Portsmouth vs Man City called off due to a frozen pitch. I would've thought under-soil heating would stop that happening?

Yeah I was quite amazed a premier game is called off.

Good draw from us today, we could of won it but heh a draw is still good for us :p

Haha Fergie puts out the bait and now it's Rafa's turn to take it. Who will it be next time, Scolari? Wenger?

Suckers.

Na.. he wont do it again.. Rafa shoved it up his *** pretty good this time..

He won't do it to Wenger anyway.. those two are buddies.. also Arsenal is not that high up the table this season.. :/

Good result for us too.. it was a good goal.. some of Bendtner's sins are forgiven now.. Stoke holding 'Pool so far.. hoping it would stay like this or Stoke will do something better :p

Yes under soil heating would solve it. ?However, Fratton Park doesn't have any!

They had brought in some heat gens and some covers, yet it was still frozen. ?The temp was about -7

Since Pompey doesn't have under soil heating, then why the hell have we got a bulge in the pitch ! ?

I thought after these years we would have improved the pitch, it's not like we've not got room, we've just got to dig?down, even installing the control?room?shouldn't?be?a?problem, put?it under the pitch.

Nooooo Liverpool messed up again! I can't believe this! Why is Stoke such a thorn in our side.

That first half lineup was a JOKE. What was Benitez thinking only having Kuyt and Gerrard up top with no Keane or Torres!?!?!

Lucas is also a waste of space. We missed Xabi Alonso today.

Well that Liverpool draw will definitely make the United game much more interesting. Chelsea can go within 1 point of the leaders if they win and if we win, we could close the gap to 5 points with 2 games in hand! Certainly, everyone thinks it'll be a draw and a bit of a dry affair but I'm thinking it'll be open with many talking points and goals. Neither team can really afford to lose this so I predict a high score draw. 2-2. Come on United!

Speaking to the club’s official website, he(Rafa) said, “If Mr Ferguson would stop talking about Liverpool maybe it would be good. He is clearly nervous about Liverpool.”

Benitez was speaking after watching his side slump to a goalless draw against strugglers Stoke City, and the Spaniard insisted he had received a lot of his support following his press conference on Friday.

“I can tell you that a lot of people have sent a lot of messages - not to me but to my staff and a lot of people at the club - to say, 'At least one person has said something everybody wanted to say,’” he explained.

“Maybe because in 20 years nobody could say these things and maybe a lot of people were thinking the same but didn't want to say.”

Yet despite his current stance towards Ferguson, the Liverpool boss revealed he has plenty of respect for Sir Alex.

He said, “I have a lot of respect for him. He is a great manager but he was talking too much about Liverpool, so clearly he has to stop.

"My concern now is to prepare the team for the next game against Everton and that's it. I always say we take things one game at a time - that is my philosophy and my idea.”

Suckers.

Hardly. Rafa issued a calm and calculated response, and only did so when he was asked about Ferguson's comments. Did he start fuming and go off on one like Kevin Keegan once did (you know, the "I'd LOVE IT! LOVE IT" one)?

Fergie issued his own response to Rafa's comments, so you could also say he is the one taking the bait.

Zenit reject Gunners bid

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_4779599,00.html

EDIT: Ah crap, meant to post this in the Transfer Thread...

Reason Zenit reject our bid, is because like 99.9% of all professional clubs transfers for amounts over ?3,000,000

are usually paid in installments.

Zenit want ?20,000,000 in cash.

No club can cough up ?20,000,000 in cash like that.

Are you sure you don't? I've always thought it was a PL requirement for grounds to have it.

As for the game today, Ronny should have had 2 goals, the one from the perfectly valid corner and the one where he was called offside but wasn't, Chelsea were poor either way you look at it. I could have played in goal and we still would hav:pwon 3-0 :p

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
