In the 32nd Patreon bonus podcast you join me in Teesside at a location which has served the town of Middlesbrough since 1889. An impressive building which has rose to infamy in recent years for its ghostly inhabitants, most famously that of a man who committed suicide while being held prisoner here.

So join me and let us ask, together, just how haunted is Middlesbrough Town Hall? Join me for a Newcastle After Dark ghost walk.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work? The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints. Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade?

It's the final Total Saints Podcast of the season, and unfortunately, there is still only one place to start: the fallout from Southampton's failed Spygate appeal.Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and George Rees-Julian to look back on another extraordinary few days at Saints, following the dismissal of the club's appeal against the EFL sanctions and the publication of the Independent Disciplinary Commission's written reasons. The panel discuss the seriousness of the findings, the pressure placed on junior members of staff, the club's handling of the situation, the ongoing FA investigation and the deafening silence from those in positions of leadership.There is also a lengthy discussion about Tonda Eckert's future, whether there is any realistic way back for him, and what Southampton now need to do to begin repairing the damage done to supporters, players, staff, commercial partners and the wider reputation of the club.Attention then turns to the summer ahead. With Saints now preparing for another season in the Championship, the panel look at which players are likely to stay or go, the uncertainty around Daniel Peretz, Aaron Ramsdale and the goalkeeper position, the sellable assets in midfield, and the decisions facing the club over players such as James Bree and Ross Stewart.The team also reflect briefly on Hull City's play-off final win over Middlesbrough, the likely needle when Saints and Boro meet again next season, and what the result said about the play-offs Saints were removed from.There is also time for the final TSP admin of the season, including the Prediction League winners, the signed Atlanta Primus shirt giveaway, Patreon-exclusive merch updates, thanks to our sponsors Steam Town Brewery and Paul Castle Associates, and a farewell to George Rees-Julian as he makes his final TSP appearance before leaving The Echo.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Rafa Pastrana y José Pérez para analizar todo lo ocurrido en el fin de semana final, la jornada 38, de la Premier League 2025-2026... Comenzando por el definitorio triunfo del Tottenham sobre el Everton para lograr su agónica salvación; a costa de un West Ham que ganó con rotundidad al Leeds pero fue demasiado poco, demasiado tarde en una temporada que ha supuesto su primer descenso en 15 años; mientras que veintidos han sido los años desde el último título de liga del Arsenal y tras ganar al Crystal Palace pudieron llevar a cabo la ceremonia del levantamiento del trofeo; al Manchester City, por su parte, le vimos perder contra el Aston Villa en una tarde de despedir a leyendas del club como jugadores y también su entrenador; algo que también hizo el Liverpool (de momento no del entrenador) en su empate final con el Brentford; algo por lo que tuvo que pasar el Bournemouth, empatar, contra el Nottingham Forest para no darse así ninguno de los tres resultados que necesitaba el equipo de Andoni Iraola para clasificar a la Champions; algo que debió saber casi igual de dulce, clasificarse para la Europa League, para el Sunderland tras una épica victoria final sobre el Chelsea; así como el Brighton cayó ante el Manchester United (de un Bruno Fernandes de récord) y a la Conference League; algo que ni siquieran podían alcanzar ni Fulham ni Newcastle pero fue el equipo de Marco Silva quien ganó; cosa que ni Burnley ni Wolverhampton pudieron hacer en su batalla por no terminar último de la Premier League; competición a la que asciende el Hull City tras ganar al Middlesbrough en la final del play-off y el Bolton, en la división, al Stockport; y mucho más.Apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/159149217Además...

There's also praise for the team's fitness and resilience, with Middlesbrough visibly tiring as the tie went deeper into extra time.There's plenty to unpack from a fiery evening too, including the Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Luke Ayling incident, the ball boy controversy, Andy Madley's refereeing performance, and several penalty claims that could easily have changed the direction of the game.The conversation also turns to the ongoing spying controversy between Southampton and Middlesbrough.

Welcome to Episode 379 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton Football Club.Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to look back on a dramatic few days for Saints, both on and off the pitch.This week, the panel begins with the story nobody expected to be discussing: Spygate. Middlesbrough accused Southampton of spying on a training session at their Rockliffe Park base, before the EFL confirmed that Saints had been charged with breaches of its regulations. The panel discuss what is currently known, how Saints may respond, whether the club are likely to contest the charge, and what kind of punishment could follow.Then it's on to the play-off semi-final itself, as Saints somehow left the Riverside with a 0-0 draw after a brutal first half against Middlesbrough. Boro dominated the opening 45 minutes, registering 17 shots while Saints failed to have one of their own, but Southampton stood firm thanks to some huge defensive moments from Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Nathan Wood, James Bree and Daniel Peretz.The second half brought a much-improved Saints performance, helped by the introduction of Ross Stewart and Shea Charles. The panel discuss why the first half went so badly, whether Flynn Downes' return helped or hindered the balance, the struggles of Caspar Jander and Finn Azaz, and whether Kim Hellberg's side may have already played their best football of the tie.There is also a look ahead to Tuesday night at St Mary's, where Saints will need one more big performance to keep the unbeaten league run going and book a place at Wembley. The panel give their score predictions and discuss the importance of the atmosphere, the coach arrival, and turning the fallout from the week into a proper siege mentality.Plus, there is a reminder for patrons in the Bobby Stokes, James Beattie, Francis Benali and Mick Channon tiers to complete the Patreon merch form by May 20th so the end-of-season exclusive merch packages can be prepared.We'll be back on Wednesday night at 7pm to react to the second leg.

In the end they had a four-point cushion, but Newport County certainly put their fans through wringer in avoiding relegation from the Football League. Two consecutive wins - for the first time this season, and both coming from behind - ensured their survival. How's that for grit and determination? But how can the club avoid another fight for survival next season? And will manager Christian Fuchs be around to build on his early promise?One goal was all that separated Wrexham from the Championship play-offs. They had their chances to beat Middlesbrough in the final game of the season, but the unrelenting rise up the divisions has come to a stop... for now. Is it inevitable, given the ambitions of the owners, that the club will reach the Premier League within the next three seasons?And after Sam brought down the curtain on a 20-year playing career on Saturday, he talks us through the emotions of his final appearance as a professional footballer...and how a 92-year-old Burnley fan made sure he was at Gillingham to say goodbye to his favourite player for the last time. It's "garden centres and school runs" for him now.
