Sainsbury's flawed product substitution policy for deliveries... when I order 450g of gravy for 4 people, I do so because that's the amount of gravy I want.... cue the numpties at Sainsbury's substituting it for 300g of gravy for 3 people. If I wanted gravy for 3 people I'd f***ing order gravy for 3 people, you f***ing imbeciles. Happens all the f***ing time with all sorts of f***ing produce. Twats.

Apologies, just seen there's a separate thread on the Dragan interview

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24349450.every-word-southampton-owner-solak-said-new-interview/ Saints are back in the Premier League - how are you feeling? DS: I feel amazing. I'm so blessed to be part of the Southampton story. Obviously, I don't know that much football, but I'm trying to help with my experience, my knowledge and my energy. I found that with Russell Martin, with the players, with the board and even with all the fans, we can all share this kind of passion. I'm happy for me, but I'm so happy for all of them. It's amazing. This is a special club. Did you think that when you looked at the club at first? DS: Oh, yeah. Well, honestly, when I was offered the opportunity to take care of Saints, I did a lot of research, and everything I learned about Saints was so special. They are completely, I know, I'm a kid born in communist Yugoslavia who made his way into the world, and I love that they are fighting for what they want. They are fighting for their success. They are passionate, but also they are family club with beautiful supporters and I share their passion 100 per cent. Now you're in the Premier League, the thing is that you have to stay there? DS: Honestly, it's a 10-year plan, 10-year project, and we are just at the beginning. I'm glad that we had this sporting success. We'll try to capitalise on it, but we'll continue working on our long-term projects to make Saints a real, stable, forever Premier League club. For that, we need to do a lot with the enlargement of the stadium, with the enlargement of our commercial capacities, with many things we have to do. We are going to play with the biggest boys there are, and we are not afraid to play, but also I want to somehow provide the club the basis to be rightfully there. You know, you can always have a luck with one generation of great players. It can last for three or four years. You can make good money if you let them go somewhere else. But what we want to do is to create a real basis that Saints should rightfully think they're a Premier League club and actually aim for even more. Dragan, is it now so important to spend within your limitations? DS: I think that's super important because that gives some fairness to the whole game of sport and game of football. Obviously, we will look into our abilities. We'll try to spend to the maximum we can, but also we try to spend wisely. We'll try to continue developing young players, but also we also learned one thing. You cannot just have young players and focus on only player development. You need the leaders on the pitch. You need personalities who are able in games like this to find this 110 percent and to win the game. And you need a good owner. How do you describe yourself as an owner? Tonight, I'm a very happy owner, but most of the time, people, it's very funny, people ask me because we had some not so happy moments. Everybody asked me, what do you think now about your investment? And I always say, I really love it. And I can tell anybody, as long as you can afford it, it's a wonderful thing. But unfortunately, you have to be able to afford it. My day business is still going pretty well. So I'll try to help the Saints! But again, I think we have to stay within the smart environment of financial fair play and try to do most with the money that we put in. We don't just throw money in a basically careless way. Dragan, welcome back to the Premier League! DS: Thank you so much. It is so good. I told the guys from Championship, I really enjoyed the season. I think it's a great competition. I love the competition. I had so much fun. Obviously, I'm so happy we are back to the Premier League. But I really love the Championship as well. I think it's a bunch of unbelievable clubs and it's always a great weekend.

Debatable...

Oh boy.... That's almost got me going again...

My favourite post of the day 😂

Ok Mr Robot...

Feel so happy for Jack today... The emotion on his face is palpable. Southampton through and through.

Anyone else sat on their sofa blubbing like a schoolgirl, or just me...?

Hand up... I was wrong to doubt Russ earlier in the season.... Give this bloke a new contract!* (*Permission to retract this statement after 10 games in the PL!)

Get the fuck in you beauties!!!!!!

Indeed... Was borderline so why the flag when VAR is available....?

Onside...?

Both CBs on a yellow... We know how this ends up...

There's no way this ends 0-1....

Half time. Decent performance....Not sure my nails are going to survive the second half....

Armstrong has to see Edozie in the clear there....

Thought he went off the pitch to be treated...?

5 minutes added time.... Eh...?

Almost 2!!
