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.”

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

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +Nik Louch · Posted

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By Yogurth · Posted

      The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

      Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.
