Total Saints Podcast

No-one has ever played more games for Southampton FC (over 800) than Terry Paine, and only 3 players in history have scored more goals for the Club (over 180) - he is quite simply a footballing legend.Add to that an MBE, the Honorary President position at Saints and being a member of the famous 1966 World Cup winning England squad and it’s quite some CV!TSP113 sees Ben Stanfield (TSP Host) and Will Dawe/Leon Burton (Saints Archive) have the pleasure of reminiscing with Terry about some of his most memorable career moments.Whether it was Club or Country, Terry has many fantastic stories to share in this episode.Twitter: @TotalSaintsPodFacebook: www.facebook.com/totalsaintspodE-Mail: [email protected]: www.patreon.com/totalsaintspod2019-20 Sponsor: Happy Hot TubsPartners: Saints Archive and SaintsWorld

This episode sees TSP undertake Part 2 of their Saints Squad Assessment - focussing on midfield and attack (TSP109 for Part 1 – GK and defence).Ben Stanfield (Host) is joined by the same merry band – regular panellist Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10 Blog), Freddie Hunt (The Ugly Inside) and Simon Peach (Press Association).TSP112 discusses what may happen to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer, whether Saints may be forced to try and reintegrate Mario Lemina into the squad, how many more chances Sofiane Boufal is likely to get, as well as the likelihood of Moi Elyounoussi returning from Celtic and ‘tearing it up’ in the Premier League.Moving further forward, Danny Ings has been a sensation for Saints this season, but do Che Adams, Shane Long and Michael Obafemi give the Club enough firepower heading into 2020-21? Does Adams have attitude problems, is Obafemi too injury prone, will Shane Long be offered a new contract……or could Guido Carrillo offer the team some much needed physicality up front?The TSP views and opinions are, as ever, a blended mix of honesty, constructiveness and reality.Twitter: @TotalSaintsPodFacebook: www.facebook.com/totalsaintspodE-Mail: [email protected]: www.patreon.com/totalsaintspod2019-20 Sponsor: Happy Hot TubsPartners: Saints Archive and SAINTSWORLD

The latest edition of Total Saints Podcast sees us undertake our first 'squad assessment'.Ben Stanfield (Host) is joined by Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10 Blog), Freddie Hunt (The Ugly Inside) and Simon Peach (Press Association) to chat about the strengths and weaknesses in the current Saints squad.In Part One (of 2) we focus on ‘the wrong end of the pitch’ - goalkeeping and defence!Is Alex McCarthy the long-term 'number one'? Is Angus Gunn developing or going backwards? Could Fraser Forster re-establish himself in goal - or will he move on this summer?Ryan Bertrand is our only noticeable left-back nowadays. But does he still have the hunger to play for Saints? Is he coming under any pressure from Jake Vokins?At Right-Back, with Cedric departing this summer, are we confident Kyle Walker-Peters is the best replacement? Can Yan Valery improve his concentration and consistency? Should we be looking to buy someone else?....and then there's Centre-Back! Jack Stephens and Jan Bednarek seem to be progressing well, but surely we need to strengthen here? If so, with who? Can we sell Vestergaard and/or Hoedt? Should Wesley actually be given another chance? Is this the position where all/any transfer funds should be focussed immediately?So much to cover, across arguably the most concerning areas of the Southampton FC squad!Give it a listen and see what our panel think!Part 2 out soon….Twitter: @TotalSaintsPodFacebook: www.facebook.com/totalsaintspodE-Mail: [email protected]: www.patreon.com/totalsaintspod2019-20 Sponsor: Happy Hot TubsPartners: Saints Archive & SaintsWorld

Matthew Le Tissier is arguably the greatest footballer to ever play for Saints. The legendary number 7 was renowned for scoring wonderful goals, thrilling crowds and being instrumental in helping the Club regularly survive in the Premier League. TSP therefore considers itself incredibly lucky to welcome ‘Le God’ on this episode, as he joins Will Dawe (Saints Archive) and Ben Stanfield (Host) for the latest ‘Total Recall’. Alongside that, TSP104 includes Robbie from SaintsWorld, who talks about a new online SW Group – encouraging a variety of posts and posters. Complimenting all the above, regulars Steve Grant (Owner of SaintsWeb), Lucy Highnett and Glen de la Cour (Owner of League One Minus 10) reflect on a disappointing performance from Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men at West Ham United, ahead of previewing next weekend’s tricky looking fixture versus Newcastle United.
