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.

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
