He's getting ready for next season. Playing 20 mins for Man Ure, 20 Mins for Liverpool, 20 mins for Citeh then 15 mins for Real (source Ralph Krueger or was it the Ugly)

Hmmm

Hmmmmmmmm

Ah nice. Music to slit your wrists to. But beautifully sung of course. Just booked Mrs D_P's flight back with airmiles, waiting for Emirates to have their next sale, so I can buy mine, last one only applied for departures before 10th June

Oh Lord I'm in that photo. Nice find FF what a day that was!

Bloody hell. England were woeful in the field. Went for a curry. Came back to watch the most insane finish from an England team in ages. Well done Alex Hales. What a knock!

Yes but.. IN the speculation stakes, Guly was also mentioned (as with Gaston) as having to be "assessed". It's a worst case scenario, we COULD have Cork, VW, Morgan, Guly, Gaston all missing. Kind of leaving JWP AL & Davis as our only fit midfielders. It's incredibly unlikely but at least it makes a change from normal threads. Hmmm didn't SRL used to play in midfield? looked good defensively last few minutes against Norwich..........

Post of the year sir.

So why not stick Maya in there? Would MUCH prefer to keep Lovren alongside Fonte with Adebayor to cope with and with Spurs having pace down the wings we need Clyne & Shaw out wide. Having Maya in could almost allow Clyne & Shaw to play more as wing backs and keep the Spuds wide men deeper. We've all moaned at times about plan B's, we've had opposition teams pressing US much more of late so no reason why MP wouldn't try a small tinkering with our shape. #nodieawhathewilldo But do think Reed deserves a chance now

Can anyone confirm any truth in the rumour that a possible UK based Charity have asked for citizens of a certain South Coast City to stop posting no make-up selfies following the sad rumour of the possible suicide of the person assigned to record them all?

Again. Watching the current crop of breaking news on Sky (More pictures of "Wreckage") a number of "assumptions" can be made from the way things are streaming together. 1) Satellites don't look at their own pictures, analysts do. So who started to look at the Southern Ocean pictures and when? Was it the same day of the Inmarsat Ping? 2) The Aussies had mobilised into the Southern Ocean search area very quickly, but we have heard very little of any efforts up in "Khazakstan/Northern Arc" 3) IF MH370 had flown the southerly arc THEN it crossed through Indonesian Airspace. I'm no professional pilot, but I do know that ANY pop-up traffic on radar is contacted and any contact with no Transponder would create a set of reactions including attempts to contact by radio.... FFS how many times did we read stories of the RAF being scrambled to chase away "Un-authorised Soviet attempts to penetrate our airspace" IF these wreckage pictures ARE of MH370 then there is no way the 777 could have had the range to reach the Southern Ocean IF it was flying at low level below even the basic Indonesian ATC radar, let alone any military capacity they would have had...... So why did THEY i) Not tell the Malaysians very quickly or ii) Why did the Malaysians ignore it IF they were told iii) Was this why the Chinese were so angry? Something still doesn't add up, but I really do not think the answer lies in ONLY Inmarsat & West Stand Dave's useful points

Hence why I only said hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'd agree with Heathrow fly over comment obviously, but occassionally flying home you can see old or smaller airfields and make out the shapes on the ground. Depends on air quality humidity and of course any actual contrast in the image to pull the eye to. I think in my mind the article made me think of one thing however. In the early days it had been "decided" the plane had "Crashed" to the East of Malaysia. We had all the original loss of contact reports and the searches. When the review of this is done, how many other pieces of possible "leads" were ignored in those early days? Early Assumptions & Speculation and everybody ran in the wrong direction as currents and time lost meant possible "It's BEHIND YOU!" clues disappeared below the depths of the sea

I know that the club hasn't been bought by anyone else yet. Does that count?

