Shilton, Watson, Wright, O'Brien, Davies just to name a few.

As of Saturday. Very happy, hoping to go to Brazil, not counting on it, waiting until walking off pitch fit after last game. MP needs to be supported by enough to bring in significant players. Not about money, if squad improved, the players would be very happy. Reading between the lines if MP stays nobody would go. A problem could be if the people who need to do this vacillate and can't make their minds up about targets and we struggle to strengthen. Osvaldo needs to be moved on sooner rather than later. With their record I would have thought MP wouldn't touch Spurs with a barge pole.

Spurs did well with over a £100m last summer, didn't they?

Although we had two own goals, Gallagher was in great positions for both. The first if the defender hadn't got a touch Gallagher had a simple header, for the second he was on the far post and had an easy tap in if the header was missing the goal.

I was talking to a person yesterday that is as close as it gets to the players. It seems that the players are very happy at the club, love playing for Pochettino but are not that impressed by Reed's statement or regard him highly. If Pochettino stays it is unlikely there will be departures. The significant comment was made regarding Pochettino, that it wasn't about money, but about his ability to strengthen the squad. There also appears to be criticism amongst the players about the poor value of some expensive imports. Reading between the lines, more Lovrens and no more Osvaldos.

KL, RK, and now LR have said that no player that Mauricio wants to keep will be sold. If that's not unanimous I don't know what is!

I've given 10 because of the massive improvement from an out of it's depth team at the start of last season to a team that competed at the end. Then this season looked brilliant at times and has held it's own in 8th place in it's second season in the Premier League.

If desperate clubs want to sign players whose clubs don't want to sell and more importantly don't have to sell, they can forget 'valuation' fees. Any Southampton player that goes will cost an enormous premium and any Lallana type fee with the sell on fee will have to be settled on top by the buyer. It will be very difficult to buy our players because of their inflated fees.

I can only pass on what Pochettino said as translated. He sounded like he had been doing his homework, said he'd spoken to all the players but mentioned Shaw specifically.

Pochettino on Sky, all the players happy, all on long contracts, no reason why Shaw or anybody else should go. Could be he's made his mind up.

Southampton won't want to sell any of their core players. If MU, MC, Arsenal or Chelsea etc want any of them, the eye watering amounts they would have to cough up for players on long contracts will probably kill off their interest.

The aircraft on autopilot altitude hold and tracking, the engines would be fuelled from separate wing tanks with the cross feed valve closed, therefore it would be almost impossible for the engines to cut out simultaneously. One engine fails, autopilot tries to hold height so aircraft loses speed, the live engine forces the aircraft to turn then roll into a inverted dive rolling until the second engine cuts out. However the autopilot will have cut out because of the forces or immediately it's generator failed if the associated engine failed. The aircraft probably breaks up.

A relation of my wife, retired Lieutenant Colonel, was chatting to me last night about the search. His son in law is very high up in the Australian army. He commented that the Australians couldn't have come on this signal by chance. The Australian military are very close to the Americans. The Americans wouldn't want to be the ones to make public this information.

Sarbe emergency locators/radios carried. Pilot oxygen from a large tank near flight deck. A number of therapeutic bottles about 30 mins. Dropdown masks 12 mins ish.

That was my view Ron. There really is practically no chance of getting away with it and none at all in the dark.

Under power the engines are designed to shear but in a water landing would in the act of shearing tip the nose under. I would think landing tail low would cause the engines to hammer the nose in. Landing in open ocean is a much more difficult exercise. That's why I say there is a great deal of luck in it and having a decent pilot doing it. Over my career there were some pilots who really weren't up to it but for a variety of reasons weren't bombed out. Eventually of course they were nailed.

The minimum rate of descent would be approx. double a normal powered approach say 1500 fpm. There is I would think a great deal of luck in it. We regularly practiced engine out approaches from about 12000 ft but carrying out the approach over water prior to touchdown is much easier as there would be plenty of room. Touching down a wide body aircraft would be extremely difficult because of the length. I would expect at best that the aircraft would break it's back. I thought that a hijacker was fighting the pilot in the Ethiopian aircraft when it hit the water.

It seems that the surveillance is as required, is subject to weather and day night variations and only targets and dwells on single selected tiles of the area rather than sweeping. The tile surveyed provided the radar was operating may well have been nowhere near the flight path.

Really quite predictable. I've been waiting for someone to suddenly stumble on the exact location, if this is what it is, ever since Weststand explained his information.

Basically, falling over easily, shirt pulling, nudges etc are all cheating aided and abetted by referees not sticking their necks out. After all the chief ref gave something like 27 penalties at OT for MU. Also gave penalty at SMS v MU in FA Cup when ball hit the Saints player on the head.

It looked a though Fonte was sent the wrong way and tried to initially knock the ball away with his heel as he was unbalanced. Djecko took the opportunity to fall over. When one watches rugby players taking hits and not being knocked down it proves most athletes could keep going most of the time. Footballers basically are cheats and the referees help them with their decisions.

Appalling decision. That would not have been the final result. In my view if that goal had been disallowed, it is probable the next goal wouldn't have been scored in the time left because the flow of the game would have been different, plus the mental approach from both teams would have been different. There would have been no uplift with City.

Pretty much the best view I've seen. Pretty much sums up what I think of the cluster**** orchestrated to date.

To Halo, I absolutely understand as I left it late with with two labs and a newfie, which I regret. The person who said a week early rather than an hour late understood.

Thanks this says it all for me.
