i questiong what benitez is thinking, his job is in the balance ofgood results getting us back on form, and he picks a team which arguably isnt our best, i know it might be "sporting" to play a weaker team against such a low placed team,but jesus christ, what the hell was Itandje thinking with their 2nd goal!?

no disrespect to havant and there 600 fans + 5400 band wagon jumpers, who in all honesty did play well, but they should never of scored 1 let alone 2.

Well I always thought H&W would score at Anfield. I mean, they are a team that work very hard for the cause and deserve to be where they are (in the 4th round). The gap in football between The Premiership and the Conference South is massive, and I don't just mean in terms of class, but in terms of the actual football played.

The team we put out today a lot of other Premiership clubs would love to have as their first team XI, so it is not like we where not taking H&W seriously ;)

Liverpoole played a good squad, it just that H&W had some great passage of plays.

At one point, they were nearly doing one touch football, and they got it between the defence in the lead up to the first goal.

Some great stuff!

I live in Waterlooville and live about 5 minutes away from where the old Jublie Park was, where Waterlooville played there footy before joining up with Havant.

Yay! We Beat Liverpool :D

We had more play, more shoots on and off target and still we couldn't win and they are saying West Ham derserved to win :huh: The Penalty was questionable really.

I am sick of Liverpool right now, it hurts. Benitez has got them going the wrong way, we will never stand a chance winning thr premiership with him. I don't think we will even qualify for Europe, not even the UEFA cup.

I'd like to say this is good news, but im not sure.

As happy as i would be to see Benitez say, Gillet and Hicks go, and a more fan based input, im a bit reserved as to what i feel on this.

"Liverpool supporters are to launch an ambitious plan to buy the football club from its current American owners. US tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks recently finalised a ?350m refinancing of the club which they bought in 2007.

But the Share Liverpool FC Group is to reveal plans for a buy-out of the club by 100,000 Reds fans around the world."

as much as I hate the guy, he's on fire at the moment and great technique for that freekick. I dont see him as a winger though, more like a wing striker/forward. He bombs forward and stay upfront, never tracking back to win the ball/defend. He's as much a winger as Thierry Henry was.

Would you swap that victory for a West Ham win in the FA Cup Final in 2005 :p

*Martyn* slumbers head on desk*. Good luck fighting for a Champions league place :p :)

Ahh I think you are right mate. There are bigger thing's happening at the club at the moment, and to everything is sorted then I think these blippy results will continue.

There is no excuse though really, we are playing crap and half our players do not even look arsed.

I think it is an excellent idea. This was the club would be the fans. I am seriously considering investing ?5,000 into the club as well, even though I am only a "poor" student...I might be able to find some money. I have already registered my commitment on http://www.ShareLiverpoolFC.com.

Achieving the Barcelona model may be a long way away, but it could happen.

Seems pretty ambitious but if it works it will be awesome, something similar happened recently with ebsfleet in lower league of course they werent asking for ?5k each.

Well the ebsfleet example was a bit different. Members pay ?35 a year into the club, and they get to pick the team online!

Has Everyone heard of this new 'idea' to have one game extra for each club to be played outside England? Absolutely rubbish, I'm sorry but the only reason is that these people want even more money than they already have.

If we give into this we are selling away the soul of ENGLISH football.

What are other peoples opinions?

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
