Southampton Dellivery

The thought of not having club football for one weekend seems to send most fans into a bit of fit. I’ll be honest, when that weekend comes, it does feel like something is missing. It drags on a bit, especially when you are playing well. But, that feeling of missing something, of not being able to have something you enjoy and look forward to is so much greater for an athlete who is forced to miss multiple months through injury.

That helps frame just some of the conversation I had this week with Amie Barnett. Amie has been a member of Southampton Women’s for 10 years. Over that time she’s seen the club struggle and thrive. She’s worked with a number of dedicated managers and teammates, all of whom she admires and spoke highly of. The club has seen success in recent years, and we discussed that, her early career, the role football played in her life while growing up, and her plans for the future. We also discuss our collective fear of crossing the halfway line. It’s really, really scary, and we discuss why neither of us do it.

There is also, this week more so than normal, some personal anecdotes from me. I usually try to cut them out, but I left more of them in here this week. Not because I think I’m important or that you desperately want to hear about them, but because they reflect the type of conversation Amie and I had. It really did feel like we were just talking, not like I was interviewing someone. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, but I’m happy with the result and I hope you are too.

Amie is on Twitter and Instagram @amie_barnett and @amiebarnett and the links to the club’s contact info is below.

Thank you. Amie, for taking the time to chat. Between your family, wedding planning, training, rehab on the knee, work and everything else, you could have easily said no to this. I, and I’m sure the listeners, appreciate it very much.

Full disclosure, I sponsor a coach of the team and as a result have a small advertisement with the club. If you are interested in sponsoring a player, coach, or advertising, you can visit the contact page on the website, or email the club secretary (email below). My Amie is sponsored Doswell Projects and you can find out more about them at https://doswellprojects.co.uk/.

A special thank you to the Southampton Women’s Football Club, Amanda Burroughs, Simon Parker, Lee Calendar, and Amie for making this happen. It’s a pleasure and an honor to have to opportunity to work with such a fantastic organization and such amazing people.

There are some opportunities that may only come once in a lifetime. I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of hosting and speaking with a number of people on this show. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-90 different voices on the club have been aired on this show. Some happy, others sad, some critical, others full of praise. From former players to public figures to people I now consider friends, it’s been great. Speaking to other fans is the best part of doing this.

And with all that said, this week is special. I had the opportunity to speak with Tom Deacon, comedian, presenter, podcast host and pretty much just all around amazing guy. I can honestly say I wish I had more time with him. I wish I could have gotten more into his comedy and life, but we were here to talk about Saints, and about his work with them and being a fan, and what it’s like when those two things overlap. That’s what we have here. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to Tom for making time for us to chat and sorry you had bus replacement home.

This week on this show I’m joined by Yasmin Wiseman, a long-time, dedicated Saints fan and a member of the Saints Voice Panel. So, the day after Wolves, after the long ride, the disappointment of the match, the late arrival home and despite not feeling well, she joined me. And it was great. It was great just to talk to her about her life supporting Saints, the team, the good times and the bad. I asked about a lot of things, I forgot to ask about others, and I’m sure next time I’ll a better job. As for Yasmin, she was great, and I think you’ll enjoy the chat.

Be sure to give her a follow @MissYjw1 on Twitter and Instagram @MissYjw1.

Also, there may be a few curse words in this week’s episode (beeped out, of course), but just know they are in there.

Richard Brereton, you have won a copy of "Being a Saint" from last week's guest.... DM me your address and we'll get it shipped out ASAP! Thanks to everyone who participated!

Saints made the long trip to Anfield and back with nothing to show. A mistake-filled performance against a supremely talented Liverpool side showed why each are where they are in the table. Liverpool have more wins than Saints have points. Saints failed to close down a cross, mark their opposite number on a corner, and help their goalkeeper by coming to clean a shot off the crossbar. We’ve seen these types of things before, and now we’re left with familiar questions from previous years. The mentality of the team, the quality in the squad, the leadership capabilities of management, and more.

Joining me to discuss all of that and more on this week’s show is JJ Hughes, editor of St. Mary’s Musings. JJ’s been here before and will be back on again, and he also writes about MMA, if you are into that sort of thing. Luckily he wasn’t sat ringside for the early knockout of Saints at Anfield, we had the benefit of replay but in the end I think we agree, the judges got it right.

