Total Saints Podcast is back for a new season with a safe pair of hands at the helm. At the end of last season, you may have heard regular host and TSP founder Ben tease a potential break to enjoy some family time this season and that's exactly what he's done. But rest assured, Ben is still involved behind the scenes and lifelong Saints fan and radio presenter Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) to discuss all things SaintsFC. The team discuss the departure of Danny Ings and who the club could possibly bring i ..read more

Total Saints Podcast brings down the curtain on another Premier League campaign. In truth, it’s been very disappointing for Saints – culminating in a predictable 3-0 defeat at West Ham United. Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) get together for one final time in 2020/21, assessing both the performance at the London Stadium and the season in general (31:50).

It’s been a great week for everyone who loves/supports/follows Southampton Football Club, thanks to back-to-back 3-1 wins over Crystal Palace and Fulham. With a heck of a lot to chew over, Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) reflect on Danny Ings’ 100th senior goal, penalty saves, Wilfried Zaha’s traditional ‘tears at St. Mary’s’, Che Adams impact and Nathan Tella, a talented (and incredibly smiley!) 21-year-old, opening his account for the Club. Alongside that, TSP161 discusses Ryan Bertrand’s imminent departure f ..read more

It wasn't necessarily a surprise to see Saints lose at Liverpool on Saturday night, but it did once again reiterate the lack of belief and cutting edge currently running throughout the side. Given Danny Ings’ continued absence, you got the feeling Saints could have played until the next UK Bank Holiday and still not score! Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) reflect on a thirteenth loss in seventeen Premier League matches - since that win over Jürgen Klopp’s side at St. Mary’s in early January. Finally, ahead of a ..read more

One thing Southampton Football Club will never be is predictable…. Expect them to win? They’ll often let you down. Expect them to get turned over? They’ll produce a spirited, ‘against the odds’ display, just like they did against Leicester City. After showing lots of effort and commitment, Saints did well to secure a 1-1 draw. Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) reflect on a game that oozed determination, achieved 10/10 player ratings and (*quelle surprise*)….included more VAR controversy! Next up is a trip to Anfi ..read more

Saints suffered FA Cup Semi-Final heartache at Wembley, after a thoroughly lacklustre showing against Leicester City. Despite Ralph Hasenhüttl saying his team ‘left everything out on the pitch’, Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) discuss, amongst other post-match reaction, whether they agree with that opinion…..or not! TSP158 also includes conversation about the proposed (..../disgraceful!) European Super League (26:30) and previews Saints’ next match, against a Jose Mourinho-less Tottenham Hotspur (42:20). Web: w ..read more

Cup fever is starting to intensify in and around Southampton (well…..it was pre-West Brom anyway!), with Saints set to take on Leicester City in next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) are joined by Simon Peach (PA Media) to preview another pivotal match in the Club’s history (50:15). Jamie (Leicester Fan TV) also provides an ‘opposition view’ from the Foxes camp (59:25). Ahead of that Wembley build-up, the guys reflect on Saints latest Premier League match – a dreadful 3-0 ..read more

A quiet, uneventful return to Premier League action for Saints? When have they ever been known to do that?! Instead, after an end-to-end, rollercoaster of a match, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side secured a fantastic 3-2 win over Burnley. Ben Stanfield (Host), Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10) and regular guest Dan Sheldon (The Athletic) work their way through the key moments, players and decisions from another tough – and emotionally draining – Premier League battle. Sean Dyche also pops in (again) to provide some post-match reaction. TSP156 also previews next week’s visit ..read more
