Albion (38:45) – which could see our favourite ‘thing in a shirt’ return – Dan Sheldon also provides his latest views on the Saints transfer window (25:45).

    I genuinely didn't know he had it in him! Arguably the 'biggest' thing to ever happen to TSP.... :emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Its back-to-back wins (and back-to-back clean sheets!) for Saints now, after a comfortable 2-0 win vs West Bromwich Albion.

    TSP131, featuring your regular foursome of Ben, Steve, Glen and Dan, reflects on all the key talking points from St. Mary’s, as the Baggies were put to the sword in very professional style.

    Alongside the excitement of that, discussion covers the impending International break, Transfer Deadline Day, Ibrahima Diallo’s arrival (32:30) and also a Fantasy Premier League update.

    Finally, after Eric Dier’s rapid exit from the pitch earlier this week, the chaps discuss rare occasions when ‘nature has called’ for footballers (i.e. “Jason Puncheon, he sh*ts when he wants”!)

    The Bible (Old Testament) tells us that Samson lost his superhuman strength if/when his long hair was cut. But, in more modern times, Jannik Vestergaard seems to have gained superhuman strength since his barnet was trimmed by the barbers!

    Our big Dane – with his recent ‘short(er) back and sides’ – nodded in a well-deserved, injury-time equaliser for Saints (vs Chelsea) this weekend.

    TSP132 sees us react to that moment, Theo Walcott’s ‘returning debut’ and much more from Stamford Bridge.

    The Pod also includes the latest ‘TSP – International Supporters Club’ (from Bulgaria; 26:15), reflects on the recent Premier League Pay-Per-View decision (50:25), discusses the Transfer Window (41:15), celebrates Danny Ings first senior goal for England (62:05) and previews next weekend’s fixture against Everton (65:05).