You can get in touch with JJ on Twitter @JJHughes_ and follow @StMary’sMusings, SB Nation’s Southampton Site, for all of your Saints’ news from a fantastic team of writers and a hilarious social media team. You can also visit the website at stmarysmusings.sbnation.com.

As always, thanks for the questions and support, and a special thanks to JJ for chatting with me for 2.5 hour, because dudes can talk on the phone about life and music and sports and it’s totally fine.

Alright, alright, we’re up 2-0… okay, 2-1 now, but it’s only stoppage time left… and there’s a penalty… Oh… oh! Oh nooooo! We drew 2-2, at home to Brighton. Cool. That’s all I have to say about that for now.

But, as far as this week’s episode goes, we had plenty to talk about. I spoke with Richard Walters, author, businessman, and life-long follower of Saints, about his new book Being a Saint: The Pain, Passion and Pleasure of being a Southampton FC Fan. The book is brand new and is the latest in a long line of books Walters has authored. It may be his first book dedicated to Saints, but it’s a long time in the making and packed full of history, stories, insight and more.

To get your copy of the book head over to richardwaltersauthor.co.uk and get your copy, and if you’d like the chance to win a free copy of the book, head over to Twitter, like the tweet pinned on my page (from 1:30pm BEST Tuesday, 9/18), and give Richard a follow (@RWaltersauthor). We’ll announce the winner on next week’s show.

As always, let us know what you think of the show and how we can improve, and we look forward to hearing from all of you.

This week I am happy to bring you my conversation with Emma Pinner (@EPinner7), a striker for the Southampton Women’s Football Club. If you have been around and listening to the podcast for a while, you will know that from time to time I get the chance to chat with the players and coaches of the Southampton Women’s Football Club. I’m fortunate to have the chance to learn about the players, their careers, their habits and goals, and it brings me great pleasure to be able to share some of those conversations with you on the podcast. If you do not already support a women’s team in the Southampton area, I encourage you to take some time on a Sunday (or midweek sometimes) and watch the girls play. They are passionate, talented, organized and a joy to support!

Emma and I talked about her career, her goals for the season, her injury last year and we also took some questions from her teammates and others on Twitter. We were also interrupted about 100 times, by the dog, and my daughter, and the recorder running low on batteries and more. So, some of that makes it in there and I hope you enjoy a little of the behind the scenes that is in this conversation. Real life was happening right alongside me while I spoke to Emma. If you hate it, that’s fine. Next week will probably be back to normal.

Full disclosure, I sponsor a coach of the team and as a result have a small advertisement with the club. If you are interested in sponsoring a player, coach, or advertising, you can visit the contact page on the website, or email the club secretary (email below).

A special thank you to the Southampton Women’s Football Club, Amanda Burroughs, Simon Parker, Lee Calendar, and Emma for making this happen. It’s a pleasure and an honor to have to opportunity to work with such a fantastic organization and such amazing people.

Saints had quite a bit to celebrate this week, with two wins and two clean sheets in two chances, a number of members called up for international duty, and what seems some budding partnerships on the pitch, the mood and feeling are about as positive as they have been in over a year (maybe excluding the win of Swansea, but that was more relief, I think).

Joining me to discuss the win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup and the victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League is Alex Hammond (@saintshammond). Alex has been on the show in the past and is now working as a member of Eastleigh FC’s media team. We talk his role there, the club, the wins, the work that still needs to be done and more. Be sure to give Alex a follow if you haven’t already!

Another week, another instance of Cedric being out jumped at the back post, another late goal allowed takes points from Saints, and once again we drop points at home, to a team that we would expect to beat given that they were Vardy and Mahrez-less.

Nonetheless, we are here with an episode and this week I’m joined by Jamie Grant (@strangerIngs) who runs the @SuthamptonPage on Twitter and Instagram. We break down the match, discuss the good and the bad and, eventually, get to a brief preview of the Carabao Cup Match with Brighton.

***I recorded this show on the road (actually just off of a road, down by the river) because I have an awesome wife and fantastic friends who plan cool stuff for us to do when it’s around our birthdays, etc.). Thanks to Mondo and Karin, and Biscuit and Luz… and mostly my wife, Amanda… I’ll talk to you when you are done watching that KU Volleyball match.***

As always, I hope you enjoy the show, and I look forward to hearing from you!
