Sh*t liverpool vs chealsea omg they  re gone  :cry:

Should be a great game, this time it's a group game and not a straight knockout like last season, but Chelsea will be out for revenge big time after being knocked out by Liverpool in the 2004/05 tournament. Match of the week imo :)

Yes Bayern are looking good this season despite their 2-0 defeat away to Hamburg today, but they still remain top with 6 wins out of 7 in the Bundesliga. But they have every chance of going far in the Champions League this season, not good enough to win it outright though imo, but then at this stage last season i don't think the majority of people thought Liverpool would win it, or Porto the season before, so ya never know! :)

Results for Tuesday 27th September

A Bayern Munich 1 - 0 Club Brugge

A Juventus 3 - 0 Rapid Vienna

B Ajax 1 - 2 Arsenal

B FC Thun 1 - 0 Sparta Prague

C Panathinaikos 2 - 1 Werder Bremen

C Barcelona 4 - 1 Udinese

D Lille 0 - 0 Villarreal

D Manchester United 2 - 1 Benfica

In Group A tonight goals from David Trezeguet, Adrian Mutu and Zlatan Imbrahimovic sealed an easy 3-0 victory for Juventus while Bayern Munich failed to impress in a 1-0 victory over Club Brugge. FC Thun got their first ever Champions League victory at home to Sparta Prague in Group B, while in the same group Arsenal got an away victory in Amsterdam against Ajax, Freddie Ljunberg amongst the scorers there.

In Group C Werder Bremen suffered another defeat in this competition, this time away to Panathinaikos in Greece, and also in Group C world player of the year Ronaldinho hit a hat-trick for Barcelona in a 4-1 rout over Udinese at the Nou Camp. Finally Group D saw Manchester United get their first victory of this year's group stage, against Benfica. Ruud Van Nistelrooy getting the winner in a 2-1 win, while Lille and Villarreal fought out a boring 0-0 draw.

Player of the night: Ronaldinho for that hat-trick, the first goal was certainly special imo :)

Ronaldinho was undoubtedly the class act of the night. That first goal was a marvel. I wish this match had been telecast instead of Arsenal vs. Ajax.

Alson, congratulations to Ruud Van Nistelrooy for maintaining his scoring record in the Champions League. 43 goals in 50 games!!

Yes congrats to Van Nistelrooy indeed! For a man who gets a lot of stick for missing lots of chances in the premiership, he has once again proved he is the man in the Champions League. One of the best goalscoring records in the tournament all time :)

And also congrats to Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero and Club Brugge Striker Gert Verheyen who both made their 100th appearance in European club competition tonight :)

Another busy night of Champions League action saw turkish side Fenerbahce hit three past PSV Eindhoven in Group E with two goals from Alex, and Jan Venegoor Of Hesselink getting sent off for the Dutch side. Also in the same group Schalke 04 came from behind twice to earn a draw against Milan AC, Clarence Seedorf scoring for the Italians after just 21.7 seconds from the start and Larsen equalising for the Germans two minutes later in an exciting match at the Gelsenkirchen. Shevchenko also amongst the scorers in that match.

Player of the night: Raul Gonzalez of Real Madrid for getting to the magical 50 goal mark first :)

I was at work so I missed the action (for me here in the States would have been the Chelsea-Liverpool showdown). Sounds like a good day of football. Still concerned about Milan's defense not being as stingy as I had grown accustomed to. Blowing a one goal lead? TWICE? It's a bit discomforting.

Yes the talk by the experts after the game was of the Milan defence, in particular the AGE of the defence. The 2nd Schalke goal imo was completely misread by Nelson Dida in the Milan goal, it seems he thought the shot (a long range effort from 35 yards) was going well past the post. But i think you're right to be concerned, Schalke created too many clear cut chances, not good from a Milan point of view. In an attacking sense they still look hot though.

Liverpool should of had a penalty, Gallas punched a goalbound Carra header. Other than that we were more than match for Chelsea.

They should have gotten 3 penalties, Chelsea went to Anfield to play for a point, how that could haunt them in the coming phases.

Chelsea play boring football. It's pretty much fact now in the football world.

The most exciting teams in the Premiership have to be Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle to an extent. As they actually go out to win every game. And to win it in style.

But the fact is, Chelsea DO win every game, unlike Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd :

How the 4 teams are doing in the Premiership at the moment:

Chelsea -: Played 7, Won 7, Drawn , Lost , Scored 14, Conceded 1

Man Utd -: Played 6, Won 3, Drawn 2, Lost 1, Scored 7, Conceded 3

Arsenal -: Played 6, Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 2, Scored 9, Conceded 4

Liverpool-: Played 5, Won 1, Drawn 4, Lost , Scored 3, Conceded 2

So Chelsea don't actually go out to win every game? I think not...

Chelsea boring? I think not... they are ahead on all the stats, and they don't lie. Like they're all saying now, everyone's jealous of their success. Still a long way to go, but Chelsea have been fantastic up to now.

Hardly jealous, they are boring in their football, and nothing you said there said they played exciting football. Yes, they score, but we all love that long ball over the top, don't we?

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
