In this episode of Block 44 we’re outside St Mary’s talking all things Southampton FC. We look back at the highs of the Championship run last time around, including that unforgettable playoff final at Wembley, and compare it to where the club is now with only six wins in nearly two years. We break down how Saints went from promotion contenders to a side with more managers than wins, what’s gone wrong behind the scenes, and what the future could look like.

We talk through the current Premier League struggles, analyse the squad, look at where the recruitment has failed, and discuss who we think should be the next Southampton manager. We also give our honest take on where we see Saints in five years time and what needs to change for the club to get back on track.

Another huge week in football and we’re breaking it all down on Block 44.

We talk Ange Postecoglou’s progress at Spurs, Amorim’s uncertain start at Manchester United, and whether Iraola has finally found Bournemouth’s rhythm. Over at West Ham the pressure is on — is James Ward-Prowse the key or the next out the door?

We dive into Tuchel’s bold England squad choices, leaving out Bellingham and Foden, and ask whether he’s already losing the fans. We also look at Crystal Palace’s form under Glasner, the race for European spots, and the ongoing Premier League manager merry-go-round.

And of course, we finish with the big debate — did Mo Salah deserve the Ballon d’Or?

Big Ange is back in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest after his dramatic Spurs exit, but can he turn their season around? We also dive into Antoine Semenyo’s bright form at Bournemouth, Aston Villa’s dry spell in front of goal, and whether Amorim’s time at Manchester United could be running out already.
