So my time at the Evening Standard has come to an end 🗞️
It has brought me into the world of podcasting, which feels like my true home 🏠
There aren't many jobs out there that give you the opportunity to interview @tomhanks, drive a Tesla around London..

Dragan also interviewed by @AlfieHouseEcho and covered a lot of different and good player stuff 👇
Between the two of us I think we’ve covered all the main areas and there’s no doubt Dragan is leading the charge to bring #SaintsFc back to respectability and be very competitive next season

🗣️ #SaintsFC loanee Cyle Larin on his time at the club:
“The club gave me the trust. The coach gave me a lot of trust too. The main reason why I went there was because of him. And obviously it’s Southampton, it’s a great club.”

Saints Women's captain Atlanta Primus among seven players leaving the club this summer. Primus, Tara Bourne, Aimee Palmer, Kiera Sena, Isabel Watts, Ella Pettit and Esta Roberts will all depart. Saints remain in talks with Rachel Brown and Milly Mott over new deals.

Excellent from the chairman and a real rallying cry for #SaintsFc fans - something to get behind!
His continued backing is the most important thing and we’ve all been waiting for something like this 💪
That'll be that for Saints on Spygate then, pending any FA action. Nobody loses their job, siege mentality going into new season. Solak promises team capable of promotion, he thinks Eckert - who says "I'm a young coach and made a mistake" - is the man to deliver it.
