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.

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
