  1. The aircraft would only follow the vertical profile if it was in V nav. Presumably it was in L nav. V nav is rarely used for descents because of changes made by ATC in terminal areas.
  2. Don't know what they are moaning about, Roy Lunnis gave them years of enjoyment.
  3. My company wet leased an aircraft to Malaysian, I found them pretty good. The 777 had a problem with fuel icing, don't know whether it's been sorted, As for communications it's not European cover. Used HF a lot if we could get anybody to answer, I found the Vietnamese a pain in the arse on RT. It may be there was no coverage as they were reported 150 miles off Vietnam coast. Malaysia is predominately Muslim so I would have thought there would have been little threat.
  4. Well he doesn't have to pick a centre back to play against the likes of Suarez, Van Persie, Crouch, Benteke etc, It's against U19, mostly reserve players. Chambers is a regular Premier defender and should be able to stroll through an U19 friendly wherever he plays.
  5. As far as I know he was arrested three weeks ago and hasn't yet been charged. What is more concerning at the moment is the way he resigned and was subsequently arrested, not by the Met who have a specialist unit but by the National Crime Agency who operate in secrecy, were contacted direct and will not confirm or deny that anybody has been arrested. This smacks of a political cover up. It has been reported that after the images were discovered and Cameron informed he was allowed to resign before the Police were informed. The leak apparently came from Parliament.
  6. . I thought that looked like hamstring.

    Ukraine

    That'll work. We won't take any gas from the pipeline the Russians will cut off or the Ukrainians will block. I thought we had visa restrictions for non EU countries already. The bull****ting politicians will have their bluff called by the Russians who don't do politics. The veto will take care of the UN. The US will file it in the too difficult to deal with drawer. I'm sure the EU commission will deal with it, after all they ****ed the Russians off by suggesting closer ties

    Ukraine

    FFS it's easy, send half a dozen aircraft carriers into the Black Sea and invade through Germany with 2m troops and 10k tanks supported by 5k aircraft I thought it was obvious what we have to do, stay out of it.
  9. Where did this come from. The lad has great potential, already a good Premier full back. Weakness, he isn't that good in the air. Until he is he would be poor at centre back.
  10. I blamed Boruc for being a prat. However At the moment wresting/shirt tugging is rife. Either ignore it or penalise the first offender every time to stamp it out but not ignore one and penalise another. It wouldn't matter to me either way who it is if a foul is committed, I accept it but the referees need to be consistent and fair. Nobody could argue that the linesman was correct letting the first goal stand.
  11. Was it? Definitely Downing's hand.
  12. It's all very well WHU supporters crowing about their win and tactical superiority, but without the non intervention of an incompetent asst ref for the first goal and the dubious attitude of the ref ignoring Collins deflecting the ball with his hand and Downing blocking a cross with his hand above his shoulder they may well have been well beaten. This is not the first time this ref teamed with the same linesman has turned a blind eye to game changing events. Against Asenal he chose to ignore Giroud Wrestling Boruc whilst winnng the ball for the first goal or ignoring a Saints player wrestled to the ground whilst choosing to give a penalty for a Fonte shirt tug seconds later. WHU will get relegated if they continue to think that brute force will prevail. Their possession of about 30% in their four wins with a goalkeeper playing a blinder will eventually unravel. If not this season not before very long. The Premier would be a better league without their agricultural tactics. Interestingly his previous clubs have imploded as soon as he leaves. It will happen at WHU as well because the radical way he plays needs to be continued with the players in the club, however no successor will play that way.
  13. VW had a reaction with his injury.
  14. I am really looking forward to seeing our players pinning the opposition against the advertising boards.
  15. I think Wanyama had a reaction to his injury, so left out.
  16. What a pit this place is becoming. I thought we were pretty good but just didn't finish the chances we had. We have taken six points from three away games which is a decent return. So we lost to a Neanderthal football team. So what. The linesman missing offside was a game changer. I think they wouldn't have scored the second if they hadn't been gifted the first. They had one game, win the ball and hit it up front. They won, but I can tell you this, If my team played this way I would give up going. They had more than a bit of luck even the second goal hit Yoshida and fell right for Cole. We played as a team against a massed defence and created good chances. Boruc had no chance with the second and third goals. Apart from the first didn't have a save to make. The weaknesses for me. Davis, plenty of buzz and link but no cutting edge, his game is mediocrity that flatters to deceive. Now is the time to bring in Ramirez. Lambert is struggling because only Rodriguez and Lallana are attackers, Schneiderlin, Cork, Davis are too content in midfield so when Wanyama is ready go back to the early season line up with Schneiderlin pushing further forward and Cork and Davis dropping out. Lovren to come back in and maybe Clyne. I think that might reduce the backwards and sideways a little but enhance the penetration and get at the defence a lot quicker without changing the way we play. Lovren and Wanyama would make us stronger in the air.
  17. But not after 26 games on 22nd Feb.
  18. Sums it up for me. I think we should look for a couple of Lambert types in the UK. There are many over priced foreign strikers that have struggled here in recent times,
  19. Agreed, but Gallagher hasn't started since and is still a long way from being Lambert's replacement despite a good goal v Yeovil and a robust display v Arsenal. I think he will be used sparingly. Who knows his present state after his tragic loss. It could take him a while to come to terms with it. Why I disregarded the Arsenal game. I'd like to see him close to playing, only time will tell.
  20. Good player.
  21. I'm having my computer screen heightened at the moment, otherwise I won't be able to see WHU play their version of possession football.
  22. Would you like to comment on the budgetary pressure on the Physiotherapy dept. Comment I've heard " Nicola gave us a budget and left us to it but now etc"
  23. You missed the beautiful through ball for Lallana's goal.
  24. When Lambert hasn't been playing we have been poor. Rodriguez is lost on his own up front. Lambert is the only player we have that is comfortable up front with his back to goal. We play better with Lambert than without him. As for Saturday Guly and JWP gave us nothing up front, Lambert had nothing from them.
