HMMM....

We got the liverfail and real madrid game live here instead of Chelsea's :(....

I don't understand this post? You are joint second in the league...? Whutttt?

It appears Liverpool are going through with help from the ref, giving free kicks with no contact, not giving free kicks when there is and apparently the top of the shoulder is now hand ball!

I think I might write a letter complaint to UEFA. How dare we score five illegitimate goals against Real Madrid! Scandalous!

Liverpool won't be tired and they will be fresh as fish for their nightmare on saturday afternoon ;)

Lets hope not mate ;)

Glad I am not the only one who publicly dislikes their fans. I've gotten **** talked to me for years on neowin because I am a Chelsea supporter :p

You've been active in The Sporting Arena for about two months. Get over yourself. Maybe if you stop going "Well Liverfail sux and so does Man Utd and the Arsenals lol lol lulz", and actually put forward some sensible arguments that don't make you look about eight years old, you will make some friends. I've personally made some great friends in The Sporting Arena over the years.

And how about Munich??! 7-1!! 12-1 on aggregate.. :omg:

Agreed. Simply amazing that :yes:

Ah other people on your account? Pretty sure that's against the rules.

Maybe you should PM a mod and see if it is. I'm sure I read somewhere in the rules "#27 - Other people adding stupid lines to your post when original member goes to the toilet to release his bladder after a great night due to sporting reasons and on the ale = instant ban".

The point of the post was to show an Arsenal fan. Not you.

2 months? Clearly your sense of memory is as horrid as your personality. I respect Man utd and their fans.

Get real kid.

There are maybe a fault on the first Liverpool goal, but what did Cannavaro amazes me all the time I see it. It certainly is one of the worst defensive mouvement I ever saw. It's hilarious. And this guy won the Ballon D'Or... :wacko:

Tonight it's gonna be pretty serious at The Theatre Of Dreams but we got what it takes to put Moutinho back to his Calcio. And, as a french, I hope Lyon will beat Barcelone but to be truthfull I have doubts. Benzema will not be at his best and Iniesta is back in the middle, and we all know how great passer he is.

I can't believe the starting formation and lineup :angry: Why didn't Eduardo and Walcott start?!!

and why only 1 forward? We should've gone for it from the whistle and scored 1 and killed the game.. now we must come from behind to score :hmmm: and horrible defending for letting in that goal..

Almost had the box of Kleenex ready for Kralik ;)... So much for my Riise revenge idea!

lol.. except I never cried or cry after a match :p coz I know we are good enough to go even further next year :) but it was a close shave.. :s what was Wenger thinking not selecting the best 11??!?

How can someone in his right mind prefer Eboue and Bendtner over Walcott and Eduardo? His selection almost cost us the game.. but all's well that end's well :D and its EPL 4 - Serie A/La Liga 0 in our head to head games.. bring on the draws on friday :p I hope all English teams avoid each other and meet in the semis ;)

And dumping Song for Denilson after he had an excellent game..

Oh yeah.. that too.. Good spot! I missed it..

In related news..

An Arsenal fan has been stabbed in the leg after being attacked by a group of Roma ultras as he made his way to the Olimpico on Wednesday night.

The Guardian reports a group of Roma fans ambushed a mini bus taking Arsenal fans to the match against the Giallorossi at around 19:00 last night.

It is believed the group of attackers began kicking the vehicle before smashing windows with stones and other objects. It is not clear as to whether the injured fan was stabbed by a Roma thug or injured by broken glass after windows were smashed.

A spokesman for the British embassy told the Guardian, "Roma fans entered the bus and the Arsenal fan was either stabbed or injured by broken glass when a window of the minibus was smashed."

The police were quick to arrive on the scene and a man has been arrested in connection with the incident. The rest of the Arsenal group were escorted by the authorities and it is believed there were no further injuries to the fans.

The stabbed fan was taken to hospital and treated for his injuries. He was later released and was able to watch the game in the stadium.

It is believed another fight took place involving other Arsenal and Roma supporters. Two English fans suffered various injuries.

