How's about a bit of Kumbaya... Koeman Ja, our Lord, Koeman Ja, Koeman Ja, our Lord, Koeman Ja, Koeman Ja, our Lord, Koeman Ja, Oh Lord, Koeman Ja. We all hold hands while singing it, while rocking back and forth. Bonfires can be set up in the Northam for a bit of atmosphere.

Would be a great signing.

Costel Pantillimon has joined Sunderland. Shame, I thought he'd be a good signing for us on a free.

Burnley at home. It'll be a 3-0 win and Danny Ings will net us a hat trick. Emmanuel Mayuka, whom Burnley got in exchange, misses a penalty for Burnley after Mee is brought down in the box by Astori.

Da Do Ron Ron by the Crystals?

I'm much more confident about having a decent squad by the end of the transfer window now, irrespective of what happens with the jewels. Even if this appoint fails to achieve what we want, you can't blame the board for trying. This is one of the best appointments we could've made, especially with some of the names the threads have produced in the last few weeks.

Abso-frigging-lutely delighted with this appointment. Norwich get Adams, WBA get Irvine, we get Ronald Koeman! We're big time now baby! Mauricio who?

Hmm, well they both have a thing for old ladies...

Announcement tomorrow then? ;-)

10 minutes to shine FFS. The 10 minutes I was planning to miss by going to bed.

Another change needed soon. FFS get Adam on!

England better win this, I'm up at 6am for work...

England's physio injured himself in the celebrations. Oops

Just what a England needed, great ball from Rooney and good finish from Sturridge.

FFS

Anyone else cheer Sterling's effort thinking it had gone in?

That fixes it - either the Mirror get their stories from SaintsWeb forum or I work for them... :-)

Uruguay been a bit pants really. They obviously miss Suarez, as Liverpool would do similarly. Campbell has no fear. Hopefully Sterling will be the same for us. Can't see Arsenal letting him go in a hurry...

Ron Koeman's brother Erwin is currently out of a job. I wonder if he'll join the coaching staff...

It's on the Beebs live build up feed now. In a way, I think it's a brave and clever selection by Woy, choosing Sterling shows attacking intent which means we're not going to settle for a draw necessarily, and useful for a counter attacking game. It's not so clever by Woy to decide to play Rooney in a wide position on the opening game of the World Cup campaign.

I am Glagow and so's my wife. If it is Koeman, and we believe it is, then I applaud the board for a good choice. They could've gone for the cheap option like WBA did and get slaughtered long term by us, but they've gone for the right choice of a manager with a fairly decent reputation with the ability to attract players to the club. No appointment will unite the fans completely, but this will come fairly close to it. Mind you I suppose the Irvine appointment united the WBA fans, just not in the same way!

That James Rodriguez is a top player, we should sign him. I've always wanted a player called J Rodriguez to play for Saints...... ....oh wait...

Lol@WBA. I don't want Sherwood here but he'd have been a better appointment there than Irvine. Not surprised their fans are going bat **** mental.

I'm up at half six in the morning for work, but I don't care about lack of sleep, I'll be watching it! I've always said I'm a Saints fan first and an England fan a distant second, but I'll be cheering the national team on at the top of my voice, mainly to annoy the autistic 6 year old that lives next door and screams all day and all night long. Do us proud England, do us proud Adam, as well as Luke and even Rickie if they see action.

Does he like a shmoke und a pancake. You know, a flapjack und a shigarette? No? Shigar und a waffle? No? Pipe und a crepe? No? Bong und a blintz? No? Well, then there ish no pleashing him.