Just as I was having nightmares that this thread could last longer & become bigger than the PTS thread, Ilios appeared on Sky News and made an interesting point(subtly waving an Emirates Check List) IF there had been a Decompression issue, then the book says turn left towards nearest airport. That would have put them on a heading towards Penang or Langkawi around 210 degrees. In such events the cockpit can fill up with fog/condensation and they have around 30 to 45 seconds to act as well as get onto Oxygen. That heading showed up on the Sky News chart table as being pretty much a direct line to the general area the wreckage was found. Which still leaves the Payne Stewart scenario as most likely. Considering how much rubbish has been spouted - wasn't there stories of a turn at a second pair of Way Points a week or so ago? Yet they aren't shown again now.... I'm no professional pilot, but I do know how to "get one up" so to speak (And down again safely). Too much conjecture and too little info = Super Spy Satellites knew what went on knew it was downed knew nothing would swim away and did not want anyone to know they existed. Think that's the most likely scenario here - drip feed and let a puddle jumper Turbo-Prop do the Donkey work Oh and did I not mention this a few days ago? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2586308/Missing-jet-WAS-carrying-highly-flammable-lithium-batteries-CEO-Malaysian-Airlines-finally-admits-dangerous-cargo.html I mean COME ON guys. You can even find You Tube videos of the bloody things exploding these days Can I at least post an ORLY even if I don't qualify for an I Told You So? (Yet)

Strangely, that is THE most accurate description of him I've seen

She'd be a lot more than just a good shout I am sure, but hey, back on topic Matt Damon as the Holy Goaly. Oh and FFS the name Danny Dyer is banned from this forum or a certain (not me) Dubai Saints member might FINALLY wake out of his coma and remember he had a night out with him over here....

Let's see what our new sponsor will want........... apologies for being cynical but Ralph is all about the money

Oi! steal someone else's ideas not mine My lawyer Barry will be in touch when he finds his briefcase

What this thread needs is an ATC expert. If only he wasn't so busy showing the latest member of Dubai Saints all the bad places to go in this town. Eric? Where the hell are you?

You may think that but I could not possibly comment. #seelocation Living down here we are all only too well aware of the danger of Lithium Batteries. FFS people I know were having a rooftop BBQ in International City and all ducked when the poor sods went down in the UPS Freighter. #noteverythingonamanifestiswhatitsaysitis Need to get Spudders onto this thread 'cos surely Windows has earnt some Rep points for talking super ITK high up there Tekkie stuff

Total chaos today at the Press Conference with Kay Burley sounding like she was in the middle of bonking at times. One point that was made is the Malaysians may not be telling the whole story as their neighbours are refusing to give them data that they do not want in the public domain - eg that they even have Military Radar Coverage at certain places/distances. Oh and Kay lost her phone in the melee

What a damned shame we never found a guy from a different sport with a cracking track record before (and since) earlier. Oh...........

He's going STATESIDE? Krueger OUT! Doesn't he know that the BIG money is in the Middle East what with Qatar & The World Cup? He should be orgainsing Friendly games against Real & Barca & Citeh over here at Barasti not nancying around 15 hours flying time away. Selfish sod..............

Nice idea SSA but unfortunately the story has already been written Copyrights are in place and there is a row between Universal Pictures & Hagiology. The ITK snippets I can release are Brad Pitt is playing me. Olivia Wilde will wear a Blonde wig and is coming round tomorrow for coaching sessions from me in her role as Mrs D_P Vince Vaughn (sp?) is playing LLS. John Goodman is playing Barry the Briefcase St David is being played by Voldemort, St Lee by Hugh Grant. Tokyo is being played by Jackie Chan Rupert is being played by Gary Oldman (After all, he is THE most experienced Villain in Hollywood) Renee Zellweger has promised to finish reprising Bridget Jones' Diary to play Katarina And news just in Peter Dinklage HAS agreed to wear a wig and play NC The Producers have rejected approaches from Sylvester Stallone, for SRL to appear in the next installment of the Expendables and Chris Hemsworth has not yet accepted the role of SRL as he feels he may not have the same sex appeal with the female audience as the Hero. There is no truth in the rumour that Tom Hiddlestone will reprieve his role as Loki in the movie in a character composite of Jermain Wright, Rory Delap and of course Guly. Oh, and of course, the movie marks the Hollywood debut of 'Arry Redknapp who will be playing OldNick in the Forum Match 1 sequence
