:16:02. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:06.followed swiftly by Saints. Probably two to go. The emphasis
:16:06. > :16:10.will be moving to Southampton. Southampton will hope to join
:16:10. > :16:13.Reading in the Premier League this weekend. If they can get a win at
:16:13. > :16:16.Middlesbrough, they will end their 7 year exile from the top division,
:16:16. > :16:18.a division they played in for almost three decades. So it's apt
:16:18. > :16:21.tonight to talk to the man synonymous with some of
:16:21. > :16:27.Southampton's happiest times in the Premier League. I've been chatting
:16:27. > :16:33.with Matthew Le Tissier. Southampton's Premiership existence
:16:33. > :16:39.is dripping slowly way. May 2005 and Southampton's run in top-flight
:16:39. > :16:45.football came to an end. Southampton are relegated. Painful
:16:45. > :16:51.for fans and players who helped keep them there during the years.
:16:51. > :16:55.Seven long years watching us slide down the divisions was painful. I
:16:55. > :17:01.was commentating the debris were relegated. It was as hard a job as
:17:01. > :17:06.I have done. It was a hard landing to League One and close to going
:17:06. > :17:12.bust. Rebuilds with the money, this could be a second consecutive
:17:12. > :17:21.promotion. It would give everyone a real sense of pride in the city. We
:17:21. > :17:28.have taken a bit of a knock. League One was a big blow. People do tend
:17:28. > :17:31.to underestimate the amount of confidence as a team and squat. The
:17:32. > :17:37.momentum you gain from their promotion and starting with
:17:37. > :17:42.victories at the start is just snowballing. The Premier League is
:17:42. > :17:51.20 years old, Matthew Le Tissier it contributed some of its greatest
:17:51. > :17:54.goals. The class of 2012 can dream of the biggest stage. If they focus
:17:54. > :18:00.on getting the points at Middlesbrough and Coventry on the
:18:00. > :18:05.final day. Saints have never been out of the top two this season,
:18:05. > :18:09.they can cement their place in the league tomorrow. Best of luck to
:18:09. > :18:11.Southampton. Sir John Madejski says the takeover of Reading football
:18:12. > :18:15.club will be completed next week. Russian Anton Zingaravich is buying
:18:15. > :18:18.a controlling stake in the newly promoted club. Reading could move a
:18:18. > :18:21.step closer to securing the championship title if they can beat
:18:21. > :18:23.a Crystal Palace, who, frankly, have nothing to play for. Tuesday's
:18:24. > :18:26.win over Nottingham Forest sparked scenes of celebration for the
:18:27. > :18:32.Royals and the planning has started for the Premier League, but now
:18:32. > :18:35.they have to refocus on staying ahead of Southampton. Some
:18:35. > :18:38.Portsmouth fans have been resigned to relegation for a few weeks now,
:18:38. > :18:42.but they've won their last two games and are still in with a slim
:18:42. > :18:45.chance of survival, but matters are very much out of their hands.
:18:45. > :18:50.Pompey need to beat Derby at Fratton Park and hope that Bristol
:18:50. > :18:53.City don't beat Barnsley at Ashton Gate. That would mean Michael
:18:53. > :18:58.Appleton's men can take their relegation fight to the final day
:18:58. > :19:02.of the season. Elsewhere in the championship Brighton and Hove
:19:02. > :19:04.Albion can't reach the play offs now, they host Birmingham. In
:19:04. > :19:07.league one, there's a mid table clash between Bournemouth and
:19:07. > :19:10.Colchester In league two Crawley are hanging on to the third
:19:10. > :19:19.automatic promotion spot- so their game at Dagenham and Redbridge is
:19:19. > :19:23.crucial tomorrow. Aldershot are at Burton Albion. Two runners from the
:19:23. > :19:29.south face make or break weekends in their quest to gain a place at
:19:29. > :19:32.the Olympic games. With only one place in the women's marathon team
:19:32. > :19:35.up for grabs, Winchester's Louise Damon and Liz Yelling from Poole
:19:35. > :19:38.are among a number of top athletes vying for the remaining place when
:19:38. > :19:41.they tackle this weekend's London Marathon. Even if they run the
:19:41. > :19:46.qualifying time, they face a nail biting wait for the selectors to
:19:46. > :19:54.make their decision, which is expected on Monday.
:19:54. > :20:00.I have the pedigree but I have not shown it. I am not the favourite to
:20:00. > :20:04.take the spot so that suits me. I want to get out there and race and
:20:04. > :20:10.the other girls have moved on. It is really great for marathon
:20:10. > :20:15.running. We would have to run better than ever before. So

