Oh When The Saints

Thank God it's over. A miserable season concluded in typical Saints fashion on Sunday as we limped tepidly to a 3-0 defeat at West Ham. What went wrong? What's going on with Jan Bednerak? Is Nathan Redmond actually Ali Dia? Is Ralph going to be our manager next season? We discuss all those questions and more on the final Oh When The Saints podcast episode of the 2020/21 season.

Better late than never. Coming to you one day later than planned, Oh When The Saints podcast reviews the Leicester City game and looks ahead to Liverpool away.

It's Groundhog Day. Once again Saints went ahead in the Premier League, and once again they threw those points out of the window.

We discuss Ralph's team selection, his head-scratching subs, Salisu's display, Ings' Euro dream, and Diallo's poor form.

It's an international break special at OWTS podcast! This week we discuss James Ward-Prowse's first goal for England - and we ask, has James done enough to make Gareth Southgate's squad for the Euros?

Che Adams is also on the agenda after making his Scotland debut, and our new contributor Ben Thompson joins us from Edinburgh to give us the Scottish view on Che, Stuart Armstrong and Ben's hopes for Steve Clarke's side at the Euros (in the same group as England by the way!).

However you decide to dress it up - we're well and truly in the muck now. It's 10 defeats from our last 12 Premier League games. Four points taken from a possible 36. Relegation form. Bottom of the table form. Sunday was another low for Saints as we lost 2-1 at home to struggling Brighton. It was a desperately bad defensive display and a pathetically inept attacking performance. Not a great combination. Oh When The Saints podcast breaks down the match, what went wrong, what went right (anything? no), where we go from here, and we give our verdict on Ralph's position.

SOUND THE ALARM - THREE POINTS FOR SOUTHAMPTON! It had been a long time coming but after 10 Premier League matches we finally ended our winless run on Saturday.

Oh When The Saints podcast reviews the major talking points including Ralph's decision to go with Forster, Ralph's substitutions, our lack of creativity, the disastrous performance of Nathan Redmond, more strange refereeing, and much more!

Oh When The Saints podcast reviews all the major talking points from the match. They include: another second-half collapse, a complete absence of leadership, Ralph's decision-making, a penalty overturned, Che Adams' goal ruled out, and much more. Pain.

That didn't last long, did it? After the positives from the 2-0 FA Cup win at Molineux, Saints reverted to form with a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to the same opposition on Sunday, this time in the Premier League. It was the same, old story - a second-half collapse seeing us throw away points from a winning position. We discuss why it keeps happening, plus we ask: 'Is Ralph panicking?' Also on the agenda, we chat about Kyle Walker-Peters' latest injury, our options for Chelsea, and much more. We'd really appreciate if you followed us on our social channels.

Pain. It's been a rough week for us - first the Aston Villa VAR fiasco. Then the Manchester United humiliation. And now the latest, a very different kind of humiliation at Newcastle on Saturday. Pat, Jack, and Mainstone review the performance on Tyneside as we lost our fifth straight Premier League game. Where do we go from here? What's gone so badly wrong with our defence? What changes need to be made for Thursday? And can it be blamed on Ralph, our injuries, the players, rotten luck or a combination of all four?

A red card after 90 seconds? Check. Another VAR disaster? Check. Another Mike Dean horror show. Check. Another nine-goal defeat? Check. There are angry tears all over the microphone this week as we attempt to pick the bones from another shellacking, this time to Manchester United. Where do we go from here? What does it mean for Ralph? Did we learn no lessons from Leicester? Is Mike Dean the world's worst human being referee? Lots of questions to answer as we battle through a podcast we hoped we'd never have to record.

How about that then? Not a bad way to start 2021 as Southampton beat the defending champions Liverpool 1-0 at St Mary's on Monday night. Danny Ings scored the only goal - his 50th in the Premier League - as the Saints moved up to 6th in the table. We are FOUR points off the top. It's January. Pinch me. Ralph collapsed to his knees in tears at the end, yes, it was that kind of evening.

Back to winning ways! Danny Ings returned from injury to earn Southampton a 2-1 win at Brighton on Monday night. Super Jannik Vestergaard scored his 3rd goal of the season to cancel out Pascal Gross' early penalty. Then Danny stepped up with 10 minutes to play to grab all three points after Kyle Walker-Peters was fouled in the box by Solly March. Or was he? VAR got involved after referee David Coote initially gave a free-kick before changing his mind to a spot-kick. Love it. We discuss the controversial decision, plus pick our top performances and look ahead to the Christmas fixture list.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend, Saints fans! A brilliant 2-0 win over Newcastle on Friday night saw Southampton reach the top of the Premier League table for the first time in the club's history. Cue lots of beer consumed on Friday/Saturday. Although results over the weekend have since seen us drop off the summit, it was still an outstanding achievement by Ralph and the boys. It was also the first time since 1988 that we led the way in the top flight. History made. Pat, Jack and Mainstone discuss the match, our brilliant start to the season, Theo Walcott's impressive return to the club, super Che Adams among the goals, what it means to be top of the table, and much much more.

