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.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7217238.stm

"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?

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
