I love Torres and loved how Liverpool played this weekend, I'm not saying we played our greatest it was just nice to see their passion for the game even with Stevie out. Portsmouth played really well, but Liverpool just didn't give up. By far the best game of the weekend and thank god no one got injured ...get better soon Stevie G we need you

I heard a couple of rumours..

One involved Sven taking over at Pompey.. and the other was they might find someone to fill in till summer and then go for Mourinho..

Adams had to try and pick up the pieces from Redknapp leaving, Harry didn't leave the squad in a good state, then as soon as Spurs came sniffing with some money which he could spend he was off like a shot.

Seems hard to sack him after the Liverpool match, even in a normal season we would have expected a loss.

If we get anyone in, I'd like to see Avram Grant! He did a pretty good job at Chelsea. I wouldn't be too keen on Alan Curbs, I just feel he lacks a bit of oomph and won't be able to handle or turn around the squad.

Sven? He'd never take over, we've got no money, we could not afford his wages or be able to meet his needs to buys players.

All I can say is: Go Villa go!! :D :D

A real shame that West Ham could not hold United, they deserved a point from the game. :( If Man U don't lose the next one I think it is going to be very hard to stop them from here on in! Thirteen clean sheets now!

I vote you go for Harry Redknapp...he'll be welcome back...right? :p

Probably not, plus things are going to well at Spurs.

And he can't came back and slag the players or previous management off! ?Pretty much all the players we've got he signed!

Exclusing Basinas, Gekis and Pennent. ?Although for me, one Basinas was in the middle, he did do a good job.

I am hearing Scolari has been sacked.

True.

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been dismissed as manager of Chelsea Football Club today (Monday) with immediate effect.

The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager.

Felipe has brought many positives to the club since he joined and we all feel a sense of sadness that our relationship has ended so soon.

Unfortunately the results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season.

In order to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for we felt the only option was to make the change now.

The search for a new manager has already started and we hope to have someone in place as soon as possible.

While that continues Assistant Coach Ray Wilkins will take charge of the team on a temporary basis.

Wow, holy moley, thats huge news. Nice one Rappy. I wouldn't have found this out for ages. Scolari isn't the one to blame, its those players. Chelsea look certain to collapse now. Roman couldn't cough up to boost the squad when he had the chance, and now this has happened. Chelsea have been pretty shocking and just lack that edge, that belief that the Liverpool and United have. It was a train wreck waiting to happen and well it's sad that a man of Scolari's stature and excellence has to be a victim to it. Personally, I think Steve Clark's departure is the main reason why their results have started to crumble and also why Villa are on their tails.

apparently grant is linked to going back to chelsea... what a joke that team is becoming. You fire him because baby terry can't make a penalty shot, and then you hire then fire one of the best internation managers in the world just to hire the guy back who shouldn't have been fired in the first place? The same guy that got the team farther in the champions league then the special one could.

Owner of Chelsea should sell up and go buy Barcelona.

Chelsea are in 4th place due to the players wanting a kings ransom to play for Chelsea.

If Arsenal had purchased Salomon Kalou, then Chelsea would be in even a worse position than they are now.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
