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!

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

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • 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.
