it wasn't *just* socks now was it? Either way throwing physical objects is fine yet simple cheering isn't?

Where did I say cheering was wrong? People can sing or do whatever they want at matches as far as I am concerned, I just said that I have never heard Everton as loud as that when Gerrard was taken off, it was like they'd won the league.

You're always going to get one or two ***** at the game to be honest, I think someone threw a bottle but other than that it was just socks everywhere.

It will be a rough road with Gerrard out of play because hes more than a captain on the field, HES EVERYWHERE lol but we have strong players on Liverpool I think we can still play well but certain players have to step up. Riera and Babel have to come in and play epic!! Kuyt,Benayoun and Alonso can do it but everyone has to play well. COME ON LIVERPOOL WE CAN DO THIS

Mate, you have Harry Redknapp in charge of your team.

What's that got to do with anything?

Was referring to Benitez' gamble at leaving Torres and Kuyt on the bench, and still winning....

Old Cod Face is doing a decent job anyway imo. We only had two points from eight games when he joined, remember.

You're hyper sensitive about football banter sometimes mate.

And we only had two points from eight games.

I thought you were having a pop at Rafa, sorry :p

It just ****es me off the way the media were rubbing their hands with glee today at the prospect of an upset. What team could we have put out? Torres could hardly run at the end of the derby on Wednesday, and Alonso had a knock on his ankle. The coverage today on Setanta was cringe worthy and really annoyed me and some fellow Reds.

Plus, I don't like Harry Redknapp that much. Did you see that little flowchart that was going around the net about him? It was so true.

Anyway, you pleased to have Keane back?

3 West Ham players in the England Squad :p

I have to be honest tho Carlton Cole is crap I really don't know how he got there but lets hope he does the business tomorrow.

3 more than us :p

I think Villa have 6 in the squad, which is a crazy amount for one team. O'Neill seems to be building an exciting team at Villa, who are getting the results and a fair few of his players are English.

The liverpool match anoyed me.

The backpass is a stupid f'ing rule. I thought someone was offside in the build up to the third goal.

God, we get 2 goals and we still can't win.

Distin you are costing us points! Why didn't anyone come and help Crouch out?

It was a good game of football, and was full of mistakes.

Nugent was offside for your first, Babel was onside for his bad miss (the referee had his flag up), Aurelio never fouled which led to your second goal, Reina should have easily saved your two goals as well.

And then obviously came the mistakes from Pompey!

On another note, any team that has gone 1-0 up against us in the league this season, has not beat us, which is a nice statistic.

Why the hell didn't we play Arshavin today? It's just as I said before.. Wenger is playing Song, Denilson, Bendtner ahead of him.. :angry: We should've beaten Spurs today.. we were the better team by a mile and then some.. Wenger's decisions are far from my understanding.. whatever he sees in Song, Denilson, Bendtner.. I can't see to be honest and how he fails to see Vela and Arshavin's quality baffles me.. I'm absolutely gutted.. :angry:

Eboue.. one word.. IDIOT.. after the first yellow he should've been more careful.. Why not play Wilshere for a game or two on the wing and form a firing squad especially for Eboue? But again.. Wenger should seriously consider retirement.. how can you have players of the quality of Arshavin, Eduardo and Ramsey on the bench and you still play Eboue, Denilson, Song (although he had a decent game) and Bendter ahead of them????!?? And that too in a derby match?!!!

Yeah eboue is a complete idiot. God damn him, we had to run around the pitch for the rest of the game. Arshavin hasn't played for a couple of months so not a good idea to put him on plus it's better to welcome him at home :)

I'm not saying Arshavin should've started the game.. I'm saying Wenger should've given him a go.. as well as Eduardo, Ramsey and Vela.. and what's with the disallowed goal?!??

I know the FA wants everyone to respect the referees and all but in almost every game we see wrong and objectionable decisions.. why can't we have replays in football, even if its only for the referees??

We did the job, we won. What can I say more, it was a very poor game. Giggs scored for the first time this season. Very nice goal by the way.

I enjoyed more watching Spurs against Arsenal, and it was ****ty too. :D

    • 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.
