Introduction and Podcast Setup
00:00:13
DailySaintsPod
Hello Saints fans and welcome back to the Daily Saints pod. My name is Greg and as always today joined by my good friend and wonderful co-host Zach.
Football Comeback and Unexpected News
00:00:25
DailySaintsPod
And mate, one of the most incredible comebacks in football history and it won't even be the top footballing story of the night because some bloke won't cut his hair. What are we saying? What?
00:00:41
Zak
It's, it's, oh, don't tell a lie, they've leveled, but that isn't a win.
Leicester Fans' Reaction and Southampton's Struggles
00:00:47
Zak
Yeah, no, you're right. That has become, like, the fact that it's been all I've seen all day from Sky Sports News is them talking about that bloke. And I don't know, I feel like the Leicester fans are shell-shocked, mate. But I think I'm more shell-shocked because you put it quite good.
00:01:03
Zak
the halftime where you like, don't worry, Dr. Southampton's here to fix your problem. We're going to, we're going gift you three points. going to have a striker score for the first time in like 47 games or the second, second time in 47 games. You know, we're, we're there to what's that failing, failing, failing strike force. Don't worry. We'll, we'll gift you a goal.
Analyzing Southampton's Tactical Issues
00:01:24
Zak
And that doesn't like, to be fair, the first, the first half dire,
00:01:30
Zak
Rest in peace Cameron Archer's Southampton career. That's my... know it's not entirely on don't know.
00:01:36
DailySaintsPod
Look, right, let's get this discussion out of the way because, and I'll start by saying, he was poor, right?
00:01:37
Zak
I don't know. don't know. don't know. don't know.
00:01:45
DailySaintsPod
But also, just played the same way we tried to play to Ross Stewart, which isn't going to work because he isn't Ross Stewart.
00:01:53
DailySaintsPod
He's a different player, a different profile of player.
00:02:07
DailySaintsPod
And the other time, he was offside. But, you know, it's not entirely on him. But not having that out option cost us. And, I mean, to be fair, 3-0 in the first half really flattered Leicester.
00:02:20
DailySaintsPod
They weren't as good as that score suggested. We were poor, but they were two moments of quality. And one... I mean, what was Peretz doing, man? Like...
00:02:30
Zak
When I tell you Boric vibes, I knew that it would result in most of the time playing really, really well. And then occasionally just a couple of... We've seen it the last two or three games in a row where there's been really horrible moments that he's managed to get away with.
00:02:45
Zak
Last game specifically, that's two minutes in.
00:02:46
DailySaintsPod
Mm-hmm.
00:02:48
Zak
And he was always eventually going to get punished. And yeah, trying to come out. same thing with... We got lucky a couple of times. I think at one point, there was like... Taylor Harbour, Benes and Stephens both missed a header that resulted in them almost scoring. But the difference today has been, which I never thought we'd say, we actually put in the fight and also it worked.
Southampton's Resilience and Turnaround
00:03:08
Zak
Even when that fourth goal went in, which was a beautiful goal from Shea Charles, by the way,
00:03:14
Zak
I kind of was just like, really? Just waiting for like offside to be given or something. Like, this doesn't happen to us. We're not that team.
00:03:20
Zak
We are, as you pointed out, we're Dr. Southampton. We'll fix all of your problems and take the hit on against our points tally.
00:03:27
DailySaintsPod
I'll tell you now, mate, I wasn't waiting around to look for an offside flag.
00:03:30
DailySaintsPod
I was down the other end of the lounge with my shirt off. Lucky I didn't wake up the entire street. I couldn't believe it. It's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever witnessed.
00:03:40
Zak
I, it's very, to be like, they went up, they're really aggressive the beginning.
00:03:40
DailySaintsPod
Uh...
00:03:44
Zak
Like, it was really disappointing from us, but spoke about it you in the preview. It's like wounded animal syndrome, right? Like, they were at home, were extremely damaged, you know, by everything off the field, on the field.
