I've not seen Osvaldo play however I get the drift. One of our big complaints last year has been the number of chances missed by our forwards, especially early on in games. It may well be that Osvaldo is seen as a more incisive finisher and will be the primary in play striker, whilst Lambert will play as usual and look to play him in, in the meantime Rodriguez, Lallana, Ramirez etc, whoever is in will provide movement, alternatives, and back up. I can't see the system changing and just think that Lambert will be the catalyst to get the best out of the other three forwards whilst picking up his quota of in play goals.

Clyne and Shaw looked pretty active in training.

Paypal paid my subscription on 3rd August on a recurring renewal. Membership lapsed, I have sent 4 messages with NO reply, it's a bloody shambles.

One thing for sure, there is no difference between rubbish watched by one man and his dog and rubbish watched by 18000+. it's still rubbish.

I like the way Chambers has fitted in, he looks a good player, shades of Luke Shaw.

It might be worth checking but it doesn't look as though it's on until 2 am sharing with the Cardiff/Blackpool play off final.

Look out for Davis missing at his near post and ball watching Harding with no one to mark failing to cover Seabourne, leaving him as the last man unable to clatter CMS on the breakaway. If Harding had been aware he would have dropped in behind Seabourne allowing him to physically block off CMS.

I think he may be the son of a very good ex Brading and Southern League goal keeper can't remember his Christian name.

We get a 15% discount at Waitrose, regularly use Morrisons and Asda but every week my wife goes to Lidl. A lot of the produce there is good. The chocolate is first class. The main difference is they don't carry multiple choices of the same product but they do quality brands eg Gold Blend coffee etc. The fruit and vegetables are as good as anywhere else.

There appears to be two Adam Lallana positions. The midfield position he seems to be taking up in the latter half of the season and in the sporadic internet coverage of the last two friendlies where he appears peripheral and ineffective. Then the wide left where he seems most effective with the odd switch to the wide right and rather than coming in centrally all the time does it less often but into more advanced positions. The second for me is the position he excels at. The central position often sees him crowded out.

Interestingly, Bezak said that he had the advantage because at the time the fighter pilots were only flying about 40 hours a year. Probably the easiest way to knock a light aeroplane down with a jet would be to make a high speed close pass over the top of it and leave the vortices and jet wash to do the rest.

On 19th December 1971 Ladislav Bezak put his wife and four boys into the cockpit of his Zlin 226 two seater aerobatic trainer which he had built himself out of purchased parts. Because he was a qualified engineer, CSA pilot, 1960 World aerobatic champion, inventor of the Lomcevak manoeuvre he was allowed to keep the only private aircraft on the Czech registry. He set off and was located by radar, a Mig 15 was vectored on to him whilst still about 12 minutes from the West German border and safety. Even though it was illegal for the Czech Air Force to open fire on civilian aircraft, the Mig 15 made a number of attacks with cannons but through his skill as an aerobatic pilots he was able to anticipate the attacks and turn inside them. Eventually he landed in Nurmburg. He still has and flies the Zlin in displays whilst living in Canada.

Following on from my post on Tony Liskutin, I found a piece in the Daily Express today (might be on the internet edition) showing Tony this week in the back of Carolyn Grace's two seat Spitfire in formation with the aircraft with his personal squadron registration on, in which he was shot down on D Day doing ground attacks, then force landed. The aircraft was recovered and is now based at Biggin Hill. Tony had a DFC and I'm sure an AFC, shot down 8 German aircraft and knowing him had a piece of a lot more. He dived a Spitfire past it's VNE and when checked he'd slightly swept the wings. I've seen photo's of battle damage, one bounced by a FW190 left a door size hole in the wing, with him showing his mates on landing. Another after shooting up a train he was so low on pulling up he hit the tops of some trees and left some big dents in the leading edges. After the war he was the designated Czech Air Force solo aerobatic display pilot in Spitfires but when changed to Me109Gs he tried to do the same display when he first tried out the aircraft, (nobody told him about the wing bolt weakness), when he landed an engineer came out and called him down to look at the wings which were on the point of falling off.

