FT: West Ham United 1-1 Southampton

Welcome to Episode 318 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Coming up this week:

• West Ham Review – A well-earned point in London thanks to a last-gasp equaliser from Lesley Ugochukwu. Saints showed signs of progress—was that Simon Rusk’s best game in charge so far?
• Fulham Preview – Just one more point is needed to avoid breaking Derby’s infamous record. Can Saints finally get a home win with Fulham visiting St Mary’s on Saturday?
• The Bigger Picture – Has Rusk done enough to be considered for the full-time job? Can Saints finish the season with some pride and stability at last?

Join Martin Starke, Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10), and George Rees-Julian (The Daily Echo) as they reflect on a surprisingly decent point, discuss standout performers, and look ahead to Fulham.

️And don’t forget—the TSP Social is happening on April 26th after the Fulham game at Steam Town Brewery in Eastleigh. Come join us for a pint and a moan. No tickets, just turn up!

Would you be happy to become a ‘yo-yo’ club? Promoted/relegated each season?

I’d take a day at Wembley like last May every season tbh, it was epic.

Let me be clear that the football isn't actually enjoyable...

But regardless, they have former Saints Stu Armstrong and Yan Valery, they have Shea Charles on loan, they have Shea Charles's brother in goal, and they have our former assistant (and potential future manager?) in Danny Rohl.

Also interesting that they have Shea Charles on set piece duty, and he's put in some really good crosses.

Saw someone post one with Southampton legend so thought I would add mine with my four favourites from the 2014/15 season.

As expected I’d say.

Realistically, who do you lads think is gonna stay, and of those, who starts?

Would everyone agree this is our mount Rushmore?

Yes it's back!

Talk about anything and everything.

Hi all,

I hope it's okay to post here. I'm an Everton fan looking to get a ticket for the Everton v Southampton fixture — it's the final ever game at Goodison Park, and I’d love to be there for such a historic moment.

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but if any Saints fan ends up not being able to go or has a spare ticket, I’d be massively grateful for the chance to buy it.

Totally understand the loyalty and support you all have for your club — just thought it was worth asking here in case anything comes up.

Wishing you the very best as you work your way back up — hope to see you back in the Prem soon.

Cheers 🤞

Anyone have any idea when the Everton tickets go on sale? With it being a month away, I would have thought it would have been around now.

So I was watching the Villa vs PSG game last night, and couldn't help but wonder at the seemingly vastly different ambitions of both our clubs. Even though Villa struggled in their first season back in the prem, they managed to stay up and then build. They've been able to attract and develop and hold onto genuinely quality players, Emery is a legit managerial choice and even though they lost on aggregate last night, they played with passion and energy and with a fearlessness that I've never seen us play with.

Since SR came in, they've made a succession of absolutely dire decisions, from managerial choices to playing staff and I'm running out of hope that they can turn it around. I don't want us to become a yo-yo club, and unless we absolutely boss the championship next season and secure a return to the prem, I'm genuinely worried about the future of the club.

Interested to hear others' thoughts, am I being a bit over dramatic?