00:03:50
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:03:56
Zak
But I also would like to point out that, like, they brought off an 18-year-old and brought on a 17-year-old. That's the level of their squad depth. we were able to rectify the problems that we had by bringing on, you know, Ross Stewart, bringing on Shea Charles, who then obviously went on to score the winner.
00:04:11
Zak
And obviously, you know, Matsuki for Fellows, who also was having a bit of an off day. It's the first time I've really seen us... start to properly utilise our strong bench right that's that's two games in a row we've won with quality off of the bench which is something that for the rest of the season hasn't hasn't really happened and you know was just a very I'm just still a bit bit bit crazed like I felt so bad for those people have been out there going all the way up to Leicester to watch us be 3-0 down and I'm like oh I'd almost packed in at half time I'm not gonna lie
00:04:36
DailySaintsPod
No, mate, we talked...
00:04:44
DailySaintsPod
Yeah? Mate, I almost said to you at halftime, let's just record the podcast now. And let me tell you, that would have been a very different podcast than we are recording now, but...
The Psychology Behind the Comeback
00:04:54
DailySaintsPod
But we talked before the game about psychology and psychologists and mental resilience and the importance of that.
00:04:54
Zak
Nope.
00:05:17
Zak
Nope.
00:05:19
DailySaintsPod
That's just not us.
00:05:22
Zak
My wife had the audacity, mate, to try and say, that's very Saints coming back and winning I was like, no, it's not. Saints would be giving them nine. That's literally a lantern.
00:05:30
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:05:33
Zak
So, yeah, you're right. The mental fortitude to be able go back. I expected us to do what we've done lot of this season last season, which is, at best, we maybe score one, alternatively, we see it out without conceding another goal.
00:05:47
Zak
Not only did we not concede another goal, we scored four. What happens the second halves? Oh, Tonda doesn't do second halves. Turns out that's just flipped on its head.
00:05:57
DailySaintsPod
I mean, and... just... It's crazy. And I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for Leicester. I mean, the Leicester commentators that I had from my chalet in France definitely helped me feel not as bad for Leicester, don't get me wrong. But can you imagine...
00:06:15
DailySaintsPod
losing a game in that manner and then having to go the team that beat you like that's home at the weekend and play them again like how how do you pick yourself up and go and do that i like i know that it's going to be different teams like it's going to be a ridiculous amount of rotation but but man like
00:06:26
Zak
After they've already beaten you once at home 3-0. Mm-hmm.
00:06:40
DailySaintsPod
It's crazy. I can't believe, never in a million years, like I said to you when we got the second back, rescuing a point here is probably good enough based on the position we got ourselves in in that first half.
00:06:55
DailySaintsPod
I just can't believe it. I can't believe the quality that came on.
Substitutes' Impact on Victory
00:07:00
DailySaintsPod
Subs making an impact, Stewart scoring...
00:07:04
DailySaintsPod
almost immediately, Matsuki just putting himself about in a way that they didn't have an answer for, right?
00:07:06
Zak
Yep.
00:07:12
Zak
Nope.
00:07:12
DailySaintsPod
That we didn't see fellows do at all in the first half.
00:07:16
Zak
Jack Stephens showing captain, you know, all over, like manages to score the harder one out of the two that he struck, right?
00:07:20
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:07:24
DailySaintsPod
Where did that volley come from? That's a finish any strikers proud of, to be clear.
00:07:26
Zak
Again, like...
00:07:30
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:07:30
Zak
Showing the credentials that he had at the beginning the season with our win against Wrexham. And then Ryan Manning, who has been, guess rightly or wrongly, but I'd say rightly on the most part, criticised by us.
00:07:41
Zak
Coming in, scoring another really good goal. Once again, putting us in doubt.
00:07:45
DailySaintsPod
in the right position, puts it in the net.
00:07:46
Zak
Yeah.
