Happy with that! Spurs have not lost to any of the 'top four' all season, which is pretty impressive really.

Spurs had a lot of good opportunities, especially in the first half and although UTD had a lot of second half possession, they didn't really look like scoring from open play. I said before the game that getting anything out of it would be a result, and I am more than happy with a point. COYS!

I don't think it was handball either, definitely his shoulder. I think Chelsea had a better shout for a pen from the tackle on lampard in the last few mins, he might have gone down pretty easily but there was more intention in the challenge.

I really wish Carlton Cole was a better striker because he could of won the game for us.

That golden chance at the end was really set up to be a dream moment.

Zola's return to the Bridge, and Cole's chance to score the winning goal at the death against the club who trained him as a boy.

He should of buried it, but instead just hit a tame shot at the keeper.

looks like rafa was right that the only way we are going to finish up top is if the other four stumble... thank god they are.

It is a strange league this year. The Premier League is beginning to become more and more unpredicable; teams outside the top four are playing very well this season and obviously the surprise package is Hull.

Liverpool are badly missing Fernando Torres.

yeah they need him badly, but the last game you can't put on his absence. Carragher didn't help, and the first half play was awful. Thank god the hero known as gerrard stepped up and showed why once again he is the skipper.

I honestly think that if we had Fernando against Hull on Sat he would have bagged a few goals. We are missing his clinical finishing and his style of play suits us down to the ground. He plays off the shoulder of the last defender, and his pace, strength and general awesomeness makes him such a danger when you have Gerrard and Alonso pinging balls through to you.

And the league's all the more better for it. Reminds me of La Liga during Capello's Real tenure. The league's (outside the top 4) become more fun. :D

Honestly, I think if Liverpool can keep at the top of the table, they'll probably win the league(unfortunately). Looks like Rafa's finally ditched his rotation policy. Twice now, they've slipped up and the rest of the big 4 kindly obliged them by dropping points themselves.

Chelsea are horrible at home, United can't put the ball in the back of the net, and Arsenal, well it's the same old story with them...

Looking forward to seeing how far Villa progress this season.

Horrible at home? We had a 4 year win streak up until this season... Correct me if I am wrong :p

Well Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith has stepped down from the board.

Which means if she sells her shares, Alisher Usmanov will I have no doubt buy them and you will see the return hopefully

of David Dein.

However I don't want to go down the same roads as Man City, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea.

We work hard to balance the books and then having players demanding huge wages could cause a lot of problems.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
