Southampton Dellivery

Saints are coming off another loss at Goodison park. Once again, the team started slowly and was on the back foot for much of the first half, and went into halftime down 2-0. Many aspects of the match were similar to those we saw last season. A slow start, Cedric left along and losing a header, an inability to control the game. But, there were also some positives as well. Saints did create some clear chances and Mark Hughes made some attacking changes, at one point going 4-2-4, with three strikers on the pitch. In all, it wasn’t a total loss. No points, but the first of what we all hope will be many Danny Ings goals this season.

The loss, however, does put more pressure on Saints for the return of Claude Puel to St. Mary’s as he brings his Leicester City side, who will be without Jamie Vardy, for a Premier League clash next weekend.

I talk all of that with my guest this week, Daniel Adams. He’s on Twitter @Dan23SFC, and he runs the @TheSaintsFCPage on Instagram. He joined me from Malaysia, where he follows Saints and runs the page. It was a pleasure getting to chat with him, and the page offers a lot to anyone not already following. So, click the links and get over to him now!

Additionally, I had the chance to meet with Neil Crespin, host of the Six-O-Saints Podcast on Sunday. We met while he and his wife were visiting southern California and it was great to sit and chat with both of them, about life, the team, podcasting and everything in between. If you haven’t given the podcat a try yet I encourage you to both listen AND give your input. You can call in and give your opinion on anything Saints related and Neil will have a short chat with you and it will be put on the show. Text 07583 830606 to get started. Also, listen here.

The first match of the season has come and gone, and Saints get out of it with a 0-0 draw against at home to a Burnley side that was coming off a Thursday night Europa League qualifier in Turkey. The team looked lost during the early going, and it we seemed unable to really control the match in the middle of the park. However, some personnel and formation changes in the second half saw Saints get on the front foot, and the new signings who got in the match all made an impact on the pitch.

I discuss all of that, plus listener questions with Christin Candler (@thecandler on Twitter). Plus, we take your questions and Jay give us a page from the Southampton Page.

Be sure to get in touch with the show and give Christian and the Southampton Page a follow.

Parts of the squad spent time in Russia, most have gone to China and back, been to France, and finally Staplewood and St. Mary’s. As fans, we’ve analyzed transfers and rumors, watched dodgy streams, called for action, and probably gotten our hopes all too high, while at the same time causing scenes in various corners of the internet when the team didn’t perform as well as we would have liked.

With all of that out of the way, the season is here. Finally.

This week on the show I’m joined by a number of guests to help give us some insight into what we think will happen this season. This show wouldn’t be anything without the guests who so willingly contribute their time and the listeners who listen and give feedback as often as they do. This is truly the best thing about the show. Interacting with you, talking to people, getting to hear their reasoning, talking about the club we all love.

Give this week’s guests a follow on Twitter if you are not doing so already.

Guests, in order of appearance:

• Lucy Highnett- https://twitter.com/lucyhighnett
  • @lucyhighnett

We spoke before the end of the transfer window, and before the final (somewhat depressing) pre-season match. So, if we seem a bit more cheerful than you think is appropriate, just keep that in mind.

TWO NEW Saints FC PODCASTS:

Yes, this episode is long. I apologize. Also, I said Mike Murphy lives on the Isle of White, and that’s a lie. Mike Russell lives there. Mike Murphy lives in Florida. Both do podcast stuff. I follow them both. I apologize for making the mistake.

Talk about your all-time backfires. Get a guy who loves and produces podcasts and who happens to be a Saints fan and who also happens to be a lifelong resident of Southampton, then have him on your show and then make sure you mess up the audio worse than you have in at least 6 months. Super. Great job, Matt.

But, Chris Huskins is my guest this week, and he’s amazing. From Podcast production to digital marketing and speaking, he does a fantastic job. He’s been someone I’ve sought out time and time again to get feedback and advice on the podcast, and he’s truly been invaluable in the development of this show. All of the links to his stuff are below and I highly recommend you look him up, give him and follow and check out his website, no matter what stage of podcast/project production you are at.

So, this week we talk his history with the club, from the days at the Dell to the coming season, we talk podcasting, and we have a good time doing it. I hope you have a good time listening to it, and we always welcome your feedback.

Follow Chris Huskins, yo.

This week I chatted with Blake Hampton (@BlakeAHampton on Twitter) about the most recent week for Saints. With four new signings in, we’ll discuss the overall performance of the squad in the friendly against Derby, the business that’s been done thus far, and answer a load of questions sent in via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (thank you, by the way).

The World Cup is over. The trophy goes to France and if N’Golo Kante’s sheepish grin can’t cheer you up, maybe some talk about Saints’ newest signings can. So, that’s what we have this week. I spoke with two podcast hosts this week to get their perspective on Angus Gunn and Jaanik Vestergaard.

First, I spoke with Jon Punt from alongcomenorwich.com about Angus Gunn. Although Saints signed Gunn from Manchester City, he was on loan at Norwich last season and grew up a fan of the club. His father, Bryan Gunn was also a goalkeeper and manager at Norwich. We discuss Angus’ attributes, his ceiling, he motivation and more. We also check in on Harrison Reed and get Jon’s view on his loan spell at Norwich last season.