00:07:48
DailySaintsPod
Great. And then, yeah, Shea Charles just capitalizing, like you say, on a mistake and we want to finish. Just like...
00:08:03
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:08:04
Zak
Like, when we're bringing on sort of Ross Stewart, they're bringing on 900-year-old Jordan Ayo. Like, I do feel sorry for them to an extent, but not enough for me to not want to gloat about it.
00:08:18
Zak
Like, it really sucks, but also, like, we've blown a lead before. I don't remember us blowing a lead that bad. Not in a long time. Like, that's pretty...
00:08:26
DailySaintsPod
Thank you.
00:08:27
Zak
That's just tragic, quite frankly. Like, you... we gave them all of the hope in the world and then tore it asunder. Like, I can't work out if it was a masterclass or completely accidental. But again, like, it comes back to that conversation we had about mental fortitude and the ability for our team to just, know, go on and do that.
00:08:47
Zak
Like, man, I'm so proud of all of them today. Because again, by half time, I was very convinced that that was kind of game set match, right?
00:08:55
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. Yeah. I just can't believe it. I'm still completely shocked, baffled, amazed.
00:09:07
Zak
What was the stat you gave?
00:09:08
Zak
This is the first time in the entirety of the history of the club we've ever come back from 3-0 down.
00:09:13
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, I haven't...
00:09:15
DailySaintsPod
I saw that banded about. haven't verified it. So, grain of salt. Yeah.
00:09:20
Zak
Grain of salt, but still, I can't remember a time. Maybe when
Historical Significance of the Win
00:09:24
Zak
we beat Huddersfield? How many? Was that like
00:09:30
DailySaintsPod
Yes. Yeah, I think that finished 5-3, but I don't think there was ever more than a two-goal lead in it.
00:09:39
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, I mean, it's just... It's not a game... It feels like the sort of thing that, if it had happened, you would absolutely remember. So...
00:09:48
Zak
Yeah, because it's very much, it feels like it never really has happened to us or happens to us. We're very much usually on the other side, right? And that's we talked about earlier. Like your rage-filled tweets to me about like, don't worry, we'll give you whoever, you know, we'll sort it out for you guys. You know, no manager, suspended players, don't worry about it.
00:10:09
Zak
And for us to actually, again, like it's, almost more damaging. And as you pointed out, the psychological damage of that followed by Saturday, regardless of whether or not we care about the FA Cup or not, it's going to be difficult.
00:10:24
Zak
It's brutal, and I'm here for it.
00:10:26
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. mean, the most upsetting part of all of it is that kicking Leicester while they're down like that probably does Pompey a favour.
00:10:36
Zak
Yeah, but if we're still here next season, do you not want another South Coast derby?
00:10:40
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. Oh, absolutely, I do.
00:10:43
Zak
Well, there you go.
00:10:43
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:10:44
Zak
We want one where we win, for starters.
00:10:46
DailySaintsPod
Don't want it to be our hand that saves me, mate. Come on, have some pride.
00:10:50
Zak
Yeah, no, for sure. But that also puts us into ninth, by the way. we're now in the top half.
00:10:54
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, one point now off of playoffs.
00:10:59
Zak
Which is, man, that's an upsetting statistic, isn't it?
00:11:02
DailySaintsPod
Wrexham and Preston both have games in hand that could change that
Learning from Mistakes and Future Outlook
00:11:08
Zak
for sure, but even so, the turnaround has been quite substantial. And again, I was fully ready to embrace a very, very depressing episode this evening and sort of like what happened there and what could we do better?
00:11:09
DailySaintsPod
to more points, but...
00:11:25
Zak
And especially with the fact that for a vast majority of the season, and know just repeating myself here, but we talked about how we weren't a second-half team. And that's been flipped on its head. The last two games, we've won in the second half and we've won from the impact of substitutions, which previously was something that just didn't happen.
