modern is the key word rappy you nub stick...

thats like calling the Bills(NFL) good now and they havent produced in 15 years...

Yeah I know :p, they haven't won the EPL but people or Liverpool fans will always say that those 18 makes then the most successful team in England.

Nice modern EPL trophy there bud ;)... oh wait LOL.

Boy are the pedestals high for liverpool fans... I wouldn't call them the most successful English team. That would have to go to Man Utd.

aka high pedestals ;). Get with the times people!

Stop being so ignorant.

18 league titles, 5 European Cups. We are the most successful team in English history. Fact.

Or did football only start in 1992 when Sky decided to rape football for all it is worth?

Although I guess you don't really care, I doubt you followed Chelsea before Ambromovich waved his magic wand.

How about you and every other Liverpool fan stop being so naive in saying you deserved that draw. It's pretty hilarious.

PS- I don't hate anyone, just your terrible philosophies and football team :)!

The fact you cannot even counter any of my points unfortunately says it all.

If you read up, I never actually said we deserved a draw against Atleti, but seeing as we are on the subject...I think we deserved something out of the game, just like we did against Spurs. Alas, that is football.

i never said that, i thanked the refs for the point...

Chelsea are epic fail. I am an Arsenal fan and watching the Liverpool game they deserved a goal, the handball didn't give them a penalty so the one at the end was just making it even ;)

Last night for us was so painful though, we just couldn't finish and Van Persie just looked stressed out and wasn't getting the touches he usually has. We needed Adebayor last night that's for sure.

Fortunately my bskyb LNB decided to pack in at 19:00 yesterday and I missed watching Arsenal on sports xtra (It was such a poor game by all accounts).

I did see this morning RVP knocking one over the bar on terrestrial tv.

His left foot is too good for football.

Any other player and that would have gone in.

Wenger should have made sure that Arsenal's defence was bolstered since 2004 season, that we had two new strikers, Andy Johnson being one of them

and the purchase of Alonso, Barry, Agbonlahor and also Cole from West Ham.

I am sick of hearing how the average age is 20, they are getting experience, how this team in 3 years will be world beaters and how they play football

the right way.

I want a 1-0 win and I don't care how we do it.

TYVM

Too many games in a such a short period of time. The guys looked exhausted.. especially in the second half. I like Sir Alex's suggestion of spreading the games and ending the season in last week of May instead of mid May.. Other than that I've said many times and this won't be the last... We lack size, experience and range..

Arsene MUST buy this winter!!!!

Ars?ne Wenger believes the tough Premier League programme hampered all four English sides in the Champions League this week.

This country is arguably the strongest in Europe right now. England provided three of the four Semi-Finalists in the Champions League last term and the quartet of domestic teams have all made strong starts in their groups this season.

At least, Arsenal’s draw was a general improvement on the unsatisfactory point with Tottenham last Wednesday and the defeat to Stoke on Saturday.

“I feel we have played three different games,” continued Wenger.

“We had a big disappointment last week. We played an outstanding game last Wednesday but we still dropped points and then we had a little hangover against Stoke when we lost the game.

“But I watched Liverpool last night and they drew, I’m not really sure how. Chelsea were not sharp physically and we were not sharp physically. I don’t know how Man United played.

“But it looks as though, because the Premier League is very demanding, if you have a Champions League week afterwards it is difficult physically.”

Point to be noted:oo

"I don’t know how Man United played."

and we are supposed to play them in 2 days time!!

In fairness Gregbobwhatever, you can't really post them images when I can just grab this one...

Have you only followed football for the last year :laugh:?

i love that picture... captain amazing with the son of liverpool. In the greatest single game comeback in sports history, awesome pic.

Luiz Felipe Scolari, the London club's manager, was furious that his side couldn't do the job in France, and admitted he could leave Stamford Bridge if they slip up against the Romanian minnows.

"We need to win against Cluj at home," the Brazilian said in the Daily Mail. "If I think my team didn't have the quality to beat them at home it would be better for me to go home to Brazil and stay there.

"We've missed the chance to qualify twice now. We need to think about this, not just now and next week. We have to think why.

"With these players, Chelsea have a 75 per cent chance of winning the game at home against Cluj. In my view we are not first in the group. When we began the Champions League I didn't think about second place, I thought I had the players to win the group. Now we need to think only about qualification."

Chelsea will be without Frank Lampard for that vital encounter, as the England midfielder was sent off against Bordeaux after receiving two yellow cards.

Pompey were just done over. AC second goal was fair. But they should have never got the first which came from a free kick.

Ronaldinho clearly dived when Johnson got his foot on the ball. I feel really gutted. It just seems we have tons of quality but not enough luck!

AC may have hit the bar, but you need to work harder to get the ball in the net. I felt AC tatics were poor. The free kick was just wrong. I don't know if I feel more angry at the ref or the state of football.

It seems you have to do a lot of things before a ruling body does something. Like cards, they don't wish to budge on them.

It's seems with football clubs and ruling bodies like us against them.

Then they put refs like Stuart Attwell in the top league. You might be able to do that in Rugby, but not in football!

Sporting Lisbon v Bayern Munich

Atletico Madrid v FC Porto

Lyon v Barcelona

Real Madrid v Liverpool

Arsenal v AS Roma

Inter Milan v Manchester United

2008/09 UEFA Champions League

First knockout round – to be played 24 February and 11 March

:D Its not a bad draw for us (Arsenal)

Good luck to Chelsea and Liverpool though :p

and Fergie meets Jose again.. im just glad Jose Mourinho will be coming to England.. would've been better had he drawn Chelsea.. I think Inter would've destroyed Chelsea then coz Mourinho knows all their weaknesses..

And they say it's not rigged :laugh: Fergie vs Jose, should be an awesome game!

Tough draw for Liverpool but I think they can take Real over two legs. Arsenal have been fairly erratic so far this season but I still think they'll overcome Roma. I think Chelsea have got it tough too against Juventus, I can see Juventus winning that one

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
