Big News right now Freddie Ljungberg has been told hes surplus to requirements at Arsenal. I feel quite sad about that because hes always been so loyal and you never hear any transfer rubbish about him. He also gives 100% every game :(

If that is true then it certainly is a shame. Freddie Ljungberg was one of my favourite players at one point with his trademark purple hair :p. I remember the days when him and Pires used to rule the wing, it used to be a joy to watch for the neutral fan! Although to be honest, I have only heard rumours about this, and until it is confirmed by Wenger I will not believe it.

Martyn don't think you've escaped from me as a liverpool supporter. 6-3, 3-1, 3-0. LOL, Arsenal have so much more quality than Liverpool it's unbelievable. Furthermore, I think this season we've proved that we can play without Henry and have quality in depth. I think we have the best range of youngsters in the world.

Reading in the paper today, the line up that beat liverpool 3-6 only costed the club 15mill to buy, With 12 mill being of Theo Walcott.

That sounds like a pretty good bargin to me.

Still i think Rafel Benny has to go, he doesn't lack a team, he lacks the will to make them play well. But Liverpool are 3rd and still in europe so you never know. But i suspect if nothing comes good for liverpool he will be given the boot

I have no idea how people can justify there criticism of Rafa Benitez. He is one of the best managers in the world, and probably one of the best tacticians. I mean, the guy keeps DVD compilations of every player to show them just so he can show the players how they can improve! He is a perfectionist, just look at this (click). Numerous players who played against Liverpool and Valencia have commented that his team are always hard to play against because they are tactically superb.

What you have to realise that when Rafa came to Liverpool, he had a pretty disorganised squad with the likes of Diouf, Heskey, Henchoz and Cheyrou. He has over hurled the squad and we probably have one of the best squads in the Premiership, having spent less than half of what Houllier did.

Rafa has been at Liverpool for two years and won two of the best footballing accolades you can. The European Cup and the FA Cup, not to mention he has won two other trophies as well as getting to two other finals. You name another manager who has had a better success rate than that? He has broken numerous Liverpool records, we have accumulated our highest Premiership points total with him (and in any other year that would of won us the league), and broken the consecutive clean sheets and total clean sheets records. Do not forget in Spain he won the La Liga twice, with a tenth of the resources that Real Madrid and Barca had. I am confident that given time, he will bring number 19 back to Anfield.

In Rafa we trust.

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
