Total Saints Podcast

On Episode 23 of the Total Saints Podcast, Ben Stanfield (host) and Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer at the Daily Echo (and massive Roger Federer fan!)) are joined by Lucy Highnett (@lucyhighnett on Twitter). Conversation covers a decent, albeit unconvincing, 4th Round FA Cup win for Saints against Watford at St. Mary's, as well as the current January transfer window - with just a few hours to go until it 'slams' shut! As well as that, they also look ahead to two massive games for Saints survival hopes - Brighton at home (31/1) and West Bromwich Albion away (3/2). There is no doubting the next 7 days have the ability to make (or break!) Saints Premier League future - with all the key talking points 'nervously' covered in this dedicated Southampton Podcast!Twitter: @totalsaintspodFacebook: www.facebook.com/totalsaintspodE-Mail: [email protected]

Alongside that Ben and Adam discuss the transfer activity (or lack of) by Saints - including ongoing links to Guido Carrillo and Quincy Promes - before finishing with a quick preview (and prediction) of the FA Cup fixture against Watford, next weekend. This is the weekly Southampton Podcast, going to the heart of all things Saints!Twitter: @totalsaintspodFacebook: www.facebook.com/totalsaintspodE-Mail: [email protected]

"Its deja-vu all over again!". Yes, once more Saints manage to grasp defeat (well, it felt like that) from the jaws of victory, after a very contentious (aka blatant!) handball goal in the last minute at Watford – as an entertaining game finishes 2-2. Sadly for Saints, Ben Stanfield (Host) and Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Daily Echo) it was two massive points dropped in the quest for Premier League survival. The lads discuss the worrying similarities this season is now showing with 2004-05 (when Saints were last relegated from the Premier League), the need for VAR (Video Assistant Referees) to be introduced and the upcoming Tottenham Hotspur game at St. Mary's. If that isn't enough, there's also another installment of the World-renowned #askadam. This is the dedicated Podcast that goes to the heart all of things Saints – even the ugly stuff!Twitter: @totalsaintspodFacebook: www.facebook.com/totalsaintspodE-Mail: [email protected]

Ben Stanfield (Host) and Adam Leitch (Chief Sports Writer, Southern Daily Echo) get together for a swift look at the ins and outs of Virgil Van Dijk's record breaking transfer to Liverpool. With a £75m deal now agreed between Liverpool and Southampton, discussion covers how Saints should be looking to move forward. The transfer window is about to open, and there is a stack of cash currently burning a hole in the pockets of the Board at St. Mary's. With Saints’ season fast turning into a relegation scrap, what will be their next move with that money? Could it be Theo Walcott? TSP Episode 19 endeavours to look at the potential solutions the Club will opt for.

All in all, its been a mixed week for Saints. After thrashing Everton so convincingly last Sunday, they were then cruelly beaten by Manchester City right at the death mid-week, before going on to draw 1-1 at Bournemouth, in the "its not a derby Derby". Ben Stanfield and Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer at the Daily Echo, reflect on all of that, before looking ahead to the next fixture for Southampton, a home match against Arsenal next weekend. With some signs of progress starting to show, just what do Ben and Adam make of Saints at the moment? Tune in to Episode 16 of Total Saints Podcast to find out!

There is no such thing as a dull week at Southampton Football Club, with yet again the Total Saints Podcast having no shortage of things to talk about. In Episode 14, Ben Stanfield and Adam Leitch tackle an appalling and heartless performance by Saints up at Anfield, player attitudes, Mauricio Pellegrino's current predicament, the lack of Board communication and transparency, before finally previewing the upcoming game against Everton. Saints are currently in a tail spin, and look like having a long, dark winter ahead of them. Can the manager keep his job? Can the team pull their socks up and start providing the performances needed? Will the Board communicate with fans at some point? Join the lads to hear what they think!
