    Thanks again Ben, another great episode. I’m with Ilia from Sofia, I always look forward to catching TSP on a Monday morning. And that stat about Theo’s chance-creating bodes very well for the future!

    Hey Ben, I wonder if you could do us a favour? Following the efforts of the Newcastle fans at the weekend, one of us (@thereisonlyoneno7) has set up a Just Giving page for Southampton City Catering, a registered charity, and we’re encouraging Saints fans to donate £14.95 to this, rather than giving the money to Sky Box Office for the PPV Villa game on 1st November.

    I wonder if you could possibly give us a shout out on the next Podcast, and maybe on Twitter as well?

    The address is https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/saynotoppv

    Cheers mate <ok>

    On the 13th May 2017, Carlo Ancelotti’s Bayern Munich (5) beat Ralph Hasenhüttl’s RB Leipzig (4) in a dramatic, nine-goal, Bundesliga thriller.

    However, exactly a year to the day since Hasenhüttl suffered a totally different experience involving nine goals (lets promptly leave that there….!), it was Ralph’s turn to get one over on his Italian counter-part this time, as Saints professionally dismantled Premier League leaders, Everton.

    Ben, Steve and Dan Sheldon look back on all the key talking points from another excellent home win at St. Mary’s.

    TSP133 also includes our latest ‘Red & White Insight’, where Toby Steele (Managing Director at Saints) joins us for a chat (28:15) about a number of topical themes, including Club finances, the summer transfer window, Pay-Per-View, ‘Project Big Picture’ and more!

    The episode finishes with a preview of next weekend’s visit to Villa Park (1:11.45), including how the not606 community are trying to help our City by encouraging the ‘£14.95 pay-per-view cost’ to be invested elsewhere!

    Thank you so much Ben, that was really great publicity for the campaign!

    Another excellent Pod too by the way, some fascinating insights from Toby Steele particularly.

    No worries at all, Chilco. Great to see you guys doing that - and also to see its now over £1,000!

    Also just made sure (whether we collectively agree/disagree with PPV etc....) that TSP have contributed to it as well.

    UTS!

    At no point in the ‘How to be a Southampton FC fan’ guide does it ever say life will be easy!

    After a scintillating first 45 minutes against Aston Villa, Saints eventually crawled over the line to win 4-3. It took Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side up to joint 3rd in the Premier League. Yes, that’s right……THIRD!

    With nerves still a little frayed (not just from Halloween!), we try to unpick the key moments from a rollercoaster of a Premier League match.

    In slightly calmer waters, TSP134 also includes a discussion about the recent Leadership Diversity Code (24:00) coverage, including why Saints decided not to sign up to it (at least for the moment). Lastly, there is a preview of next Friday night’s visit to St. Mary’s of Newcastle United (32:10).

    Sorry, did we mention Southampton Football Club are joint 3rd in the Premier League………!?

    “We’re top of the league, we’re top of the league……we are Southampton, we’re top of the league!”

    Yes, 28 years since the Premier League was created, victory against Newcastle United took Saints to the summit of England’s top division.

    While it only lasted for 40 hours or so, getting to first place is an achievement that should be treasured by everyone connected with the Club (and who is to say we won’t get there again soon?!)

    TSP135 sees Ben, Glen, Steve and Simon Peach (PA Media) look back on a memorable Friday night for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side.

    Alongside all that excitement – and ahead of the next International break – we also work our way through some questions from TSP listeners (35:45).

    That was a great listen Ben so thanks very much to you and the other guys.

    My take on Ralph is that he will be here for a very long time and this will be our best period of supporting Saints since the golden days with Lawrie McMenemy. He is clearly building something special and it looks very much like he is investing everything he has for the future. He isn't going to walk away from this any time soon.

    Thanks Kaito. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate you letting us know.

    Let’s hope that’s the case with Ralph. He’s sure made Saints fun to watch/support again.

    We all know football can change in the blink of an eye, so important we enjoy this period while we can.

    Cheers
    B

    Although there's no 'on field' action for Saints this weekend, we've managed to make the most of a quieter period by getting some 'off field' reaction.

    Yes, in our third 'Red & White Insight', Saints CEO, Martin Semmens, kindly agreed to catch up with ourselves again.

    TSP136 sees him reflecting on a number of topical subjects including Saints reaching the summit of the Premier League, keeping Ralph Hasenhuttl, player contracts, fans returning to St. Mary's, the '5 subs' rule, Danny Ings recovery, takeover progress, coverage of the Women's team and more!

    Hopefully it'll go some way to 'filling any void' until the Wolves game arrives!

    Thanks again Ben, fascinating stuff from Martin Semmens. I think a lot of Saints fans would probably agree that while it might well be a good thing if Saints are taken over by someone with more liquid assets than Gao, none of us would want any disruption to the current board, who all seem to be speaking with one voice.

    After yet another international break, Saints return to Premier League action this week with a tough looking trip to Molineux.

    We therefore preview the fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers ending, as per normal, with a range of varied score predictions!

    Alongside that, TSP137 sees us reflect on Oriol Romeu’s new contract (25:35), highlight a great initiative being run by Saints DSA (Disabled Supporters Association) and celebrate a couple of birthdays (including Saints turning 135 years old!).

    Lastly, in the latest ‘International Supporters Club’, we welcome Gjermund Vik from the Norwegian Southampton Supporters (32:50).

    Gjermund talks about the history of one of Saints most northerly (and oldest) supporters’ groups, his own memories of watching the Club over the years, his friendship with Claus Lundekvam and more!

    Not for the first time at St. Mary’s, it was late heartache against Manchester United this weekend. But lets not dwell on that....

    While James Ward-Prowse added to his successful quota of free-kicks, Jan Bednarek extended an unwanted, personal record!

    As per normal, we try our best to work through the key talking points of a game that, once again, toyed with every emotion.

    TSP138 also covers the impending return of fans (albeit in small quantities) to the Premier League (22:45) and previews Saints next fixture, a visit to Brighton and Hove Albion (34:45).

    Lets hope Saints get 'back on track' at the Amex!

    Ralph Hasenhüttl celebrated his second anniversary as Southampton manager with a hard-fought, 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

    The victory also saw Saints become the 11th Premier League representative to achieve 1,000 points.

    Ben, Steve and Glen discuss the key talking points from the match – including Jannik Vestergaard’s (or VesterGOD!?) dominant performance…..and VAR!

    TSP139 also includes the panel’s thoughts on Ralph’s 2-years in charge (25:20), Jan Bednarek’s new contract and previews Sheffield United’s visit to St. Mary’s next Sunday (49:15).

    In addition to all that, the latest ‘TSP – International Supporters Club’ sees Bharathvishal Maheshkumar join the Pod to chat all things ‘Southampton FC India’ (32:30)

    Thanks again Ben! I enjoyed Steve’s breakdown of why the penalty was a penalty, and great to hear Bharath on the Indian Saints journey. Did I hear correctly that 2020 is our most successful calendar year ever?