00:11:44
Zak
And yeah, just think it's a fantastic night for everybody. A fantastic night for all those people that have gone on probably one of the largest away days in the middle of the week would have seen the absolute...
00:11:48
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:11:53
DailySaintsPod
Game that got brought forward instead of pushed back as well. Like, difficult.
00:11:56
Zak
Yeah, exactly that. You know, and by far the best viewing around the championship today is, right?
00:11:58
DailySaintsPod
Short notice.
00:12:02
Zak
Like Norwich beat Oxford 3-0, Birmingham, West Brom 0-0.
00:12:06
Zak
And again, all out shone by the fact that some bloke's not going get haircut.
00:12:10
DailySaintsPod
Crazy.
00:12:11
Zak
Devastating.
00:12:12
DailySaintsPod
It's important though, not to, or for the team, it's important for the team to not get too caught up in the joy and still learn from what happened in that first half though, right?
00:12:23
Zak
Yeah, 100%.
00:12:24
DailySaintsPod
That's not something that we're going to get away with.
00:12:27
DailySaintsPod
maybe ever again. So it's, it's important to think about it, but I mean, Yander not having his best game.
00:12:38
Zak
Yeah.
00:12:40
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. Archer we've talked about, but yeah, just not, wasn't helped by the system we set up and tried to play him as it was always strange choice to put him in.
00:12:48
Zak
No, you're... Yeah.
00:12:51
DailySaintsPod
To be honest, it,
00:12:52
Zak
It's a... If...
00:12:53
DailySaintsPod
It'll be like throwing him up the river without paddle.
00:12:56
Zak
It very much feels like they've obviously promised him some game time after his move fell apart, right?
00:13:01
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:13:03
Zak
And the idea of not adapting for him seems kind of nuts, not having those conversations. We've pointed this out every time it's happened, right? And again, as soon as they brought on that target man, the quality was different. And again, part of the reason that we won that game was down to Leicester's change of tactics towards the end. The fact that they kind of just thought, we're just going to go defensive now, to a back five, make substitutions and kind of try and see out the game.
00:13:28
Zak
despite the fact that we'd scored one and they were rocky, was very, very silly. And if it wasn't those sort of decisions, we probably wouldn't have managed to win that, if I'm totally honest, if they carried on pressing the way they did in the first half. So yeah, it's very important we try not to completely capitulate that again.
00:13:50
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, it's fantastic.
00:13:53
Zak
Am I happy about the way this win took place? Yes. Is it going talked about for ages? Yeah. Are me and Greg accidentally buzzing? Yeah. Did we have to take a break before we started recording to actually compose ourselves enough to talk in a way that we're able to discuss the game without just, don't know, screaming, let's have or something to the equivalent?
00:14:01
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:14:13
Zak
Also, yes. However...
00:14:16
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:14:16
Zak
However, you know, as great as that was, we should have been like winning like two or three nil early doors, put it to bed, see out the game and not, you know, concede three goals in often.
00:14:30
Zak
Well, one of a magical bit people, you know, two of the others probably definitely preventable. So, yeah, I don't know how I feel.
00:14:39
DailySaintsPod
Someone we've not talked about, mate. I've just had a stat pop up on my screen in front of me. We talked about him not being entirely out the races in some games recently, but gets the pass because he's the player that still seems to drag the team up. Leo Sienza created four big chances against Leicester this evening, the most by a player in a single championship game since October 2023.
00:15:05
Zak
Well, you can see that with the Ross Stewart goal, right? Like you could see, and it's the first half again, it's always like you're always going to focus more on everything that's negative. And with Sienza, it's very much like we're very, very praise heavy because one, the bloke's just a great bloke. And the fact he's very, very good at football. have been times where we probably should have been maybe a bit more critical when he's not made a pass that he should have. But the other reason we don't really bring up those criticisms is because the consistency of doing things like that. He's the one that scored the goal against Portsmouth. He's the one that kicked us on to the winter night, right?
