Season 10 of Total Saints Podcast is underway!
Saints are back in action and there’s plenty to discuss ahead of the first competitive game of the new season.
At the time of recording, Southampton are still waiting to discover what punishment Tonda Eckert will receive after he and the club accepted charges relating to last season’s ‘Spygate’ controversy. With a potential touchline ban hanging over the Saints boss, the panel discuss what punishment might be coming, how long a ban would have to be before the club considered its options and how well Saints have handled a difficult summer.
Steve is also fresh back from Germany as we review Southampton’s pre-season preparations. Lewis Dobbin has certainly made an impression, but what does his form mean for Finn Azaz? We also discuss the striker situation, whether there could yet be a route back for Ross Stewart, Cameron Archer’s future and which big names could still leave before the transfer window closes.
Then attention turns to the first competitive fixture of 2026/27, with Saints travelling to Colchester United in the Carabao Cup First Round on Saturday. How strong will Tonda go, could Cyle Larin feature and what can the game tell us about his preferred XI ahead of the Championship campaign?
Finally, we remember Southampton and England legend Kevin Keegan following his passing, and reflect on just how extraordinary his arrival at The Dell was.
Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Tom Prentki for TSP 384.
