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?

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
