Yea, our defending was very poor at times, Yakubu had several chances he should have put away, though Lamps did hit the crossbar for us.

Was very dissapointed with the overall performance.

Did you see Andrew Davies' "tackle" on Drogba though? what was he thinking?

This is a shocker!!! Boro stuns Chelsea! 2 late winners give Boro a deserved win. Chelsea are now 7th in the standings!!! Who would have imagined that. Boro played really well. I wish Chelsea continue to fail like this.

Another superb performance from United. They have been plaing very well. Even in the absense of Rooney and Scholes, they managed a healthy 3-0 victory. Fantastic show from the players. Solskjaer's late goal was heartening to see. Saha scored again.

2 late winners? :huh: they only won by 1 goal :|

Chelsea are now 7th in the standings!!! Who would have imagined that.

Um it is only 2 games into the season :rolleyes:

I wish Chelsea continue to fail like this.

and likewise i hope man utd do equally as sh*t :D

I started supporting chelsea because i enjoyed our unpredictability :p used to love it when we came 4th/5th/6th because winning meant more, and we were exciting to watch. (not saying that we arent exciting now) plus we were a lot of peoples second favourite team :)

Now everyone hates us :cry: and winning doesnt seem to mean as much from my point of view because it doesnt feel so much like its come through hard work such as the fa cup wins in '97 or '00 but more just because we can afford who ever we want, and it seems to easy some of the time.

and yes i hate all our tag-along supporters we have gained as much as the next person :)

Chelsea lose, like I care.

Boro humbled them last season at the Riverside.

Boro didn't deserve to lose against Reading, bit of justice for Viduka.

Going to be a topsey turvy premiership season, if Chelsea do win it, be a mean feat, especially as they have a squad of 15 players that could grace the premiership.

On a sad point I hope Ben Thatcher gets a life ban from football for his disgraceful challange, Paul Davis (Arsenal) v's Southampton got a 12 match ban for less.

Chelsea can have Ashley Cole, he only wants money not first team football.

seems to have slipped my mind :p

anyway thats not the point you said at the riverside and i can quite easily remind you of the score from when we came to highbury :rofl:

My writing had nothing to do with Arsenal v's Boro (or shall I mention the 6-1 spanking we gave you a few seasons before at your ground?).

I mentioned Boro also beat Chelsea last season there.

Edited by leesmithg

What a great night last night.

Chelsea beaten.

Utd winning 3 nil

Ole back scoring again

8 goals in 2 games :)

top of the league and 2 points clear (for now!) LOL

I know only 2 games gone, but start as you mean to go on! :)

Nice to see the choir boy back, best goal scorer you had for many years.

Will this finally be the demise of money bags Chelsea, if Arsenal don't win it, rather see anyone else than Chelsea win it and that includes Moan United.

LOL Yeah, not the hardest goal ole will ever have to score, but a goal is a goal, and it helps his confidence.

Hopefully many more to come this season :)

The demise of Chelsea, I most certainly hope so!

Just hope one of us big boys "Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool etc" gives them a proper hiding this season, put them back in their place :D

Yes so i've noticed but no need to take it out on chelsea fans such as me :p ive already stated I dont enjoy supporting them as much now multi trillion billion pound doodaa is with us.

Then again you could always lighten up, it is only a game remember..... :rofl:

Chelsea should be docked 10 points anyway.

Revenue in is less than revenue leaving.

I meant to say, two late goals, one being the equaliser other the winner. :blush:

Its not about 2 games into the season, its about the result. :p

And yeah you can hope that United do equally as sh*t, I hope Chelsea continue this sh*t. No harm in hoping you see. ;)

MEH Poor Pedro Mendes, Ben Thatcher should get banned for months for what he did to pedro.

What he did cause Mendes to just fall to the ground out cold. and last i heard he was getting kept in hosptial over night.

The Football Association has confirmed it is investigating Manchester City defender Ben Thatcher's challenge on Portsmouth's Pedro Mendes.

Thatcher received a yellow card for his challenge which left Mendes needing oxygen at the pitchside.

Mendes later suffered a seizure en route to hospital.

An FA spokesman told BBC Sport: "We're looking at whether this may be viewed as an exceptional case as rules make it difficult to upgrade a yellow card."

Thatcher appeared to catch Mendes with his forearm, sending the Portuguese midfielder into advertising hoardings.

The FA has to do something, it is there for all to see

Pompey boss Harry Redknapp

The FA will wait to see the contents of referee Dermot Gallagher's match report before deciding its next course of action.

Had Gallagher dismissed Thatcher for violent conduct, FA rules allow it to impose further punishment on top of the three-match ban the offence carries.

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp was incensed by the challenge and called for the FA to take action against Thatcher.

Redknapp said: "The FA have to do something, it is there for all to see.

"I do not want to see anyone suspended but how could that possibly not be a red card?

"What do you have to do to get a red, kill someone?"

The incident was captured by television cameras but video evidence cannot be used to retrospectively upgrade a yellow card.

A Fifa spokesman confirmed to BBC sport: "It is one of the fundamental rules of the game that the referee's decision is final.

"Therefore, if it is his decision that an offence warrants a yellow card, that cannot be changed later by somebody else."

Mendes travelled back to Portsmouth after overnight observation and a club statement said: "He will continue to be under medical and neurological supervision during the forthcoming week."

What he did cause Mendes to just fall to the ground out cold. and last i heard he was getting kept in hosptial over night.

What Ben Thatcher did was disgraceful. I know first hand that what he did to Mendes could of actually killed him, and it was not like there was no intent to hurt him. I read this morning that Pedro Mendes had a seizure as well, and was kept in hospital overnight.

I never used to mind Chelsea, they were effectively just like Newcastle. They never posed a threat to the big boy's but they were always up there in about fifth or sixth spot. Chelsea used to play good football, it used to be a joy to watch Gianfranco Zola every week.

Chelsea could win the title for the next ten year's in a row, but no one would really give them credit for it as it is simply spending money on the best player's around. If a club is going to spend a lot of money, they should only spend the money they actually earned by being successful (like Manure for instance), and not just the money of a billionaire backer. At least then it would be fair. If you win the title fair and square it would feel a lot better than winning it with the knowledge that without your oil tycoon then it would never have happened.

I heard that most of Chelsea's new supporters are actually ex-Mancs.

That wouldn't surprise me, in which case i want man utd to win the premiership this season and then they might all go back to supporting them instead of us :)

On another note I don't see why it would be so much trouble for the FA to upgrade Thatchers yellow to a ban, and a BIG ban at that.

Wondered when it would appear.

Thatcher is a thug and should be banned from football for a season.

I will mention this, if he did this in the street, people are saying he would goto jail, they are wrong he would get an ?80 fine.

Hope Thatcher remembers this next time he feels like elbowing someone, it will be cheaper to do it in public.

Man City have suspended him, not sure for how long. It was disgraceful but in an interview I heard with someone from the club, he was really shaken up by his own actions when he watched it back, not that it makes up for it but it's not as if he is going around feeling it was ok.

Charged by FA too.. http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/Ne...cherCharged.htm

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
