Welcome to Episode 326 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton FC!

We’re officially back for the 2025/26 season — and there’s plenty to get into ahead of Saturday’s big opener at St Mary’s.

Joining host Martin Starke this week are Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10), and George Rees-Julian (Daily Echo), as we cover all the latest.

On this week’s pod:

• A full Wrexham preview with Tim from Fearless in Devotion — what should we expect from the Championship newcomers?
• Review of the pre-season match against Brighton — what did we learn, who’s missing, and who must start?
• Injury updates on Downes, THB, Smallbone, and Brereton Diaz — and what it means for selection
• A special feature with the Saints Foundation, highlighting how you can get involved this season
• Season predictions — where will Saints finish and who are the biggest threats.

Plus:

• A look at the club’s squad depth and formation shifts
• Reaction to Jan Bednarek’s Champions League move
• An update on Saints Women, now competing in a reshaped pyramid under new manager Simon Parker
