Ep. 53- Ho, Ho, Horrendous Holiday Fixtures, with Cameran Alavi and Harry Holder

Southampton Dellivery

***Quick note*** this episode is long. It’s my fault and I apologize. My illness caused me to lose track of what was happening, so please excuse the meandering questioning at times during the interviews. 2018 is beginning a lot like 2017 ended.

Episode 53 marks the beginning of the second year of the podcast. We made it 52 straight weeks with an episode. I’m proud of that, but it wouldn’t be a thing, or mean anything, without all of you taking part in, listening to and/or giving feedback about the show. Still a lot to learn and improve on, but this journey has been fantastic so far and I’ve learned a ton from so many of you. Thanks for all of it, and hopefully the team and the podcasts continue to improve (and learn from our mistakes).

This week I’m joined by Cameran Alavi, a Saints fan based on the East Coast of the United States. Cameran is a coach and football (yes, we call it soccer) enthusiast. From MLS, to the USMNT to Saints and even a Manchester United connection, he’s in it and on it. We chatted for way too long about the holiday fixtures and what’s going on at the club, and Cameran provided some valuable insight into his chat with Ralph Krueger a few years ago. If you don’t already follow Cameran on Twitter you should be sure to do so @camtotheyams.

I’m also joined by Harry Holder (@harryhsfc) of The Saints Report to discuss Saints’ 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage in the 3rd Round of the Fa Cup. Wechat the outstanding numbers of traveling fans, the chants, the play, the win and more.

With all that said, I hope you enjoy the episode and I look forward to next week. Watford away in the Premier League, and we need points.
