We've won a few games in a row now and we are in good form. Do you still hate Rafa?

Anyway, lets hope we can finish Inter at the San Siro tomorrow.

not really, they are beating crappy teams, games they SHOULD be winning. All rafa has to do is not screw with the lineup and he will get a lot more support. Keep playing who is hot, and you see what happens when you start and play pennant, he contributes, unlike babel and lucas who are still to young...

The age has nothing to do about it. As you said before play who is hot, aka on form. Chop them after a period of "get better or your our of the team" Thats how most teams operate. When it comes to a select few matches thats when you can take a risk of swaping a midfielder or striker.

You weren't a closet scummer before they went down were you?

Sad to see a Fareham lad liking any other team than Pompey tbh :p

haha never! nah dads from Middlesbrough and him and brother support those Smoggies, and i chose to support Liverpool like my mum to even out the feuds.

but yeah,never been a Scummer, or Pompey Scum infact, i did support Crystal Palace for a stage and Watford, but i was 3 at the time haha.

A bit like me when I was 6 I supported Man Utd but my Aunty thought I liked Arsenal and used to send me Arsenal kits because he daughter was assistant to the director :laugh: but then I found my true calling...West Ham *silence falls*

i agree but rafa can't get that in his head, a player can score a goal one game and then the next game he won't even play then may not start the next... it makes no sense. if the player is hot ride him until he cools down...

Yes because Inter are a crap team? Beating them home and away is a crap achievement as well?

Babel has been playing really well recently (well, he was crap last night), but before that he was in really good form. The only reason Lucas is recently is because of the change in formation and we generally have to rest one of our three central midfielders now again (and for things like when Alonso's wife had her baby, and when Mascherano got a knock last week).

when you are playing a team that is down to ten men, yeah you SHOULD win, especially when its an italian team that is defensively minded...

I knew Liverpool would get Inter Milan. I just knew it. And boy oh boy, Torres is on fire!

Damn, I hope the final would be something like Manchester United vs. Barcelona, that would be just awesome!

Not always, and that is the beauty of football. Your logic is fundamentally wrong, you are basically saying that theoretically Derby County should beat a ten man Inter Milan side, and if they do not, it is deemed a failure?

Oh, and another little fact for you about the whole rotation balls you keep going on about. Torres has only been rested twice this season when he has been fit to play, and the last of which was six months ago, a certain Cristiano Ronaldo has been rested more.

no i am not saying derby should, i am saying a team with the skill that liverpool possesses should beat inter with ten men, no excuses. If they had not won that game, both of them because inter was down to ten men twice, it would have been a complete embarrassment and you know it.

and wow you named one player, what about games where crouch, pennant, riise, carragher or even stevie g hasn't started for no real season...

Well seeing as Liverpool are playing 4-2-3-1 with Torres as a lone striker up front and (normally) Babel, Gerrard and Kuyt playing off him and on the wings, Crouch can hardly start every game...otherwise people would moan about Torres being rested. It just goes round in circles really.

Riise has been poor this season, and Aurelio is much better. Carragher I believe has played more or less every minute of our season I believe. Maybe Pennant should play more often, but our formation is working well at the moment and we have a balanced team, if we changed it we would only draw more critisism. As I said, it works in circles.

Now about that family rajput...

Liverpool won 2-1!

Ronaldo broke Pride Park hearts as Derby went down to a late goal and lost 1-0! I salute Derby! What a match! They only need a goal scorer and they would have won it!

Derby have pretty much lacked that all season a goal scorer that is, Kenny Miller is good but not that good.

Pomepy beat Aston Villa 2 - 0

Muntari and Melberg got sent off due to second yellows. Defore scored again! Baros sounds lively and caused problems. Hopefully we can buy him and pair him up with Defoe and Kanu.

I really think this could be Pompeys year! FA Cup and a good table finish.

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

      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"

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

      By Yogurth · Posted

      The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
