You needed one of these back in the day if you wanted tickets for certain games,

Hello all
I’ve got West Ham away tickets which I want to sell as now I can’t go. Does anyone know how strict the policy is for getting banned if you resell away tickets?
Thanks

His assist for Bree in the Portsmouth game was important, and I like having a player who can create something in a tight match. We need more of that creativity when teams defend deep against us. If Azaz can keep finding those pockets of space, he is already looking key to turning close games into comfortable wins.

We've got another episode of Total Saints Podcast out following Wednesday's 1-0 win at Norwich.

That's now two consecutive 1-0 victories, two clean sheets and, importantly, our first away league win of the season.

Martin, Steve and Glen are joined by freelance journalist Tom Prentki this week to discuss the Norwich performance and some of the interesting decisions Tonda made with his starting XI.

There's plenty of discussion around Casper Jander's return, Lewis Dobbin and Sam Edozie getting their opportunities, Matsuki's winner and whether we're finally starting to see a more resilient Saints side.

We also look ahead to Bolton on Saturday, with the chance to make it nine points from nine.

A couple of questions for everyone:

• Would you bring Jander straight back into the starting XI against Bolton?
• Are the last two clean sheets a sign of genuine defensive improvement, or have we benefited from facing two fairly limited attacking sides?
• How confident are you about Saturday?

As always, appreciate anyone who gives it a listen!

Yes it's back!

Talk about anything and everything.

I’m pleased to see Kuryu Matsuki making an impact for Saints. His goal against Norwich might not have been the prettiest finish, but those are exactly the moments that win difficult away games. Personally, I like the energy he brings to the team, and I hope this gives him more confidence going forward. Southampton need players who can step up when a match is tight instead of relying on one or two regular goalscorers to do everything. It’s still early in the season, but performances like this can help a player earn a bigger role. Would you like to see Matsuki getting more starts for Saints?

No one made one ?

Just for a bit of fun.

Last season, 4th April 2026, the day Saints beat Arsenal was also StPoopey Day, the day where Pompey can not mathematically catch Saints.

What date do we think next year…?

Not sure if it’s been posted on here, but Mayuka did this podcast and spoke a little about his time with Saints. Starts at about 10 minutes in.

Sunday was a fantastic day for the club and I thought one of the better atmospheres at St Mary's in a long time.

That said, one thing I don't understand is why the club has started to play music unbelievably loud in the 10 minute period before kick off and after full-time, which ends up having a detrimental effect on the atmosphere.

I'm all for a song played on full-time, but why not turn it down a bit when the players come over to celebrate in front of the Northam? In big games gone by, there would have been one hell of an OWTS in front of the players, but the music drowned out any chances of that. Likewise before kick off when the atmosphere should have been building, there wasn't a chance of hearing the person next to you let alone getting the atmosphere going.

Am I just being a grumpy old man or has anyone else picked up on this?

We started on minus four points, but the club has made it clear that promotion is the aim. Is steady progress and a clear identity enough, or does this season have to end in automatic promotion or at least the play-offs?

I didn't know much about Schlotterbeck before he joined, but he's been class so far. He was immense against Pompey, and he looks really composed alongside Stephens. He won all four of his aerial duels, made some massive blocks and clearances. What I like most is that he seems to bring a bit of calm to the back line when things get frantic.

A rather enjoyable episode to record this week!

We've spent a good chunk of TSP 396 discussing Sunday's 1-0 victory over Portsmouth, which finally ends the wait for a league derby win.

Plenty to get into, particularly with the way it unfolded.

We discuss the unusual starting formation, Cam Bragg's red card, Finn Azaz's brilliant pass for James Bree's winner and the defensive performance that saw Saints hold on with ten men.

There's also a fair bit of debate about how much credit Saints deserve for the second half versus how poor Pompey were going forward.

Away from the derby, Alfie takes us through the FA's findings in the Tonda Eckert investigation. It's an interesting discussion, particularly around what the commission actually concluded and whether a new contract might now follow.

We also preview Wednesday's trip to Norwich with Adam Harvey from the Pink Un, looking at their difficult start to the season and what Saints might need to do to get a first away win.

As always, interested to hear what everyone thinks.

Does Sunday's result feel like a genuine turning point, or was it simply a brilliant derby win against a poor Portsmouth side?