00:15:40
Zak
All of those things are so vital and why he's become such an integral part and cult hero already, you know?
00:15:47
DailySaintsPod
He sets the standard, right? Even if he's having a poor game, he's putting in 110% and getting kicked absolutely ragged and still trying to run out players, even if it's not always coming off. And that desire and that drive filters across the rest of the team. There's no other way to put it. And I've seen praise as well. You mentioned earlier Jack Stevens.
00:16:13
DailySaintsPod
I've seen Tonda in some of his post-match presser stuff that's coming out saying that he didn't actually say a huge amount at halftime. But Stevens stepped in and was outstanding and showed leadership and then scored that volley.
00:16:29
DailySaintsPod
Like, yeah. Crazy. I just... Well, I mean, what way to keep the momentum going, right? To
Manager's Influence on Team Performance
00:16:38
DailySaintsPod
come back like that. Like, how can your confidence after that not be at the highest it's been in, what, 18 months?
00:16:48
Zak
Yeah. And like there are, kind of means that like we've talked about the criticisms a little bit and it definitely covers those up because if we're able to like counter that, it's a nice thing, right? Like we talked about Archer and you also kind of had some criticisms for Azaz because this guy just won't run sometimes and those kind of things, again, like had it gone completely the way, it'd be different.
00:17:11
Zak
But the fact the matter is, is the momentum is with us. So it's kind of nice that we just get to be like, oh man, look at how well we're doing. You know, so what's that now? Like how many points out of the last five?
00:17:23
DailySaintsPod
Well, mate, that's four wins and a draw.
00:17:25
Zak
Right.
00:17:26
DailySaintsPod
quick maths, there's 13.
00:17:26
Zak
So...
00:17:27
DailySaintsPod
Okay.
00:17:28
Zak
So there you And like, so now it's like pointing out the small nitty gritty things. And again, doesn't take the emphasis on the weird stuff that goes on outside the club. Sports Republic be really happy that this is happening and that they will maybe take some of the emphasis off. And there is still the big worry about what happens in the summer.
00:17:45
Zak
But from the footballing side of things, considering everybody thought that after Tonda got the job, he was a one-trick pony, ourselves to an extent included, right? Can you name a manager in the last seasons that we had pull that off? The last time that someone pulled something like that off was Russell Martin. And all know how that ended. But I don't see a Will Still team doing that.
00:18:05
Zak
I don't see an Ivan Juric team doing that. Regardless of the fact that... whether or not we think he's the most charismatic bloke or whatever. And regardless of whether or not he's said a lot at halftime, clearly something he is doing is galvanizing them a little bit to keep all that in check.
00:18:17
DailySaintsPod
He's just got...
00:18:20
DailySaintsPod
He's just got this quiet, unhinged energy about him that I find incredibly endearing. And I don't know why, but I really like him. Like you say, we saw bounces at points under certain managers recently, but...
00:18:40
DailySaintsPod
to have a bounce and then a dip and then pull it back and then look like you going to go back into another dip, but then score four goals in 45 minutes to win ridiculous game of football. Like,
00:18:52
DailySaintsPod
But yeah, it's just crazy. I mean, there's been talk about whether if we go up or if we go down, if we keep him as manager, but he's just doing everything he can to make that decision impossible to not be the case, right? It's just what way to turn it around. You're right. No other manager we've had maybe even makes those changes that dramatically at halftime. Because a triple change at halftime is...
00:19:19
DailySaintsPod
That's a statement, right? Like there's no other way about it.
00:19:22
Zak
Yeah, this has been unacceptable and we need to make a change immediately. again, what I was hoping at that point was that it would just keep them out. Let's make sure we don't capitulate anymore. But what will that do for the team? You can see, don't know if you've seen, we're obviously recorded, we're starting to see more and more of the media come out and all of the scenes at full time and how together the team is. And man, it's just nice to see because it's felt so long. And by the way, Greg, I've just seen another weird stat.
