Likewise. But when I say something to support my club it triggers the rage. Some of the things you Liverpool fans say here is pretty ridiculous. I guess that's all in the game of supporting but in reality I never have a problem getting along with any of your other fans.

Its competitive, and I've asked several times to have productive discussions dating back to 2007. Yet, every time something comes up its bash this and bash that. I however think your run at the CL will be cut short and Man Utd will win it again.

My Family, I was born as a Chelsea fan my friend. Since age 1 I wore Chelsea jerseys and like wise to basketball - Chicago Bulls jersey's. Thanks to my dad! Not to shabby for being an American now is it? Its funny to think I supported my club before you were even born :).

Productive discussion attempt #2: Why are you always down talking other teams than yours? Its pretty evident that you do, and it is the only reason why I say liverfail. I never comment on the Chelski references or anything of that nature... so don't get angry about it. Also, about your comment on "activity in the sporting arena for 2 months" clearly 2007 is 2 months ago right... I guess so :D!

Sabatime, nice to meet you too. Further proving my point that any liverpool supporter is a complete asshat(at least on these forums). I've met a few on irc who have no problem talking productively about our teams.

I wish Liverpool luck this weekend but I don't think its happening.

That is a pretty good effort that you supported Chelsea in the 1980's. Especially good considering there was little to no exposure of 'soccer' (trying to be multi-cultural and talk in your lingo) before 1992 when English football changed and become more commercial both nationally and internationally. My mind does wonder how you followed Chelsea during that time.

Congratulations on being two years older than me, you seem pretty happy about that. You must have lived your life to the MAX during that time to be as brilliant and as awesome as you are.

As for productive discussion attempt #2, maybe you should show me where I am shooting down other teams, I think it is a habit you have as you demonstrated in your next post about how blah blah blah Liverpool won't win the Champions League.

Anyway lad, you need to take a good look at yourself rather that insulting others constantly. What did Sabatime say to deserve being called a 'complete asshat'? No need for that is there?

Zidane names Gerrard as best player in the world

Zinedine Zidane believes Steven Gerrard is the best player in the world.

The legendary former Real Madrid playmaker saw his old club dismantled by Gerrard's Liverpool on Tuesday night, when the Reds ran out 4-0 winners at Anfield, 5-0 on aggregate.

England's midfield star scored two of the goals and ahead of tomorrow's crucial trip to Old Trafford, Zidane has claimed he is a better all-round player than Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, the current holder of the Ballon d'Or.

"Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of (Lionel) Messi and Ronaldo but yes, I think he just might be,'' the former France captain said.

"If you don't have a player like Steven Gerrard, who is the engine room, it can affect the whole team.

"When we were winning league titles and European Cups at Real, I always said Claude Makelele was our most important player.

"There is no way myself, (Luis) Figo or Raul would have been able to do what we did without Claude and the same goes for Liverpool and Gerrard.''

Zidane added: "He has great passing ability, can tackle and scores goals, but most importantly he gives the players around him confidence and belief.

"You can't learn that - players like him are just born with that presence.''

It's kind of hard to follow a sports team when you're an adolescent... You asked me what made me a chelsea fan and I told you. It doesn't matter if it was mainstream or not, The family pictures don't lie. No sense in being multicultural, I can relate to the game as soccer, football, futbol, what ever you prefer. Here we prefer soccer. That's like arguing whether to use u in specific words.... colour, etc...

Are you blind dude?

Martyn keep up the good owning and lets see Liverpool play....

Definitely needed to be addressed which further proved my point. Arguing with you is like the Special Olympics, except I am the only winner. Carry on my patron saint, because surely that is what you are. Maybe I should get out my "wikipedia links" to prove a point to you..:rolleyes: or you might just over look that as well and blame it on some one else :).

So, What made you a liverpool fan?

I'm surprised they promoted you to news staff based on your posts. Congrats though.

It's not based on posts its based on how well you can construct and write an article, nothing is based on your posts when you are promoted.

Nice to see things getting dominated about a certain club by a certain person again, tut.

Anyway, pompey play boro tomorrow, we've got to start picking up wins and tomorrow should be the day!

Still feeling bitter at Harry leaving, we've got to cut costs now, he had brought in players and didn't make much of an effort to get rid of them. People like Traor?(Djimi) and Lauren, he brought players that he didn't really seem to have faith in, Utaka, Mvemba and nugent.

When Diara and Muntari left he didn't seem to make much effort to change the midfield about, all the time saying pompey would be his last job, then zoom off to spurs and already bitched and put a few of the players down.

I also heard Sunderlands craig gordon is no longer first choice, quite a thing to do to a keeper that costs quite a bit

and 4 for us too!!! :D

Arshavin is getting his form back and showing what Russian Pele is all about

and we are starting to get into the top gears just at the right time :)

What we need now is Eduardo, Rosicky, Ade and Fab to come back and we'll be ready to win every game :p

4:0 Arsenal - Blackburn

could have been a lot more if Bendtner knew how to score! :no:

Still a great result...Arshavin getting his first Premier League goal and Eboue scoring twice!

I agree!!! He missed some sitters!! and so did Walcott but at least he created some chances.. Walcott brought the missing cutting edge back to Arsenal :)

mail - being a Manc fan that I guess you are, you will never understand the fact that picture will not matter to a Pool fan at the moment.

The pricelessness of doing the double over you, even after the comments made by Shrek Rooney and the rest before the game, is enough to keep us singing until the end of the season.

So not only did we spank you at Anfield we then proceeded to kick you about on your muck heap......

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
