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.

I missed the game today coz of work :( heard a bit on the radio driving back.. 3-1 sounds convincing.. will be waiting anxiously for MotD..

Thank you Spurs!!! Thats 2 weeks in the row you've helped us stay in top 4 :p

Will be hoping Liverpool brings it on against Villa.. you never know with the Reds :s

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:

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 :) )

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.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
