See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. Football touches so many aspects of so many people around the world. It strengthens our connections with our friends and family, it divides cities and separates countries. It can both pull us out of and drive us into depression, and it can embody the best and worst of humanity. Football can be a force for good. This week we spoke with FC Not Alone co-founder Matt Legg about his mental health, starting FC Not Alone and working to help young men better address and care for their mental health through football. Dave Champ deserves special thanks for helping to set this interview up. Follow FC Not Alone on Instagram - T

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. This week we are dipping back into the show archive to replay a conversation I had with Kiko Rodriguez back in the summer of 2017. Kiko, on Twitter @KikoRod9, is, among other things, a founding member of @DRNSport and JRod’s dad.  JRod isn’t the focus of the episode, though the links to Burnley and the upcoming match pair nicely. Kiko had struggled with his mental health for a period and he agreed to discuss it a little bit with me on the show. With so many people struggling with their mental health right now, including myself, I felt it was a good time to put it back in the feed. Hopefully, you find it uplifting and encouraging. Also, a special thanks to Robbie @_SaintsinFrance for originally connecting Kiko and I a

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. The cup success continues for Saints who made easy work of a poor Bournemouth side on Saturday afternoon. There wasn’t much Vitality from the hosts as Nathan Redmond ran riot and had it not been for a few VAR decisions (correct ones, we should note) Saints would have embarrassed the Championship side even more. Saints will now take on Leicester City in their semi-final at Wembley in April, but Tom Leach of Hampshire Live and I did not know that at the time we recorded. Tom has been covering Saints for Hampshir

Jack has been on the show several times, but unfortunately this time he got stuck with one of the worst performances of the year. This week he’s here to discuss the losses to City and Brighton. One of them expected, one of them not, and both of them disappointing in their own unique way. If you don’t already follow Jack be sure to do so you are on Twitter and get involved with the discussion about Saints! And, thanks again t

The difference is, it’s not him getting punched in the face or kicked in the stomach when the action starts, which is what every match since January 4th has felt like, at least up until now. Jake is always a pleasure to speak with and I hope you enjoy the little bit we actually put on the show. It’s a tough test for Saints midweek against Manchester City, but hopefully, we can take some momentum into the fixtures that follow.

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. I’ll be honest. We didn’t wait for the Everton match to record this week’s show. Partially it’s because of it being on a Monday night. Partially it’s because the things Chris Rann and I wanted to discuss don’t hinge on any ONE match- not even on the two matches where we lost a combined 18-0. So, it seemed like a good chance to just sit down and talk about Saints And that’s what we did. Chris isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, which makes him a lot of fun to talk to. It was nice to get more than a tweet’s worth of info from him at a time, and I hope you enjoy the conversation. If you have comments, let us know. We are both pretty receptive and open-minded…

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. Saints made some changes this week. They changed formations, changed player positions, changed their recent run in the league (it no longer just has LLLLL) and so we changed up the matchday routine too. This week I jumped on Mike Smales YouTube Channel to watch the match with him and Jack (You can get the channel here). It was a 4:30am kickoff for me, so I hadn’t even had a sip of coffee before kickoff. But, as I injected the caffeine, Taki injected some life into our performance and put us ahead. Chelsea leveled the score from the penalty spot, but overall it was a wonderful match to watch, especi

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. The good news is there were no 9-0 losses this week. The Bad news… well, there’s still plenty. A KWP injury, a record 6th straight league loss for the club, a lack of response from the team, and VAR decisions (you know how those go these days). We can still smile about Stuart Armstrong, moving through in the cup, and I smiled when I spoke with this week’s guest Aydin Osman (on Twitter and Instagram @aydinosman96).

Losses 4 and 5 in a row in the league, a 9-0 defeat with 9 men, and a 3-2 loss to a team with 9 men. Add to it lockdowns, torrential rains, and a job predicated on people being able to actually see you, and you have Tom Deacon. Tom is a comedian, host, presenter, Instagram Chef, a coffee connoisseur, and this week’s guest.

