Verdict: they're both **** at football. Guiiiiiilllllllttttttyyyyyy!

He's EX-LAXio too but started his career at Runnymede.

Is he Robin Cousins' cousin? On thin ice with that gag.

As was Jack Cork* *Sort of.

A great pro and a great keeper. If only we could return to those times. Seem to recall he still did a lot of work for local charities, long after he left the Saints. True Saint and one of the best keepers we ever had. Good luck Antti.

Joey Barton promoted to manager

I was going to post this this morning under a separate heading, realised it was not saints related, so put it on the end of one on the takeovers thread. Surprised this is here to be honest. LOCK!

Keegan to leave Newcastle and join us. You heard it hear first. The fact that it is probably more about him not getting money for enough signings is probably nearer the mark.

Sold as seen.

She's cup-tied but should be back for the second leg. etc etc

We're also getting Heather Mills on a free.

It was idiotic not to have played the same team as that on Tuesday. Svensson didn't look up to it to me and Dyer was a waste of space. PS Davis to Stoke again in the papers

I'm sure McDonald's will cope.

You are all wrong because the OS says he is a 'star'. Hmmm. Can only think he is a makeweight in the Davies deal and we didn't quite get the full dosh announced in the press. Or Davis is joining them.

Good news. Hope we can hold onto him but if we can't his price has at least just gone up.

Because our money runs out in January!

Isn't Google marvellous?

He is stable in hospital apparently. That is defintely not a pun. They just announced it on TalkSport, so good news.

Just heard that. Awful news.

I must say I can't quite understand this signing. My only guess is that he is part of a deal for Kelvin Davis to go the other way. The Davis to Stoke thing was a rumour, you see. Otherwise it doesn't quite fit unless he's extra steel for our midfield, which might be a bit suspect on a boggy rainy winter Wednesday night away at Doncaster. For instance.

I actually thought the ball had gone out of shape at the end as it was oscillating in the air and bumping along the pitch. We still bossed it, though. A truly excellent performance.

Just winding you up. I'm sure you're Kelvin himself anyway...

I've said it about DH ever since he joined us, to constant howls of derision. You want to get out more.

He was excellent. Strode out of defence in the manner of a Hansen or (a bit worse) a Terry. Played it simple, and took the easy option most of the time, sign of a good defender. Really, really good signing. Things are definitely looking up.

Goalkeeper please.
