lol @ Man Utd performance.

I missed Rooney's sending off, watch it later tonight on Match of the Day.

I hope big Sir Alex fines the team for that nonsense today.

Before today I was going to change my fantasy league team that has Schwarzer, Konchesky and Murphy as I thought Man Utd would win. Sooooo glad I forgot, have Schwarzer as captain as well :D

Only problem is I have 3 Man Utd players in the team also :( - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=654291

COME ON YOU SPURS!

Truly the one of the best performances I have seen in years from Spurs, looked composed, competent on the ball and hit with pace. Modric and Lennon were superb and Gomes is beginning to show the kind of form that made him a hero at PSV.

Waffer cup is well within the bounds of possibility! Who would have thought it!!!

Did pool a bit of a favour too - definitely mixed it up what with Fulham's win against the Manx.

What a win! Van Persie still could not score for god knows how many games in a row by now.

Great game, great penalty save by Almunia! But terrible moment for Gallas right after we went 1:0 up, let Martins equalize less than a minute later... :no:

Oh well, it's all good in the end.

Walcott is injured again!! :( 3-5 weeks.. can miss the rest of the season.. thats a blow we can't afford especially with Rosicky not returning as well..

Anyways.. just had a look at the league table and noticed there is a bit of the gap opening now between the relegation zone and rest of the league.. not big.. its just 2 points..

West Brom is doomed.. but Boro and New Castle might be able to do something able it yet.. Here are the remaining fixtures for both of them.. on paper it seems very interesting..

Middlesbrough:

Bolton(A)

Hull(H)

Fulham(H)

Arsenal(A)

Man U(H)

New Castle(A)

Villa(H)

West Ham(A)

New Castle:

Chelsea(H)

Stoke(A)

Spurs(H)

Portsmouth(H)

Liverpool(A)

Middlesbrough(H)

Fulham(H)

Villa(A)

Your thoughts?

From the lists you posted, it looks like both clubs have rather difficult fixtures coming up.

If I had to choose who could stay up, I would rather Boro stayed in the Premier League, simply because one of my old housemates is a Boro fan. Middlesborough don't fill out The Riverside well, but they do produce some good English talent, a rare characteristic of top flight teams. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Newcastle, but it would be rather amusing to see such a self proclaimed 'big club' get relegated.

There are still lots of clubs who could still get sucked into a relegation dog fight.

Ow man - just got back from the hospital after popping a lung laughing so much at the Mancs losing again ;)

So Rafas outburst in January has got to rosy nose Fergie then - what a day, just hope Pool can win tomorrow to close the lead and get to 2nd in the league.

Come on you pool, make the mancs crap themselves some more!!

Oooo I would laugh but it hurts so much :D

Got to say its going to be a nail biting end to the season - but the last couple of weeks have been brilliant for the Pool, they have finally started playing extremely well together.

To be honest, I have blasts from the past, they are playing like the Liverpool team of the 80s.

There is no clear winner for the league but I am happy as larry!

Shame that some Villa fans are leaving already, their team may be stuffed but at least they could try to raise them to the game - bad show I say!

Apart from that - gooooo ooooooooon Pooooooooooooooooooool!!

Harsh red card - but I am glad and fingers crossed for number 5!!

Harsh red card - aint that an understatement. Still, if we're gonna get thrashed, I'd rather it be by Liverpool than United (now go and win the bloody league, 'cause you aint getting Barry in the Summer :) )

LOL, was picturing him in a red shirt as well ;)

Lenon is firmly out of the picture as he signed a 2 year contract extension yesterday!!

I didn't know that (about Lenon) - he's a decent enough player, but yeah looks like Benetiz won't be able to spend some of his ?100m (According to the Mirror) on either Lenon or Barry (Fingers crossed - I would hope that he'll appreciate that, if we'd got a stronger squad, we coulda kept up the challenge for 4th).

He he he he :shifty:

They say.. class is permanent.. form is temporary!!

and Arsenal and Liverpool are just proving that and just at the right time :D

Thank you 'Pool!!! We are now safe in 4th place it seems :p

btw what a super 2 weeks its been for Liverpool! Confidence must be beyond the sky at Anfield.. 3 amazing wins + Rafa staying + Stevie G had the case against him dropped!!

5-0. Could be worse ;)

Rafa has 'definitely' cracked up now :cool:

I felt pretty sorry for Friedel when he got sent off. It was really harsh, but I suppose by the laws of the game he had to see red.

It was nice to see he got a standing ovation from both sets of supporters, it is just a shame he will be missing when you play Man Utd next.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
