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 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.
