I think Keegan joined us on a free transfer when his contract ended at Hamburg.

Defending one's home against intruders who break in should have immunity from prosecution whatever the injury. Secondly where groups are involved in crimes and not all are arrested & convicted, those that are should be locked up indefinitely until they name their accomplices.

I was told that the club's intention is to strengthen the spine without being given any detail. That means to me any combination of goalkeeper/centre back/centre midfield/striker and this would be a logical and welcome move if true. I suspect that Joe Mills has a reasonable added value to Doncaster over and above any fee.

You have pretty much summed it up for me, 'He'd give Hammond a run for the CMF spot'. I just think we need something more than that. The spine needs strengthening with better players than we've got, not players that just manage to challenge the ones that are here for a place. Anybody we sign needs to be a certain starter. More like Fonte in stature.

I've seen him play and I don't think he is going to give us anything we don't have already. I still think it isn't going to happen, although with Kevin Nolan to WHU on a reported £55k a week I doubt he'll be going there as a first team starter.

Over priced and over rated, reported pay would be equal with our best paid player. We can do a lot better for a lot less.

He is Minister of Transport and the Chairman of the biggest party in the Trinidad coalition government. Therefore he couldn't risk letting the investigation continue. I know. you couldn't make it up.

Allerdyce isn't a cheap option, either wages or the players he will want to sign.

Until the law bans them from trespassing they should be blocked in, the Police, HMRC, DVLC etc etc should then go through them with a fine tooth comb for any law breaking which in itself would act as a deterrent.

I thought I saw somewhere that the Swedish regulators had problems with the takeover, so CSI aren't part of Saab's owner consortium.

Parachute payments over 4 years, £16m (I think Aug & Jan), £16m, £8m, £8m. I personally don't think that Cork is what we need. In any event we don't even know that the club's alleged interest has any basis in fact and is probably media speculation.

A lot of the Eastliegh players will be the young failed league releasees they are taking on and making full time. Together with some older experienced CS players. So the standard is about right for the reserves.

Richardson didn't play and never managed to hold down a regular starting slot ,Likewise Dickson who was rapidly replaced by Harding, only Butterfield was a regular early on but alternated with Richardson towards the end and Guly failed to break into the side in the early part of the season. It can be safely said that the new players barely had any effect on the team/results in the early part of the season. However if four influential players who provided immediate impact had arrived early, that may well have been a different story.

Bearing in mind the lack of straight in winning runs, don't you think maybe it's time to change the way we do things. Maybe we will this year. Three premier class teams at SMS including a tournament in the last two weeks before the season, is something new.

July 1st is when clubs start back training after the summer break. The real hard work starting Mon July 4th. Every year despite the optimistic rubbish that comes out of Saints in my memory (57 years) we have rarely started the season with a run of wins. Every year we are still signing players either late into the pre season training or even after the season has started. The club management regularly makes statements about strengthening which rarely come to fruition. Players are brought in that strengthen the depth of the squad but rarely are they players that strengthen the team (Lambert, Fonte are exceptions). This year we need a number of that calibre preferably before pre season but definitely not long after the start of pre season to strengthen the side and blend in before the season starts. We definitely don't need more of the annual poor start whilst trying to get players in during September and play catch up.

Thanks. When I was a kid, I spent my summer holidays in Ireland. Sebastian Shaw lived a few hundred yards away in a historical rectory and also from an actor point of view, that was once occupied by C S Lewis and in recent years by John Hurt, but he no longer owns it.

It looks as though the design is dictated by the fact it is built on the side of a hill. Tall on the bottom side short on the top side which looks like it dictates the height of the ends.

Shilton, Golac, Watson, Wright, Mills, Paine, Keegan, Armstrong, Sydenham, Channon, Davies.

Whose face was used when the helmet came off at Vader's death scene? Sebastian Shaw?

There was also newsreels used from the anti ship bouncing bomb trials.

I believe Sabastian Shaw played Darth Vader but another voice was used.

What a farce. They make a film showing half the attacking force crashed, breach dams, destroy homes, factories, kill hundreds, devastate the countryside and the **** writing the script changes the codeword because it is politically incorrect. Pure bloody hypocrisy.

Davies was on borrowed time, no surprise as he has been heavily criticised for living in Glasgow and not spending enough time at the club. Not being promoted this time after all the money spent did for him. McLeish resigning could mean either the financial situation at Birmingham is worse than thought or he has been tapped up by Villa.

Dave Whelan / Niall Quinn both ex top division players doing an excellent job.

Who?
