Southampton Dellivery

Pre-season match #1 is done. A 1-1 draw in Austria against a team that is at the end of the pre-season and ready to play competitive football. I will not say I am enjoyed watching the match, but that’s because I couldn’t due to legal restrictions and rights and all of that. No big deal, though. From the highlights, it looked like the guys were running and played well enough, created some good chances, made a few mistakes and it’s all to be expected. Live, learn and move on.

This week has been a roller coaster so far. Been to LA and back on Sunday to view a live podcast with my very best Arsenal Friend Josh. Got back after 11:00pm Sunday evening and then woke up ready to record this episode, only to have my dad call me in a semi-emergency, which lead to he and I spending the next 5 or so hours at the hospital. Eventually, we got him home and settled and Aydin (Twitter- @aydin_osman96 and Instagram- @aydinosman96) was waiting on the other end of a Skype call to do the episode. Now, here it is… we have a lot to discuss, from the friendly to your questions and even some social media type stuff.

As always, I hope you enjoy the show.

This week was basically the opposite of last week. The boys are back, but there isn’t really all that much going on with the club. Tom Murray joins me this week to discuss what rumors there are, the potential outgoing transfers, Tom’s work with Alan March Sport and answer your questions on this week’s show.

If you would like to get in contact with Tom or have questions about Alan March Sport’s offerings, the links below will help you get in touch with the right people. Also, follow Tom on Twitter @T214Murray.

What a fantastic start to the week. Before I was even awake on Monday morning, Saints had taken care of some serious business in the transfer market, bringing in Che Adams from Birmingham and shipping Matt Targett off to Aston Villa. Not long after that, Danny Ings was officially announced as a Saint after his loan spell from LFC ended. 

That makes two signings under Hasenhuttl and two attacking options added to the team. It’s also the first major departure of Ralph’s tenure. Targett played a significant role last season when Bertrand was out, but was going to be short of the first team football he craves and was coveted by several clubs according to rumors on the internet (where everything is true). 

Joining my this week to discuss all the movement, on and off the pitch, is Jay of @southamptonpage (Instagram). From Adams to Targett to the backroom shuffle, and social media mishaps, we break down what’s going on at Saints. If you don’t follow the @southamptonpage (Twitter), go do that. We’ll be back with a newsletter on Friday.

*Note- this week's episode contains language I would not use around my grandmother or my children. If you are listening with kids or aloud at work, I'd recommend waiting until you are alone or putting some headphones on... ps. It's totally worth it.*

Glen de la Cour had a 5 year plan. It didn’t involve industrialization or collectivization. Or restructuring of the board or improvements to the training facilities. It was, mostly, document what was happening as Saints aimed to get back to the Premier League. 

Five years came and went, Saints got back to the Premier League, we sold players to Liverpool, lost managers, qualified for Europe, and Glen simply kept writing. We fell from Europe, more players left the club, and still, made some shocking moves at the top of the food chain, and still Glen kept writing. It’s been 10 full seasons, over 645 posts, since Glen started League One Minus 10. The play on the field hasn’t always been pretty, but Glen has been giving it to readers straight since the day he started. The blog is full of opinion, insight, curse words and reactions, and can be counted on to deliver an honest and open opinion of what’s happening on the pitch through the eyes of a man who has been attending matches with his father (and now his father and son) since 1975.

If you don’t follow Glen on Twitter you can do that @L1Minus10, and please be sure to add League One Minus 10 to your reading list. You won’t regret it. Special thanks to Glen for coming on the show this week to discuss 10 years of writing the blog, some team news, and answer some listener questions.

This week I’m joined by Dan who runs the @premworldwide on Instagram (you can get him on Twitter @deadlydjenepo) to talk about the announcement of the 2019/2020 fixtures, the arrival of Moussa Djenepo, the recent Sport Bild interview of Ralph Hasenhuttle, LFC’s interest (maybe?) in Alex McCarthy, the possibility of Bertrand and/or Targett leaving, your questions and more.

Get in touch with Dan and I and let us know what you think!

We’ll be back next week to take a look at what has transpired at and around the club.

***Look at this!!!- If you have a special story about spending time with your father or father figure around football (especially Saints), and would like to share it with me for next week's episode, please do! You can record it right on your phone and email it to me, or we can get on Skype and do it if that's easier for you. It's just way to recognize some of the ways sports have helped some of us come together (or how your dad, uncle or whoever, got you into supporting the only team on the south coast that really matters). Anyway, the email your clips to [email protected] or just get in touch however you think is easiest, there is a contact form on the website that gets my attention as well. Thanks- Matt ***

The Saints News and Views Twitter account can always be counted on to deliver some good conversation. A debate is always likely, news is always there, and views are often expressed. When I first spoke with Jack a almost two years ago (and again just before Christmas of 2017), it was a whirlwind of learning, at a time when Saints were really struggling to produce on and off the pitch.

This time, the season is over, and Jack and I focus first on running the accounts and podcasts during those tough times on the pitch, and how he approaches the growing support for the page and some of the other things that come with it. From there we move to the Financial Times article that came out this week regarding Gao and investment and such, and move on finally to transfers and your questions.

If you don’t already follow Saints News and Views you should, they are @SaintsfcViews on Twitter and I promise you will be in for a good time when you do!

This was my first official day of summer vacation and I can’t think of a better way to start it off. Special thanks to Jack for coming on (especially with his work schedule) and thanks again to all of you for listening!  You can listen without leaving the page using the player above, or you can use the links here to subscribe in your preferred podcast app.

*Quick note- I stated in the intro that Maya Yoshida would be playing in the Copa America. That isn't true. Sorry. 

This week Christian Candler joins me to bring in the summer. We discuss everything from Charlie Austin in a LFC uniform to the Saints FC players out on international duty this summer. We also talk Women’s World Cup, transfer rumors, Saints pre-season tour and more.

It’s a bit more casual than normal, and that’s because I’m away this week grading exams for AP World History. It’s pretty great.

We kept it pretty simple this week. I spoke with 4 more guests about the season, the kits, the coming summer and anything else that popped up. We don’t discuss the off-field partnership with J1 side Shimizu Pulse or the ruling handed down regarding the abuse of youth players in the past.

Guests in order of appearance:

• Chris- @asaintinlondon.

We’ll be back again next week, and this Friday with the Newsletter. Subscribe and all of that so you don’t miss out.

It’s a special week this week. Generally at the end of the season I take the chance to speak with fans from around the world about the season and get their thoughts. This year, since we’ve added patreon.com/sfcdellivery to the mix, I thought it would be nice to get to hear from some of the Patrons and get their thoughts.  Don’t worry if you are not a Patron, though. We’re doing it again next week and if you’d like to be on the show, just get in touch and I’ll send you the link to book your time! I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Also, special thanks to the Patrons. None of this happens without you.

The 2018/2019 Premier League season is over. A 16th place finish, some wins against the top 6, 29 points dropped from winning positions (if my counting is correct), a new coach, a load of players out on loan, 2 executive openings, and a second place trophy for LFC.

Was it successful? I’m not sure I’d call it that, but it’s definitely on something to build on. This week I’m joined Jay Grant (@fataljaay), who owns the partner account to the show, @southamptonpage. Because he was at the match on Sunday, and Sunday was also Mother’s Day here in the US, we recorded on Monday morning, shortly after the club announced the new main sponsorship deal with LD Sports (so that’s fun). We also discuss Saints’ 1-1 draw with Huddersfield on the final day of the season, the looming transfer window and more.
