I was an airline pilot for 35 years both long haul and short haul, sometimes 6 flights a day. There is no doubt in my mind that there would be an effect on the individuals. Weston told me on Thursday that the team were flying up on Saturday and I thought then that it wasn't really the best thing to do, especially as they are usually so meticulous about their sports science preparation. But then it is not something they would have experience of. The day before would have been fine but on the morning, I just can't see that there wouldn't be a reaction.

I've learned my lesson, I keep going and let the traffic flow take care of itself.

Chanrai could have a problem as he is due to stand trial on money laundering in HK is he not?

I'm not sure flying up on the day was the most sensible thing to do. Logistically it was the most convenient. I know it was only a fifty minute flight but there are other considerations. Some people are nervous of flying for a start, and even for those who are not, flying provides uncomfortable moments. Leeds is not the most routine airport to fly into. It is the safest way to travel but most people don't relish the flight itself. Going there and back by air on the same day was probably the only cost effective way of doing it, as the aircraft wouldn't have stayed in Leeds if it had been two days. There could have been an effect on some of the players.

We battled at the back but as we didn't shut them down higher up the park and backing off we made ourselves vulnerable. Leeds most of the time played into our hands by hoisting loads of Lloyd James type balls into the goalmouth. It's an old saying, "Pressure doesn't win matches", today that was true. Leeds had lots of balls pinging around the goal area but created nothing as clear as Lambert's goal after Chaplow, Richardson, Cork, and Lee cut Leeds apart. All Leeds frenetic play culminated in pressurised snatched chances. Davis was in his element, he is undoubtedly if deficient in some areas, a superb shotstopper. His finest moment after one of his forlorn hope charges off his line with no hope of getting the ball was a magnificent double safe and clearing slap at the ball. We gave far too many silly little fouls away in our half which just added to the pressure. Richardson and Fonte didn't have their best game today and I think Bechio concentrated on Fonte as Hoiveldt is much better in the air. In the end we battled out a win provided by really one of the three clear moves all provided by us that played attackers clear one on one with the goalkeeper. Leeds had pressure but because of the lofted balls weren't able to play through us.

Brilliant shot stopping won the game for us after a class team goal.

That will really work as we still have to play them.

Was the accident opposite the chip shop?

Presumably he's now expecting PFC to receive the £2.2m no matter what arrangement pre administration.

The League would be in deep mire if they propped up Pompey with say an advance of the TV money for this season, which in itself might not bring a points penalty. Pompey beat the drop and are bought at the eleventh hour and three other clubs are relegated. The only thing the League can do is leave it to the Administrator and if they liquidate carry out the League rules.

It looks like the 2013 parachute payments are already allocated to football debts, then 2014 payments £8m could if not required be available. It looks like there is nothing due for two years.

And your comments show you realised the problems. Should he have scored, I haven't a clue, but it wasn't easy to react, a pace back or forward and it would have been a tap in, but in exactly the position he was he wasn't able to react quickly enough, I've been there and by the sounds of it so have you. The pal I sit with, was widely recognised as the best player in his era not playing full time professional football (By choice I would add) in the Southern area, he like me only saw the replay and also felt that it just didn't fall right making it a half chance.

And from where Billy Sharp was running in full pelt it was difficult, that's the difference. To even make a remark that there was plenty of time shows a total lack of football understanding.

The answer to the creditors rule is simple if teams try and ditch their debts by going into admin. Withdraw the registrations of players who are not paid for until a new agreement is contracted to pay off the original transfer fee post administration. Allow no new players to be signed until that happens.

It is quite obvious that the people on here that dismiss the chance that came back off Green at West Ham as easy have never played at any level. I had heard that it was an easy chance into an open goal but when I saw the chance it was nothing of the sort. The ball hit Green and came back off him like a bullet, Sharp was running in and had no time to adjust to get his boot to the ball, it really just hit him and deflected back towards goal. The fact that Green was on the ground and the goal was open was irrelevant as Sharp had no chance to set himself. It was a difficult chance and would have needed a lucky bounce off him to go in.

He would only have worn 7 for part of those appearances as he also played in the middle.

Can't see him back until Thursday or Friday afternoon. That's a lot of flying and time change in four days. Physically not in the same class as Puncheon and certainly not at Leeds.

I think he has to complete the first month on loan then is able to return. Never mind the one poor match, there has been a month of assessment in training and there is no sign that he has overtaken, Guly or DeRidder who aren't in the frame at the moment. This week we have Lee out, Lallana doubtful, Lambert a question mark, if he doesn't get a mention It will probably mean that he isn't required. As far as I'm concerned I'd keep him until the end of the season.

Terry Paine because he wore the 7 shirt by playing right wing for years before squad numbers. 800+ games is unsurpassed at this club.

I think we have moved on to the run in where it's all about getting a result as the only priority.

A good reaction shot stopper with a very accurate long kick. Poor on crosses, commanding the goal area, communication, distribution.

It looks like the players are taking a 25% deferral.

Tal Ben Haim, reported to be on £38k p/w

I get the impression this is all about who gets what and what the charges are worth in relation to CV/liquidation. I am sure there is no intention to sell/leaseback.