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. Saints were rather predictable this week. A thin lineup, limited goals, more injuries, A deal sheet to get a transfer over the line, letting fullback (who Ralph doesn’t really truest) leave even though we don’t have cover, and us being snubbed in the transfer market for one reason or another. We’ve all been here before, but we keep coming back. If you keep coming back here, then thank you. I appreciate it!

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. Saints managed two wins in the FA Cup since the last episode was released. A Tuesday night victory over Shrewsbury and a Saturday afternoon win against Arsenal means a few things for Saints in the coming weeks. 5th round FA Cup Clash with Wolves is set for February 10th, the 5th of 6 matches in 3 weeks for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side. Saints have further injury concerns with KWP out of action for Tuesday as well. How Ralph manages the minutes over the next couple of weeks will be interesting, to say the least.

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. A depleted Saints squad failed to take anything from Leicester City on Saturday night. But we lost more than just points. With the schedule jammed, further injuries and suspensions mean Saints will look to bring youth into the mix in future matches. In addition to the Leicester City match, Saints released their 2020/2021 accounts and announced a new kit deal with Hummel. Joining me to discuss it all is OneFootball editor Blaise Bourgeois. Blaise is an American living in Mexico and someone whose life could not be less like mine. We have common ground, though in our love of Saints. I enjoyed getting to know Blaise a

With COVID infection rates rising, and Saints’ 3rd Round FA Cup match postponed, for now, Chris Hutchings (@hutchfm on Twitter) joined the show to peel back the layers to the onion Ralph cut last week against LFC, as well as the impact of COVID, the youngsters, and the transfer window.

In fact, it hadn’t happened since a 3-2 come from behind win under Ronal Koeman’s watch. There were a number of reasons Saints should not have won on Monday night, but none of them matter. The squad depth, the injuries, illnesses, and other calamities that reduced the squad to what it was, Hasenhuttl’s record against Klopp. But, none of those mattered. Saints took 3 points from the defending champions and current league leaders, shooting themselves to 6th in the table, and putting in a performance that brought the big man to tears.

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. Saints welcomed Manchester City to St. Mary’s for a 3:00pm kickoff on Saturday. Despite playing with City for 90+ minutes, losing Danny Ings in the first half, and pinning City back for portions of the match, the visitors left the south coast with all 3 points and Saints saw themselves fall to 7th in the table by the time the week’s matches concluded. There is a balance between performances and points. Saints won ugly against Brighton, dispatched Sheffield United, let Arsenal off the hook, and went at City with everything Ralph would have expected. The result just didn’t come off. But, at least there’s still Christmas… oh, wait. Jay Grant, the man behind @Southampton

See how you can get involved at kickitout.org. Last week Saints won ugly. This week they welcomed fans back to St. Mary’s with a dominant, beautiful performance that made all of us smile at least a few times during the 90 minutes. It was an emotional day for many, including the manager himself, and although not everyone could be there, it obviously meant a lot to have fans back behind the team in person. If you were one of the lucky ones to be there in person, congratulations. The other 30,000 hope to join you soon, including Dan from Saints Brass, who joins the show this week. They were not allowed to join in at the stadium this week, and we discuss what the pandemic has been like for them and how footb

The second half was better than the first, but neither was very impressive, especially going forward. But, we took 3 points from the AMEX and saw the return of the king. So, we can celebrate those and learn from the rest. Matt Neuhausen, a Saints fan living in Florida, joins me this week to discuss the match and address your questions.

It was the first loss since Spurs torched Saints’ high backline for 5 goals in September, bringing an end to an undefeated run that stretched 7 matches (5 wins and 2 draws). On the day it was disappointing to lose, given the halftime scoreline. But, on the balance of play, I don’t think it was totally unfair. United were better for much of the match, and Cavani’s movement gave our defense a tough time. Still, there’s plenty to celebrate, including yet another JWP free-kick that was all but
