Southampton’s FA Cup run came to an end at Wembley, but Episode 376 of the Total Saints Podcast looks back on a performance full of pride, fight and genuine belief against Manchester City.

Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to reflect on the 2-1 semi-final defeat, the incredible Finn Azaz moment, the limbs in the Saints end, and the frustration of seeing City turn the game around so quickly after Southampton had briefly dared to dream.

The panel discuss the defensive effort, the atmosphere at Wembley, standout performances from Caspar Jander, Cam Bragg, Nathan Wood and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, plus the impact of missing key players including Flynn Downs, Ryan Manning and Jack Stephens.

There’s also a look at whether this result can galvanise Saints for the final push of the Championship season, with Ipswich Town heading to St Mary’s for a huge rearranged fixture in the race for second place.

The team preview Tuesday night’s game, discuss Ipswich’s recent form, the automatic promotion picture, Saints’ team selection, score predictions, and what needs to happen for the final day at Preston to still have something riding on it.

Plus, there’s a nod to the Southampton Women interview with Marieanne Spacey-Cale, the U21s’ penalty shootout defeat to Aston Villa, and plenty of appreciation for the Saints fans — and TSP merch — seen at Wembley.
