Episode 353 - Total Saints Podcast

Welcome to Episode 353 of the Total Saints Podcast - Your home for all things Southampton FC!

Saints are through to the FA Cup fourth round — but once again, it wasn’t without drama.

We react to a chaotic 3–2 win away at Doncaster Rovers, another alarming second-half collapse, and more questions about Saints’ defensive structure, game management, and decision-making.

We also pay tribute to lifelong Saints fan and TSP sponsor Paul Castle, with a moving reflection on his support for the club, the podcast, and the wider Saints community.

It’s then back to Championship action, as Hull City come to St Mary’s at the start of a huge three-game week. We’re joined by Ant Northgraves from the To Hull and Back podcast to preview the game, assess Hull’s playoff push, injuries, January business, and what Saints should expect on Saturday.

Plus:

• Daniel Peretz’s mixed debut
• Oriol Romeu’s puzzling absence
• Cam Bragg’s continued rise
• The £120 FA Cup shirt debate
• Ronnie Edwards’ move to QPR
• Saints Women’s 4–0 win over Pompey

Episode 352 - Total Saints Podcast

Welcome to Episode 352 of the Total Saints Podcast - your home for all things Southampton FC!

A miserable end to the festive fixtures as Saints are thrashed 4–0 away at Middlesbrough — a side that hadn’t scored in over seven hours of football.

The panel react to a shambolic second-half collapse, question Tonda Eckert’s system, substitutions and post-match comments, and ask how much longer the current approach can survive.

With the league season drifting, attention turns to the FA Cup third round at Doncaster Rovers and whether it now represents Saints’ best chance of momentum — or even meaning — this season.

We also reflect on four years of Sport Republic ownership, the endless churn of managers and recruitment leads, and what the future may hold if promotion isn’t achieved.

Episode 351 - Total Saints Podcast

Hello and Happy New Year — welcome to Episode 351 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC.

We start by thanking our incredible TSP Patron community, whose support makes the show possible every week.

The New Year began as the old one ended — with a damp squib.

Saints were held to a boring 0–0 draw at home to Millwall, a game low on quality and talking points.

We discuss:

• Five changes from the Birmingham draw and a reshuffled back three
• Whether celebrating a clean sheet at home shows how low expectations have fallen
• Cam Bragg’s first home start — and why he impressed
• Leo Scienza’s minutes being managed and what that says about Saints’ attacking threat
• Saints’ slow, predictable build-up and lack of cutting edge
• Gavin Bazunu’s big save — and whether it masks deeper issues

Is the mood starting to turn on the head coach already? Are Saints becoming too cautious for their own good?

Reports suggest Bayern Munich keeper Daniel Peretz could arrive on loan with a sizeable option to buy.

We debate:

• The risk vs reward of the move
• What it means for Bazunu and George Long
• Why recruitment — not the head coach — appears to be driving decisions

Next up is a trip north to face a Middlesbrough side who haven’t scored in four games.

We look at:

• Their recent dip after a strong start under new management
• Whether Saints return to their strongest XI
• How Saints should approach another physical Championship test

🎧 Plus all the usual fan debate, honest opinions, and Saints perspective you won’t get anywhere else.