Jon and the rest of the Along Come Norwich crew spoke with Angus’ father Bryan on an episode of their podcast a few months ago. In it, Bryan gave some more insight into Angus’s development and aspirations. The link is below if you are interested in giving it a listen.

Secondly, I spoke with Manuel Breuer of the Vollraute Abroad Podcast. Manuel (now living in London) and his colleagues (still in Mönchengladbach) present the podcast in both German and English and focus on all things Borussia Mönchengladbach. I spoke with Manuel about Vestergaard’s time at the club, what we can expect from him and what his future might look like. I look forward to keeping in touch with Manuel over the next few weeks as our friendly with the club gets closer.

So, hopefully you enjoy the episode. Feel free to check out the information on each of the guests below and give the Bryan Gunn interview on Along Come Norwich a listen.

Saints are once again adding to the crew. Just hours after @Toddrick33 and I sat down to record this episode, Saints’ pursuit of Jannik Vestergaard intensified as the move now seems imminent. Meanwhile, back here in the US there is another Crew, in Columbus, that is being threatened.

Todd joins me to discuss becoming a fan of Saints, his trip to St. Mary’s, the current situation surrounding the Columbus Crew, Saints transfer window, a bit on the World Cup and even some listener questions.

Todd also does a podcast focused on the Columbus Crew. You can find them on Twitter @Podcast4Cbus.

As always, let us know how we did.

Saints have been busy this week. From signing a new attacker, to welcoming back the majority of the squad for the beginning of training to getting on a plane over the China for the first few friendlies ahead of the new campaign. We discussed Stuart Armstrong and his potential impact last week with Stephen Brandt, and this week we turn our focus to newly signed Norwegian international, Mohamed Elyounoussi. The attacker comes to Saints from FC Basel, and lucky for us, there is a Saints fan who holds a season ticket at FC Basel. He’s former Saints Podcast host, Andrew Walker (on Twitter @SaintsPodcast and on Instagram @andydubya84). We discuss Elyounoussi, the trip to China, our defenders, and what we think the club needs to do the rest of the window… and a bit of the World Cup as well.

Hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you think!

***Note*** There's a little bit of clicking coming from the Skype connection during Mark's interview. Sorry about that. Hopefully you can ignore it. 

Stories play a huge role in our lives. We listened to them as children, we pass on tales of adventure both true and embellished to our kids, for centuries before there was writing, the entire history of humankind and of earth was passed down orally. So, it only seems natural that, in this age of advanced technology, more and more people who enjoy telling stories are coming to audio (to podcasts, specifically) to share their stories with the world.

Mark Sanderson is an author, a PR guy, a dad, a husband, a Saints fan, and a storyteller. His articles are entertaining, and his book both intriguing and inspiring. He’s been on this show before to talk about his book Bobby Stokes: The Man from Portsmouth who Scored Southampton’s Most Famous Goal, and now he’s back to talk a little bit about his new show, “Behind the Story: A Podcast Mostly About Football.” Join us as we talk stories, football, Saints, the World Cup and more.

Also joining my this week is another writer and podcaster from the USA. Stephen Brandt is the Host of Yellow Card Podcast, a general football podcast and a show on MLS’s list of 50 Podcasts you should listen to. Stephen supports Celtic (and LFC) so he joins me briefly to discuss Stuart Armstrong and fill me in on what we’re getting in the Scottish midfielder.

Yellow Card Podcast will be on this Tuesday at 7:30PM EST and available everywhere listen to podcasts after that. They’re talking with @InsideAthletic this week, so if you have any questions about Athletic Bilbao be sure to tune in.

Father’s day has just passed, and on that day, and hopefully others as well, we remember the connection and relationship we have with our dad’s. Additionally, for those of us fortunate enough to have children, it’s a chance to spend some time with them, and gives them a chance to tell us what they think.

Not all homes are happy ones, and not all relationships are good ones, but often there is some bond, something that draws the best out of all involved. For my dad and I it was baseball. He coached, I played, I watched his softball games, we went to professional games together, we watched at home, he taught me all about the game, about the intricacies and subtleties of it, and for most of my life I loved baseball more than anything else.

I was lucky to have that. No matter what else happened in our relationship, we had that, and that won’t change.

This week on the show I spoke with Steve and Dan Jarvis about their relationship and supporting Saints. Steve was in an accident over 30 years ago that left him with limited vision. He and Dan discuss the impact of his impaired vision affected their relationship, supporting Saints home and away, the team and more.

You can follow Dan and Steve on Twitter @danjarvisSFC91 and @SteveJarvisSFC, and don’t be afraid to say hello to them at a game or in a pub, they are both very friendly and I’m very honored to be able to talk to them in this manner, and grateful that they agreed to open up a bit about their relationship.

Steve and Dan talked about a website they use to help make sure Steve has a radio in order to be sure Steve could hear the radio commentary. The website is http://www.levelplayingfield.org.uk/ so if you know of anyone who may be able to take advantage of the services offered please pass it on. They are there to help make sure everyone can enjoy the events as much as everyone else.
