Shove that up your arse Man Utd, Spurs dominated them!!

I wouldn't call it domination, but spurs did press hard in the second half. It just goes to show how much our defence has improved since the first part of the season when we were leaking goals all over the place. Spurs were lucky to get off the hook though with the Rooney penalty shout. They should have been dead and buried had that penalty been given. I guess the officials have their good and bad days. The weather certainly wasn't on their side.

Dominated, partially. Screwed out of a PK, yes. Given the circumstances, I think Tottenham came out pretty lucky with that result.

Which is why Dempsey celebrated like he won the cup :p

I hope Rafa gets sacked just for continuing to start Torres. Ba has already proven to be in better form, he should start every match - we need the scoring. I've always liked Torres, he works hard, but now we have someone better.

Couldn't stomach a full season of Benitez.

It was reported in the press that RDM was sacked because of not starting Torres, something which RA demanded. I don't understand why some clubs have to interfere and take such matters out the managers hands. Why have managers in the first place?

One example is the oligarch at Chelsea and another that comes to mind is the chicken merchant aka 'global advisor' @ Blackpool FC who was ruffled (excuse the pun) for picking their starting team not long ago.

If that was any Man utd player getting almost chopped down in the box they would've gone down, if Dempsey hadnt have let you off it would've been a very different game! Penalty and a sending off.. Either way, happy with 4 points against united this season!

From what I heard the new manager just told then to continue with what they know. Sounds like we have the best chances and some of our players did raise their game a little. Hopefully we can continue our improvements and get a couple new faces in before the end of the window especially with some of the people we have been linked with. I don't watch the games, I seem to be bad luck and only see/hear goals going against us so I watch the replays and updates (plus last thing I need is premature aging!).

As for the fans. We knew we needed to back the team and the new manager, NC's actions are not their fault. Show Adkins that we respect and appreciate his actions and that he will always be remembered for what he has done for us but then move forward and focus on the rest of the season.

Just saw that there's some discussion going on about the Man Utd vs Tottenham game and if you think that Tottenham were "lucky" to come out with a point you clearly didn't watch the game or you're one of the deluded Manchester United fans. Man Utd has ONE opportunity in the first half which they took (don't give me that 'we're a one chance one goal side GGMU rubbish) and in the second half they were absolutely outplayed.

It was domination from Spurs, the shots and shots on goal shows that. Each time Manchester United had the ball, they'd try and hold it for long periods because Spurs isn't exactly a side that presses on you when the opposition has the ball but Spurs were most definitely a more threatening side going up top and they most definitely deserved the point, if not 3!

What is everyones view on Suarez today?

First he is racist and now he is biting players. I hope he gets a hefty ban and Liverpool offload him. They can't keep him after that. They already looked weak keeping him after the Evra incident.

Yeah they need to rid of him, he's a disgrace. The fact he scored the equaliser as well just sums it up, seeing him celebrate when he shouldn't even be on the pitch made me want to punch the screen.

Well, he was biting before he was racist. He was banned for 7 games in Holland for biting.

It's an odd situation with him really. He is an extremely talented footballer, but (it seems) a lousy person. Biting, racism, diving, handballs, punching the list probably goes on.

I know there are many players who cheat (diving, handball etc), and every time it is Suarez it is picked up on by the press maybe more then when others do it.

I'm not sure who would want to risk buying him, but I think he should be gone after this latest incident.

Well Liverpool have fined him :pinch:

Does anyone else think if it was one of their lesser players, they would just get rid of him but because Suarez is their best player they don't want to offload him.

Plus i'd kind of understand if this was the first time he has done it. Heat of the moment and all that. This is the second time he has done it. He clearly didn't learn his lesson the first time.

He makes Balotelli look like a saint.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
