Saint-Armstrong

It was a joke folks.

Touche. Just got a hunch we may have chased this one up, although if as rumoured MUFC/NUFC are interested, we have no chance. I feel he is talking perhaps about a striker then.

Only issue being, is he "just what we need"?

I'm feeling confident on this being Nathaniel Clyne, Palace fan from work still saying so too.

Southampton have acquired the services of Spanish starlet, Iago Falque on loan until the end of the season, after Spurs completed a permanent transfer for the winger from Juventus. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2579341,00.html

Sibley says check the OS in next 10 minutes, first long night in the office.... I bet it is just Lee's contract signing and photos.

Well done for competing in the Champions League. APOEL Nicosia get into that, so do teams like CFR Cluj. You don't have to be a great side to get in, you just have to be the best in your country.

That's not what Dubai_Phil is saying. Yes anyone could have predicted another signing before the end of the window. But MLT said 80% done, and Adkins says this week, A deal is nearly complete.

Saw something earlier about a shock signing and asked, shock as in to Saints fans? Champions fans? English fans? The reply was English fans.

Interesting that. Palace fan I know reckons he is leaving this month, in fact rather soon.

If you read the teamsheet in order, Cork is wide right as he was at Coventry. He was fine out there, Morgan will be in the middle with Dean.

A lack of planning? Adkins has said, and it has been reported too, that Tadanari Lee was on our radar for quite some time, and it was legal procedures holding it up. I'm sorry Mr. Border Force, let us just bring this player in really quickly on January the 1st to aid our title bid...

He may cover QPR and Fulham but he works for the Press Association, in an office too I would imagine. Someone else may know things. He's not a one man media agency.

I'd say Hammond, doesn't get enough recognition but was superb with several last ditch tackles and interceptions.

Agree. Get Brighton and Bristol out their heads, give them a chance to have a good performance in their heads instead. Win the game without Lambert.

I went to Palace in the Cup and he stood out, technically great but yes a bit lightweight, uses his ability well though and does not shirk away from a challenge.

Trotman was from Preston.

"We totally dominated first half, game plan worked a treat." "Created great opportunities, we scored a goal." "That calls out for technology or maybe we need a linesman who can see the ball go over the line." "We lose Guly Do Prado with a glute injury." "I didn't see it at the time." (on the red card) "There's a coming together, Rickie is grappled, they got him in a brace, Rickie pushed him away and he has pushed their lad. The referee has sent him off, nothing we can do." "Because of a coming together it happened, I don't know." "The sending off changed the whole complexion, it changed the game." "We believe that we will still win this division. We will stick together, be positive, we are still doing good things." "There is great resolve, we're in a bad patch." "Great to get 90 minutes out of David Connolly again, we had every confidence in Ben Reeves today." "The January Window is now open, we can now purchase or loan players in order to win the division." "There will be urgency in the window, as before today. We've got 12 days and I expect things to happen by then." "Until pen has been put to paper, we cannot announce or reveal anything. There will be movement."

Because Barnard is out, 3 strikers were on the pitch? One pulled up injured, one has been red carded.

Bristol are this years Rochdale, bogey team.

Dirk is Steve's Dad! But yes he needs a lift
