Thank you very much, mate. ;)

No problem, if anyone else wants some stream links give us a PM.

Game of the Year = Spurs vs Arsenal!

Absolutely. Went absolutely mental in the pub when Bentley scored the first one and when we equalised at the end. The pub was pretty evenly spread with Spurs and Arse fans and the shouts and cheers went back and fourth for the whole game.

Honestly one of the best games I have ever seen.

^ was it actually a good game? or just ugly and entertaining?

Fantastic game, for Spurs fans and for Neutrals (and even the Goons until we equalised...)! Arse threw it away though, really, but Spurs did excellently to capitalise on mistakes and scored by far the better goals. Epic game.

Yeah, Spurs were heroic last night. But it's only one game, and one point.

Does anyone seen the Man Utd game ? Berbatov made a brilliant trick for the second goal of Ronaldo. Second half was kind of boring since we already get the result.

Watch out Reds, Devils are after you. ;)

martyn: are liverpool home games sold out in-advanced or for most games are they avaliable at ground or is it impossible to get a ticket?

It is pretty difficult to get a ticket mate.

I think I posted something about getting tickets for LFC a month or so back in this thread, when rajput asked.

Honestly one of the best bits of skill I have ever seen :yes:

Terrible, just terrible, Zola needs to make some major changes, but what is the financial state of our Icelandic "Billionnaire"? Bring back crazy money magnusson! :p

As for Spurs, bloody hell! Superman Harry strikes again!

Saha scored for Everton, to make it 1-0 against Fulham

And that's a very good news for him and for Everton.

Good game for Tigers today but coming to Old Trafford was a bit of a mountain for the team. It's a good warning for us, we must secure the game with a 3 goals lead. No doubt Fergusson will find the words so it won't happen again.

And I hate to see Rooney like that, it's a miracle he had only a yellow card.

Oh, I almost forgot, do I need to tell you that I am so happy Tottenham won ? ;)

No lucky late goals from Liverpool this time :p

@zoom7000 yeah we suck lets not take the fun away from spurs beating liverpool tho :p

You really hate Liverpool don't you? Still I suppose you have to find something to distract you from your own ****ty team.

Spurs were lucky, but oh well. It might give us a kick up the arse.

Spurs were lucky but you should have scored more. In fact, you should have scored more in recent games, a deflected shot and a lucky penalty got you the winners in the 2 previous games. Hell, even your goal yesterday had a deflection :p

Still, was a good day yesterday, got to see arsenal lose the plot again and you lose a game you shouldn't have :D

No Arsenal fans writing here? Reason: We are all gutted at how bad we are playing and how it is getting worse every game. So we are watching the game and Arsenal is 2 goals down to Stoke of all teams.. and my friend (a Chelsea fan) asks me an evil grin.. "Who's Stoke playing against?" (As if he didn't know).. "Arsenal".. I said in a bearly audible voice.. "I think".. :o I couldn't bring myself to belief that it is really Arsenal.. 72% possesion, a man sent off for stupidity and lossing the game!? "Where is my Arsenal?" I said to myself.

The season has just abt reached 1/3rd and we already lost to Hull, Sunderland, Stoke and Spurs (it was a defeat)??! Not long time ago this was unthinkable.. I am sick and tired Mr. Wenger.. Sick of AW spinning at the end of the matches or complaining abt the likes of Blackburn, Stoke and Bolton roughing us up a bit.. Sick of him asking refrees to make sure we are not tackled?! sick of these amazing youngsters doing their best but still not managing to get a result coz they simple are not strong enf physically..

2005 :).. Rem that? That was when we last won a trophy.. and that too on penatlies.. 2005!??! for Christ's sake Wenger! we are sick of hearing abt transitions and money and injuries and being too young.. Whose job is it to fix these things? Not the players certainly.. What are we transtioning to thats taking so long? When will we get the money? Oh we already have that.. but someone wont buy some players coz of God knows what reason.. Why isn't our bench filled with players who can fill in for injured/rested players? Why aren't there experienced players for these kids to look up to?

Henry learnt to be the best from the master.. Bergkamp.. Cole and others learnt to defend from the famous 4 (Adams and Co.).. who is there now to groom these kids.. They have no role models.. van Persie/ Cesc and Ade learnt some things from Henry and it shows but since his depature seems we lost our last true great player and the meaning and pride of being Arsenal..

Wenger is too stubborn to listen to the fans.. Don't get me wrong.. I love Wenger and beautiful game Arsenal has played for years under him.. but we need trophies now.. We need strong players to challenge in set-plays and to score from crosses when these mediocre teams sit back.. we need experienced players to groom the kids and to act as role models for them..

We need Eduardo and Rosicky back.. someone who is not afraid to shoot from range. Will Wenger buy us such players? I doubt it.. but lets wait and see.. We need to get rid of one of our goalies and get a good keeper.. Atleast one proper CB, a physically strong CM like Baptista (whom i still believe we should've held on to) and a striker who can score with his head and not just his feet..

What makes it worse is that Wenger knows this.. That's why he went for Barry and Alonso. That's why he went for Crouch.. but why did he stop after Crouch signed for Pompey?? There are other players who can do this u know.. Owen, Morientes and Trezaguet to name a few.. Why didn't we buy other players of similar qualities? Especially coz we needed them and it was not a luxury..

I believe it still isn't too late to win trophies this season.. BUT ONLY if we buy this winter.. Winning UCL/FA cup will help fans forget the horrible season we are having so far somewhat.. plz Wenger!! BUY experienced, strong players this winter and go all out of CL and FA Cup.. Coz it seems to me that the league is lost.. Let's just try to hold onto to top 4 spot and win some cups..

Very worried abt what's happening.. Where is our invincible Arsenal? Seems we lost a box when we moved from Highbury :(

In Arsene we trust.. still.. but a bit shaky now.

What a game. Despite what pundits on MoTD said, and aside from the Kyut strike, was a pretty even first half.

However the first 15 mins of the second half the Spurs goal was absolutely peppered. We were lucky not to be 3-0 down at least in this period alone, but Liverpool really should have taken their chances. Keano was poor all game and got a spattering of boos - but more applause - from the Spurs fans. Didn't deserve the boos, always gave 120% for us.

The pool fans started a rendition of 'your going down' which was met with cheers and ironic clapping from the Spurs boys just before the equaliser.

After the own-goal equaliser I was praying from like the 70th min onwards for it to be a draw. Then Bentley hit a good strike, parried by Reina, and Bent and Pavvaywhatsit combined to get the winner. Could not believe it.

The fans then sung the 'top of the league, you are having a laugh' to get back at the previous pool jibes. Great comeback, desperately needed 3 points, see ya in 2 weeks in the FA cup (where I am in no doubt the result will be very different).

Sorry Pool Boys:

Lets put it this way I won't be joining the fan club anytime soon :p

Yeah we are really crap I admit we are and even with a new manager we still fail to perform but thats to be expected we will always be a midtable/bottom half team.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
