About this episode

The episode discusses Southampton's recent match against Bristol City and their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

Welcome to Episode 375 of the Total Saints Podcast! This week, Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to look back on Southampton’s 2-2 draw with Bristol City — a result that may have dented hopes of automatic promotion, but did little to erase the momentum and resilience built during a remarkable unbeaten run. The panel reflect on a frustrating night at St Mary’s, where Saints never quite found their rhythm, conceded two poor goals, and were second best for long spells, but still showed the spirit to come from behind twice. There’s discussion around the tactical setup, the impact of Jack Stephens dropping out in the warm-up, some below-par individual performances, and whether the Bristol City game simply came one match too far in a relentless run. Attention then turns to Wembley, with Southampton preparing for an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City. The team discuss whether it’s a free hit, what sort of side Tom may pick, whether Saints can realistically lay a glove on City, and why the occasion itself still matters regardless of the result. There’s also chat on the extra ticket allocation, the expected sea of yellow at Wembley, Championship clubs…