00:19:50
Zak
Do you know that Huddersfield game that referenced earlier happened on the 10th of February in 2024? That's just a bit weird. Just little bit.
00:19:56
Zak
Yeah.
00:19:58
DailySaintsPod
That's crazy.
00:20:01
DailySaintsPod
Clearly, clearly the games of football that are best happen on the 10th of February for us. I don't know. Yeah, that's. Yeah.
00:20:10
Zak
Apparently so, but you need to remember that, you know, that was when the tide started to turn and then we had our little run towards the end where we almost bottled it from winning and then didn't make the playoffs. But, you know, it's got to instill nothing but positivity, right? And it's kind of where I'm at.
00:20:27
Zak
I just think, you know, again, like,
00:20:28
DailySaintsPod
And you know, now we head into a weekend in a game that... I mean, let's be honest. No one cares
Balancing League and Cup Priorities
00:20:35
DailySaintsPod
about. I
00:20:37
Zak
You can't keep saying that. We're daily podcast.
00:20:40
DailySaintsPod
mean, we win, sure, we get another game and we'll go and lose to Liverpool in the next round instead. Fine.
00:20:47
DailySaintsPod
And...
00:20:48
Zak
You're right.
00:20:48
Zak
We do get day out at Anfield.
00:20:50
DailySaintsPod
And if we don't, then whatever. Leicester's kids get their little bit of comeuppance on the maybe one player that played tonight that gets on the pitch on Saturday. Right? Like, it's... It's not as important because now...
00:21:09
DailySaintsPod
you know, we've talked all season about whether playoffs is on or off or what. And it's not at any point been closer than it is now, right? So it's on.
00:21:21
DailySaintsPod
And that's the focus. And will continue to be the focus. So we can't...
00:21:24
Zak
Mm-hmm.
00:21:26
DailySaintsPod
be bothered about a cup run or the sentimentality of it being, you know, 50 years since we won it because we're not going to win it anyway. So just put all our eggs in the league because that's what matters. So...
00:21:42
Zak
Just to point out this Shea Charles quote for you, by the way, mate, which is, if one team can score three in one half, we can score three or four. We said at halftime, if we score one, then we can score the rest. Only my second goal for Salamdon. I do in training. It's about time.
00:21:56
Zak
So we talk about confidence. We talk about running in that momentum. Does that seem like a team bereft of confidence to you?
00:22:03
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, I mean, that's... Sure. Yeah, no, if they've done it, we can do it. Add one more. Why not?
Overcoming Past Defeats and Looking Ahead
00:22:09
DailySaintsPod
I mean... Sure. That is...
00:22:13
Zak
I know, but like, I wouldn't have believed that. So there's something about it that they are.
00:22:18
DailySaintsPod
I didn't believe that.
00:22:27
DailySaintsPod
It has to, right? It absolutely has to.
00:22:30
Zak
Can they stop, you know, can they stop selling the DVD? Like, they won the league a decade ago at this point, right? Like, it's done.
00:22:37
Zak
I'm afraid that you can't, you know... You can't keep holding that over after that game, in my opinion. Yeah, like said, commiserations to them, but man, was that good game. Man, was that a win. Man, has it made late night recording after I've been not feeling great.
00:22:53
Zak
It's just worth it, mate, at the end of the day. Sorry if it's been a bit all over the place, but like, guys, come on.
00:23:00
DailySaintsPod
Somehow we've got to
00:23:01
Zak
You're lucky you're getting recording. We were so hyperactive about it. It nuts.
00:23:07
DailySaintsPod
Somehow I've now got to and go to sleep. I just don't know if... It was like a shot of adrenaline. Like, I don't... I just... Yeah.
00:23:17
DailySaintsPod
I mean, unbelievable. Fantastic. Not... I mean, not the podcast an hour ago. I thought we'd be recording.
