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?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      By +Nik Louch · Posted

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
