That was an absolutely insane game of football!!! :D

4-4.. could've gone either way till the last sec.. when we went down 2-1 I tht thats it.. but Russian Pele had other ideas.. makes AW looks even more stupid now for not starting him against Chelsea.. hope we do the same to Chelsea and Man U where ever and whenever we meet them this year.. but only with a clean sheet :p

Good game by both teams (Y)

Would you rather me say: "I feel like rolling my eyes at that post, so there!?". Sorry, I'd rather use the emotes that are there for that reason.

News flash dude, I've argued/had great convos with Liverpool/football fans for years on this forum. I don't have to say anything to you.

The Arsenal game last night sure was a cracker. It was a brilliant free flowing game of football, perhaps good for the neutrals but not for my heart.

The pace of Walcott and Arshavin leading up to Arsenal's 4th was unbelievable. If I pushed my granny off a cliff she wouldn't go that fast.

You haven't though have you :laugh:

Great game for us :) We should have won it at 3-2 or 4-3 but we have a weakened back 4 and Fabianski doesn't have the experience, brilliant in the 1st half but lost it in the second half as usual. In a kind of weird way I didn't want a result from the game before hand as I'd rather Liverpool do the league than scummy Chelsea with no history or Scum Utd but once the game was on it was there for the winning!

You must have been watching a different game to the rest of us because Liverpool fully deserved and should of won the match. It could of been 8-4 easily but Fabianski pulled off some good saves.

Stats show Liverpool had 15 shots on target while Arsenal had 4.....which is the goals they scored.

Liverpool also had 12 Corners to Arsenal's....0 so the match was dominated by Liverpool only for careless defending really which gifted Arshavin two easy goals. I would say right time, right place of those goals really and just because he scored 4 goals in a match doesn't make him brilliant.

just because he scored 4 goals in a match doesn't make him brilliant.

I think Arshavin is class to be honest. Some of the technique on those goals of his last night was just brilliant.

A few words of praise should be put Fernando Torres way as well, having missed most of the season through injury he is only two goals behind Anelka in the goal charts.

What I loved most was that it was a clean and fair game.. almost no diving and only 1 yellow card.. thats great to see.. especially after Wembley :wacko:

Torres is class.. I wanted him to join Arsenal when Henry left us and he is showing his class now.. I don't know if he is better that David Vila though coz Vila still hasn't played at a top club while his Euro outing was superb.. Yossi is getting goals too now and thats coming in handy in Stevie G's absence..

I think Man U and Chelsea will win today.. but you never know.. lets go Pompey!! :p

I'd rather have 4 shots on target and 4 goals than 15 shots on target and 4 goals, doesn't that surely show that Arsenal took their opportunities a lot better than Liverpool?

Again, 12 corners and 4 goals, 0 corners and 4 goals :)

4 goals doesn't make him a great player but he is anyways, he proved that before he moved to Arsenal and throughout his time at Zenit and the Euros. He is pure class and it's just a shame we don't have him for champs league. God knows why Wenger didn't start him for the FA Cup game.

But it does show they attacked better than us. It was the finishing (and some good saves from Fabianski) that led them down, which is actually the story of our season really. You have to agree with this though, all the goals yesterday were due to defensive errors.

Ever since I saw Arshavin at the Euros, I thought he was pure class, and couldn't understand why some fans didn't want him! All this while we've been bemoaning we lack a player with experience and when one comes along they moan. 6 goals and 7 assists in 11 games speak for themselves. And he will only get better. It begs an interesting if pointless question: where would we be in the league now had Wenger bought him in the summer?

Pity he wont be there to destroy Man Utd in the UCL.

Man U can really secure the premier league by taking 3 points today, if not i'd take a guess that Chelsea makes a late run and Liverpool falls flat. If it gets closer between Chelsea and Man U there should be a good CL final/ Premier League race going on between them.

Yesterday's match was about as exciting as it gets, Great Game even though the defensive was missing for both sides (or maybe the offense was too strong?)

You haven't though have you :laugh:

Here is a perfect example. Why the hell are you so god damn dense Martyn? Apparently 2006 isn't years ago in Liverfail land.

Congratulations for answering your own question. By the way, 'God' should be capitialised, maybe that is just me being dense though ;)

As for the thread you posted, those were the days, but forgive me, I cannot be assed looking though the whole thread for a post of yours. I do miss the likes of deuz, L3thal and geek_rohit though :(

I don't believe in organized religion. I could careless if it's god or God. By the way, how does improper grammar relate to someone being dense?

Tied today... sigh.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.