If we ever come out of the EU there could be massive immigration issues for foreign born players. The number of foreign players could reduce dramatically.

He didn't say anything critical about the Merlin. He did say that the Thunderbolt had a large cockpit with plenty of room and was relatively comfortable rather than the tight squeeze in the Hurricane and Spitfire. He did say that the liquid cooled Merlin was susceptible to radiator damage whereas the radial was able to absorb quite a lot of damage without overheating and seizing up. If you are really interested in the war, another instructor of mine Tony Liskutin wrote a really interesting book ( Challenge in the Air by M A Liskutin ), he still lives in Fareham. It tells the story of his early years in Czechoslovakia, escape from the Germans, joined French Air Force, then joined RAF, flew Spitfire until 1945, Spitfires and Me109s (Avia built) in Czech Air Force, imminent arrest by Communists, escape from Czechoslovakia, re-joined RAF, subsquently instructed at Hamble, Eastleigh and Zambia until retirement. Amazon have it in stock if you are interested. He introduced me to Ladislav Bezak the Zlin test pilot and world aerobatic champion that put his family in a Zlin and flew them out of Czechoslovakia to West Germany (another story).

One of my old instructors Nigel Kemp was a fighter pilot in Douglas Bader's 242 Squadron. He told me that the Merlin sounded like a bag of nails compared to the massive radial air cooled engine in the Thunderbolt he flew later in the war. He said the radial purred in comparison.

As somebody who voted for continuing in the common market, who remembers what it was like before entry, all I can say is that the EU is the biggest, most corrupt scam ever vested on this planet by a political minority. It has turned this country into mess with it's laws and restrictions.

Whilst the bomber version was unarmed the fighter bomber was heavily armed with four .303 machine guns and four 20mm cannon in the nose. The aircraft did have a flaw that caused deaths. The single engine safety speed was a fair bit above the lift off speed and an engine failure at take off power before reaching this speed caused the aircraft to roll over. There was only three ways to counter it, hold it down and get to safety speed before an engine failure or if an engine fails either cut the other one and crash land straight ahead or reduce the power on the live engine sufficiently to keep control and try and nurse the speed up subject to the take off weight to the safety speed increasing the power as the speed increases provided the aircraft has enough height to allow.

It's a load of ********. Anybody who thinks average Lady members could enjoy playing courses like Muirfield etc are living in cloud cuckoo land. Unless the tees were placed really forward the average Lady wouldn't even want to play courses of that difficulty. It would be only top class Ladies that would get round with a golf score. If anybody thinks that is a sexist comment I'll take it a stage further even the average male would find it too difficult. This is a political football with the idiots like Miller and Salmond trying to make an issue out of a non issue. What about the fact that there are more Ladies only clubs than Men only clubs being totally ignored. As a seven day a week golfer I'm absolutely in favour of Ladies only courses. It's a shame there aren't a few in this area. As a final word if anyone wants a female free golfing environment, visit the practice ground, somewhere most of them never go, need I say more.

Lib Dems run up the white flag.

The Melia Hotels in Varadero were good, some poor hotels, Holguin was a ****hole. As there was only one flight a week we stayed there for a week or slipped to Montego bay/Cancun half way through and vice versa. I went there for about eight years on multiple occasions.

757 would do it with a tech stop.

The Dash 8 - Q400 cruises at about 400 mph at 23000 ft not much different to the 146 max alt 29000. I flew them for a couple of years after I retired, good performance, poor landing characteristics due to large props discing after retarding acting as an air brake, unless the wheels are on the runway it lands with a clatter. Some pilots try and touch down leaving power on but that causes tail strikes and a long float. What I came on to say was from the photographs it looks like they are based at PGA Catalunya one of the top golf courses in the area.

No problem, I wouldn't sack him. Just get the shirt out and make the idiot pee on it and post that on You Tube. If he won't, get rid of him and post a video of everybody else on site peeing on it. Job done. WTFILN.

There are over thirty cricket clubs within thirty minutes of Southampton, which equates to probably well over a hundred teams as many have four teams. Many of them also have thriving youth set ups.
