Folge vom 09.03.2026Episode 364 - Total Saints PodcastWe're doing Benali on Tour, please sponsor us if you can! https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echoSouthampton are into the FA Cup quarter-finals after a late Ross Stewart penalty secured a 1–0 win at Fulham, extending Saints’ unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions.It was a game of missed opportunities at Craven Cottage. Saints created chances through Scienza, Larin and Azaz, while Fulham also struggled to convert promising moments in a match that rarely found its rhythm. The decisive moment finally arrived in stoppage time when Fin Azaz was brought down in the box and Ross Stewart calmly converted from the spot.The result not only sends Saints into the last eight of the FA Cup but continues the remarkable turnaround under Tonda Eckert. When he arrived, the club sat 21st in the Championship — now Saints are pushing for the play-offs while also making progress in the cup.We break down the key moments from the Fulham game, including the controversial disallowed goal, the missed chances at both ends and the impact of Fulham making nine changes to their side. We also discuss confidence within the squad, the importance of extending the unbeaten run and who stood out in our Player of the Week discussion.The focus then turns quickly back to the league as Saints travel to West Brom on Wednesday night, with the Championship schedule beginning to intensify. With West Brom currently on a long winless run, Saints will be hoping to continue their momentum and keep climbing the table. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Folge vom 02.03.2026Episode 363 - Total Saints PodcastSaints made it nine unbeaten in all competitions with a 3–1 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough — a result that felt more professional than spectacular, but no less important in the context of the season.All three goals came from defenders, with James Bree continuing his remarkable scoring run, Ryan Manning delivering another superb free-kick just before half-time, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis finishing the job from a corner. It capped off a strong three-game week that produced seven points from a possible nine, nine goals scored and just two conceded.With Saints now only four points off the play-off places, the conversation is starting to shift. Is this still about play-off hope, or has it become expectation? We discuss the growing defensive solidity, the ability to manage games, and the response after Sheffield Wednesday briefly threatened to make it a contest at 2–1. There’s also a reflection on squad depth, rotation under Tonda Eckert, and whether the balance now looks more settled than at any point earlier in the campaign.We also address the ongoing concerns around Ross Stewart’s fitness, Cam Bragg’s contribution in midfield, and what this current run really tells us about Saints’ mentality ahead of a crucial stretch of fixtures.Finally, we look ahead to Fulham away in the FA Cup. Is it a chance to test ourselves against Premier League opposition, or should full focus remain on promotion?Nine unbeaten. Momentum building. The season is very much alive. Hosted on Acast.

Please sponsor us if you can! - https://saintsfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/total-saints-podcast-x-daily-echoSaints responded in style.After the frustration of Charlton, Southampton delivered a five-star performance at St Mary’s, thrashing QPR 5–0 to climb to 7th in the Championship and reignite the playoff push.In this episode of the Total Saints Podcast, we look back at a dominant display that saw Finn Azaz back among the goals, Matsuki stake a serious claim for a starting place, and Cyle Larin impress on his first league start with some powerful hold-up play. We also discuss James Bree’s knack for spectacular goals, Daniel Peretz’s clean sheet obsession, and whether Saints are finally building real momentum at the right time.With 38 points taken from 21 matches under Tonda Eckert, is this team quietly becoming one of the form sides in the division?The focus then shifts to Hillsborough as Saints head to face Sheffield Wednesday. We’re joined by football writer and Wednesday fan Paul Hirst to discuss the Owls’ off-field turmoil, relegation reality, and what Saints can expect on Saturday.With four consecutive away games coming up, this could define the season.

Folge vom 23.02.2026Episode 361 - Total Saints PodcastSouthampton were left frustrated once again as a dominant display yielded just a point in a 1–1 draw with Charlton at St Mary’s. Despite 72% possession, 28 shots and nine corners, Saints couldn’t turn control into three points. Ross Stewart’s excellent header gave Saints the lead, but defensive lapses and disruptive substitutions allowed Nathan Jones’ side back into it.We analyse the missed chances, the impact of the substitutions, Flynn Downes’ fire and whether criticism of Finn Azaz and Tom Fellows is fair. With seven games unbeaten but slipping to 11th in a congested table, how damaging could this result prove?Attention quickly turns to QPR on Tuesday night. Level on points with Saints and arriving in solid away form, it’s another big test in a crucial week. We preview the match, discuss selection dilemmas and share our score predictions.There’s also discussion on Saints’ FA fine following the Pompey clash, Fulham away in the FA Cup, and the latest on our Benali on Tour fundraiser for the Saints Foundation.
