Saints travelled down to the Vitality Stadium (Dean Court!) this weekend to take on AFC Bournemouth in the ‘Its not a Derby’ Derby. The game eventually ending 0-0, despite an improved performance by Saints – at least at one end of the pitch anyway! After travelling across the globe during the International break (well, two of them anyway!), Ben Stanfield (Host) is joined once again by regular pane...

Sigh.......Another home game for Saints ends in the normal way these days - without a win! Chelsea the latest victors at St. Mary's, 3-0.Again, its a defensive horror show, with a mixture of familiar soft/sloppy goals being conceded. Far too easy for Chelsea in general. The week had started positively, with a Carabao Cup win up at Goodison Park, but it was soon back to earth with a bang, after Ede...

Well, its taken 37 games but finally Saints have just about saved their Premier League status. Only a bizarre set of results, and a gigantic goal-swing, in the final round of fixtures will now see them relegated. But the drama on the pitch at the Liberty Stadium vs Swansea, where Manolo Gabbiadini scored to give Saints a precious 1-0 win, almost paled into insignificance compared to events off of...

Football can be a cruel game sometimes! Saints fans found that out this past weekend, as Everton - assisted by some rather poor refereeing - scored an undeserved 96th minute equaliser, which cost Southampton 2 massive points in their quest for Premier League survival. Ben Stanfield (Host of TSP) and regular guest Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Daily Echo), pick the bones out of another tough da...

Football is just a game, right? There are more important things in life, right? Try telling that to Southampton fans who are currently sat on a weekly emotional rollercoaster (mainly heading in a downward direction!), watching Premier League survival slowly slip away. Saints again found an incredible ability to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory, as they threw away a 2-goal lead against Chelsea...

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 Br...

"Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again....."You never quite know how low you can go as a Saints fan - but, after a 3-0 defeat at West Ham, a new level was located for this season!

Bliss! With Adam Leitch taking (another) well-earned break, Ben Stanfield (host of Total Saints Podcast) is joined by the returning Lucy Highnett (@lucyhighnett...

Two Podcasts in just 4 days - you lucky devils, you! Yes, after Saints took the decision to sack Mauricio Pellegrino (eventually!), Mark Hughes was installed as the new Southampton manager until the end of the season. Ben Stanfield (host), Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Daily Echo) and Steve Grant (SaintsWeb) get together to discuss Pellegrino out/Mark Hughes in - and whether a 'bounce effect'...

Few words can really do justice in trying to explain how bad Saints were at Newcastle. From ‘number 1 to number 11’ it was simply shambolic and effortless. They let the entire Football Club down and, with pressure already building, may well have assisted in another Premier League manager being given his P45. Whether that does happen or not, only time were tell. In Total Saints Podcast Episode 28,...

Consistent. A word synonymous with Saints this season for generally the wrong reasons. Consistently poor and unentertaining performances, generally rewarded with little (or few) Premier League points. Well, they were at it again this weekend with a rather drab 0-0 St Mary’s performance against Stoke. Ben Stanfield (host) and Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Southern Daily Echo) attempt to pull ou...