:22:01. > :22:05.trousers with very deep pockets. I'm not going to tell you what I'm
:22:05. > :22:08.after - that's a rather silly thing to do isn't it? Whichever side I'm
:22:08. > :22:10.sitting, he always has the card in the other hand, so I can't actually
:22:10. > :22:13.stop him. Ron McCrindell was the foremost
:22:13. > :22:16.authority on tin toys, and there's been huge excitement since it was
:22:16. > :22:23.announced sixty thousand items - his entire collection - was going
:22:23. > :22:27.to auction. This will not happen again. This kind of collection
:22:27. > :22:31.coming on the market is so rare. And it's kind of a meeting place.
:22:31. > :22:33.It's a gathering for all the toy collectors and they're going to be

:22:35. > :22:37.Estimates for lots ranged from twenty pounds up to tens of
:22:37. > :22:45.thousands with this tinplate spirit-fired battleship the
:22:45. > :22:49.undisputed star. It was bought in the late 1960s, for a reasonable
:22:49. > :22:54.sum of money at that time. But it's now estimated at forty to sixty
:22:54. > :22:56.thousand pounds. So I'm trying very hard not to drop it. With those in
:22:56. > :22:59.the auction room competing against phone bidders from Europe and
:22:59. > :23:07.America, it was clear the previous record of forty thousand pounds was
:23:07. > :23:12.about to be blasted out of the water. �76,000 - the most expensive
:23:12. > :23:16.toy ever. The winning phone bid was from a European collector. So what
:23:16. > :23:19.would Ron have made of it all? He would love to know that it was
:23:19. > :23:29.going to people who'd really appreciate what he strove for over

:23:48. > :23:54.today. Pea sized hail captured in Binfield in Berkshire by Neil

:24:19. > :24:23.with a clearing skies but some rain, especially on the south coast.
:24:23. > :24:28.Persistent and lingering in the early hours. Clear skies for inland
:24:28. > :24:33.areas. A ground frost with temperatures down to three or four
:24:33. > :24:37.in towns and cities. The lingering rain stays on the south coast the
:24:37. > :24:41.Sussex first thing. Back to square one with a shout as, rolling in
:24:41. > :24:48.from the West, heavy, thundery and slow moving. Persistent in some
:24:48. > :24:53.areas. Highs of 12 or 13. The wind will gradually pick up speed. We
:24:53. > :24:58.use the showers tomorrow night although a few dotted around along
:24:58. > :25:04.the south coast. Once again, the risk of a touch of frost in the
:25:04. > :25:08.countryside, lows of 4-7. A cold start to the day on Sunday. A
:25:08. > :25:12.mixture of sunshine and showers. The showers less frequent than
:25:12. > :25:21.Saturday. If you are heading to the London Marathon, a dry start, quite
:25:21. > :25:27.chilly. A high of around six or seven. Rising to 12-14. There will
:25:27. > :25:33.be showers out there if you are a slow run. Temperatures around 12
:25:33. > :25:39.Celsius in the afternoon. Full coverage on the BBC. Monday, we do
:25:39. > :25:44.it all again. Low-pressure heading towards us, this coming Monday low-
:25:44. > :25:50.pressure and squeezed isobars. Rain at times, gale-force wind on the
:25:50. > :25:58.south coast. A wet and windy day. Tuesday, the Shah was will make a
:25:58. > :26:02.return. This is the summary, one or two thundery showers, prolongs,
:26:02. > :26:08.slow moving -- the showers. Heavy rain arrives on Monday, and gale-