The Saints go marching on, on, on. It's five unbeaten for Ralph's men now after a 4-3 win at Aston Villa, and to be honest, the scoreline flattered the home team. We should have been out of sight after going 4-0 up, but sloppy defending late on made it close. The three points came at a cost too. Jan Bednarek, Ryan Bertrand, and most crucially, Danny Ings, all picked up injuries. Ings, in particular, is concerning as the striker suffered a knee injury and we await news of his scan. The former Liverpool man was blighted by knee problems during his time at Anfield, and it remains to be seen how serious this problem is. Fingers crossed it is not too bad.

Saints are rolling. The lads secured a brilliant 2-0 win over early pace-setters Everton on Sunday to move 6th in the Premier League. It was a complete team performance with goals from James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams, before Lucas Digne was sent off for a straight red card in the second half. Southampton are now unbeaten in four games, an excellent response to defeats to Crystal Palace and Tottenham in our first two matches. Pat, Jack and Mainstone are joined for the first time by former Southampton journalist Joe Batchelor as the quartet break down all the major talking points from St Mary's.

Lots to discuss on this week's episode of OWTS. We start with a look back at our 3-3 draw against Chelsea, a superb result for the Saints at Stamford Bridge. Southampton twice battled back from behind to earn a point, with Jannik Vestergaard heading home a stoppage-time equaliser to extend our unbeaten run to three games. Pat and Jack recap the match before welcoming a very special guest to the podcast - former Saints and Everton midfielder Barry Horne. Barry joins us to discuss his time at Saints, playing alongside Matt Le Tissier, Alan Shearer and others, his favourite Southampton memories, and his thoughts on Saints' next opponents - Everton - who also happen to be the club Barry supports.

Two wins in a row, two clean sheets in a row! And a new centre midfielder signed too. It was a great Sunday for Saints as they beat a poor West Brom team 2-0 at St Mary's. Pat, Jack and Mainstone discuss the performance, with impressive displays from Kyle Walker-Peters, Jannik Vestergaard and Oriol Romeu. It may be Romeu's last start for a while too after Saints also confirmed the signing of Ibrahima Diallo from Brest for a £12.7m fee. Diallo is likely to be a direct replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - we chat about the signing and what to expect from Saints on Deadline Day.

Wow. That was bad. Southampton were destroyed 5-2 by Tottenham at St Mary's on Sunday after a disastrous second-half display. Pat, Jack and Mainstone assess the damage from the performance. Who's to blame? Why did we play such a high line? Where is our midfield? Is Alex McCarthy on borrowed time? Any positives to take? Oh, and when are we going to BUY A MIDFIELDER?!?!

A new Premier League season but a familiar feeling for Saints. We are terrible on opening day and that poor form continued as we lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Pat and Jack assess what went wrong with particular focus on Oriel Romeu, Will Smallbone and Nathan Redmond. How will Saints respond with two games in the next 7 days? Pat and Jack discuss what needs to happen in the transfer market, plus look ahead to the Spurs match.

Welcome to episode 21! It was a busy week at St Mary's with no fewer than three signings made - Mohammed Salisu, Kyle Walker-Peters and academy arrival Luke Pearce.

Also on the agenda, transfer talk involving Michael Obafemi, a discussion of potential Saints targets in central midfield, and a brief look at the LD Sports sponsorship story. That's a weird one.

Sky Sports are reporting Southampton have completed a deal to sign Salisu from Real Valladolid for £10.9m. But we've never seen him play. What's he like? Strengths and weaknesses? Is he a dominating centre-back or a play-it-out-from-the-back defender? Maybe both?

On Episode 19 it's an end of season special as OWTS is joined by Jake Hughes from St Mary's Musings. Saints ended on a high with a 3-1 home win over Sheffield United on Sunday. Pat, Jack and Jake briefly recap the game before moving on to review Southampton's entire 2019/20 campaign. A stonking win over Pompey, more ups and downs than a Thorpe Park rollercoaster, and of course THAT October defeat at St Mary's. This season had it all, and that's not even mentioning the small matter of a worldwide pandemic postponing the entire sport of football for three months starting in March. On the agenda > best moments, worst moments, standout players (not named Danny Ings), aims for next season, prospective transfers, what to expect from OWTS over the summer, and much more.

On Episode 18, OWTS returns to review Southampton's 2-0 win at Bournemouth. We're now unbeaten in six games! Can the season never end please. Danny Ings (who else?) opened the scoring before Che Adams sealed the victory in stoppage time, although we did need a helpful VAR intervention to seal the three points. Pat and Jack discuss the main talking points, the standout performances (KWP that's you again), the form of Che, and much more. Plus, Pat speaks to the lads at award-winning Fulham podcast Fulhamish to get the lowdown on Harrison Reed. The midfielder is seriously impressing on loan at Craven Cottage, leading to speculation he could return to St Mary's this summer and potentially fill the void in our first-team left by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's impending departure.