:crazy: UEFA should punish them!

Mark Mills was travelling on the bus that was attacked by the ultras. "It was a full sized coach [that we were travelling on] and we arrived at the meeting place early,” he told Sky Sports.

"Police and stewards spoke to the driver and about half a mile away from the ground, a car pulled up in front of us. We were eventually attacked from both sides.

"A flare was thrown inside the bus, windows were smashed, people came in with bottles, a thunder flash went off, there were knives... it was only the people at front who could try to keep them off.

"It happened in such a short space of time. It felt like an age but was perhaps just three to five minutes. There were no police for a while but the riot police eventually arrived.

"The driver ran off and when it was finished he ran back and cried his eyes out saying his bus had been smashed to pieces. It was one of the people at the front [of the bus] trying to keep the [hooligans] away that got stabbed in the leg.”

Regarding whether Italy's capital city would be a fitting venue for the Champions League final in just two months time, Mills replied with a swift "no".

He continued, "They do not deserve to host the final because they cannot control these people. There is nothing but trouble."

A spokesperson for Arsenal said, "A male Arsenal fan was believed to have been stabbed outside the stadium.

"Roma fans threw stones at a bus, smashing windows, and an individual allegedly entered the bus and stabbed a fan."

This is the third instalment of violence against English fans in the space of less than three years.

A group of 16 Manchester United fans were stabbed near the Stadio Olimpico in 2007.

Rome should be banned from hosting any UEFA games for 5 years!

roma fans are crazy... i saw the football factory episode on them, they have to be one of the worst.. and this coming from a scouser

but speaking of hooligans...

REPORT: INTER MILAN MANAGER MOURINHO ACCUSED OF ASSAULT

LONDON - Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho is under investigation for allegedly punching a fan after his team's Champions League loss to Manchester United.

Inter denied Mourinho was involved in any altercation.

Manchester Police said Thursday they were investigating a 46-year-old man in connection with a ''very minor assault'' at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

A police official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with policy of not publicly naming suspects, confirmed the man under investigation was the 46-year-old Portuguese coach.

The alleged incident took place near the Inter team bus as the team was leaving the stadium.

''The investigation is at a very early stage and nobody has been arrested so far,'' the police statement said.

Manchester United confirmed an incident had taken place and that police were involved, but said it would make no further comment.

Mourinho and the Inter team returned to Milan early Thursday morning.

Inter said Mourinho was not involved in any altercation and that he boarded Inter's bus immediately after exiting the stadium, the ANSA news agency reported.

Mourinho's team was eliminated from the Champions League by an aggregate score of 2-0. After a scoreless draw in the first leg in Milan two weeks ago, Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo scored for United on Wednesday as the Red Devils reached the quarter-finals.

Mourinho, who had previously lost just once in 13 matches against United with FC Porto and Chelsea, responded to hostile questions by Italian journalists after the match.

''No one should be negative about my team's display,'' he said. ''If anyone wants to criticize my team they will have to fight with me.''

Mourinho won the Champions League with FC Porto in 2004 and guided Chelsea to two Premier League titles.

Inter holds a seven-point lead over Juventus in the Italian league title race.

How can someone in his right mind prefer Eboue and Bendtner over Walcott and Eduardo?

I think it was simply down to fitness levels mate.

Anyways..

Milan general manager Adriano Galliani warned yesterday that the current economic climate will not allow the Rossoneri to splash out in the transfer market next summer. La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that coach Carlo Ancelotti could slam the door on the club and join Real Madrid if the squad is not to be strengthened adequately.

It is suggested that the tactician has set his sights on two big signings; one to bolster his ageing defensive line and the other to add more fire power to his attack.

Chelsea central defender Alex is believed to be his primary target for the rearguard, whereas Barcelona hitman Samuel Eto?o and Arsenal star Emanuel Adebayor are the hottest names for the front line.

Ancelotti is confident that Milan would be competitive in both Italy and Europe with these two additions but he is unwilling to compromise and could resign from his position if his transfer demands are scrapped.

    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