00:23:26
Zak
No, not even slightly.
00:23:30
DailySaintsPod
Just... So, I'm happy. I'm absolutely thrilled for the team. Like... I just... Yeah.
00:23:39
DailySaintsPod
Crazy. It'll be like...
00:23:39
Zak
This is the problem, right?
00:23:41
Zak
We're like, how do you analyse that? Like, the first half, terrible, awful, was going to be super bad.
00:23:44
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:23:47
Zak
Was already feeling myself gearing up to be cross and being like, we've done it again. But no, that isn't what we did. We somehow came back, we somehow scored four goals. Two of those goals were scored by us, like, you know, by defenders, as goes the tradition of the joke.
00:24:04
Zak
Shea Charles getting an absolute screaming winner.
00:24:07
Zak
Leicester put to the sword. What else is there to say, mate? Fantastic game.
00:24:10
DailySaintsPod
Well, the next home game in the league, mate, believe it or not, is the return to St.
00:24:11
Zak
On to the next one.
00:24:15
DailySaintsPod
Mary's of Nathan Jones, who we rather embarrassed earlier in season. So maybe it just goes from...
00:24:21
Zak
We go again!
00:24:22
DailySaintsPod
Maybe it just gets better and better. This is the upward trajectory we were looking for. This is it.
00:24:28
Zak
it's finally nice to start enjoying the championship properly. It's just taken a hot minute, you know? It's taken a while.
00:24:32
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:24:34
Zak
It's not been pretty. We've lost a manager along the way, but we're finally on to something, you know?
00:24:41
DailySaintsPod
without the perspective of the bad times, the good times aren't as good. You know, it only seems higher when you're looking down at the low you've just come from.
00:24:47
Zak
Yeah, you end up like... It...
00:24:52
Zak
you end up like Liverpool, right?
00:24:52
DailySaintsPod
So... Yeah.
00:24:53
Zak
Where they get like a draw and they call it disgraceful. It's like, or like, or like Arsenal where you've got their manager complaining they didn't score from a set piece in a three-nil win.
00:25:03
Zak
Like, I don't want to live in a world where that's a team that I have to be it, like be part of, right?
00:25:09
Zak
I'm quite happy support St. Lander for the rest of my life as much as it's painful because they are the city that we're from and they are our team. And today we can be really, really proud of them, right?
00:25:21
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, very proud. Incredible scenes. And then, I mean, cherry on the cake in the cup, maybe. don't know.
00:25:32
DailySaintsPod
Unbelievable. Great stuff. That is all we've got time for this evening. Thank you, everyone, for joining us. Thank you, Zach, for...
00:25:42
DailySaintsPod
for staying with me through the excitedness and the ridiculousness.
00:25:45
Zak
mate.
00:25:50
DailySaintsPod

it. Let us know in the comments, on the socials. We Daily Saints Pod everywhere. TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X, Blue Sky. Hit us up.
00:26:10
DailySaintsPod
Let us know. We love hearing from you. And as a newly independent podcast, all of that engagement goes such a long way to helping us out and really drives us on and motivates us because we love engaging with it ourselves.
00:26:24
Zak
And to be clear, we've really noticed it. We've noticed the uptake in comments and the uptake in subscribers and stuff. And it's super appreciated by the both of us, really, really honestly.
00:26:31
DailySaintsPod
So appreciated. Yeah, it motivates us and drives us to keep doing this and keep putting out content every single day through the ups and the downs. And it's nice to be enjoying those ups at the moment. So yeah, while you're there, give us a like, give us a subscribe. It's all really appreciated. But...
00:26:52
DailySaintsPod
We'll be back tomorrow to have maybe a slightly more focused, structured discussion about something football. I know. Where's the fun in that? Until then, everyone, enjoy that and have a much easier, wonderful day because of it.
00:27:10
DailySaintsPod
And until then, have great day.
00:27:22
Zak
Leicester, you got an attendry!
