Back, been out of town for a few days.... Saw both games though. We did a superb job defending and we did what we had to do.... I agree that the atmosphere was amazing and hopefully we can produce something offensively at the bridge.

Man Utd and Arsenal was a bore fest.... Who else thinks its funny that fergie hasnt started his "star 4" together =P

I am quite letdown by Arsenal's performance... So few shots on goal.

+1 I can't understand what greater incentive can there be than being in that semi final and having a shot at the biggest trophy perhaps in club football in the world. the performance was uninspired..

Utd are in a stronger position now.. all they have to do is sit back and get a clean sheet.. all pressure is on us..

i hate to burst everyone's bubble and kill their dreams but ill go ahead and say it on the record...it will be another chealsea/man u final

the fact of the matter is arsenal is 2nd rate and doesn't stand a chance after that showing, and if barca doesn't fancy scoring at home with all that possession they won't do it at Stamford bridge. taken down in the same fashion man u did last year.

Yes it was, but my god please don't defend Chelsea vs Barcelona as "exciting" or something. That game was absolutely dire as well.

Probably be Man Utd vs Chelsea final. Or Man Utd Barcelona, with no away goal for Arsenal it's going to be tough.

These have probably been the worst Semi Final's I can ever remember.

What annoys me though is the British commentators try and mask it all to the viewers. A number of times the game yesterday was referred to as a "brilliant" and "scintillating" game. Was it balls, I was bored off my ######. Another thing that annoyed me is that they also kept saying how Arsenal can walk away from Old Trafford happy that the score is 1-0. Why would they be happy? They lost the game without scoring an away goal, something which you would imagine Man Utd will do at the Emirates.

God what a crap game for us last night. 1 shot on target :( we need Arshavin for champs league. At least the 2nd leg Ferdinand might not be playing so their central defense will be slightly weakened. We seemed to keep going straight into Vidic and Ferdinand because Walcott didn't get a chance to play wide because of Rooney, Tevez and Evra hounding him constantly.

They were going with the "happy it's only 1-0" because Tevez / Ronaldo should have both scored so a 3-0 score line was easily possible. On paper a 1-0 defeat isn't that good for a 1st leg, but when it could have been 2 or 3-0 then it is a 'good' result.

I expect us to get an away goal in the second leg which means we can afford to concede twice. As games between the top 4 are usually tight in terms of goal difference, we should go through. Hopefully Fergie will see how easy it is to control a game when both Rooney and Tevez are playing and keep them both in the team for the 2nd leg.

Almunia was awesome! Only one save out of all them was based on luck. Everything else was pure skill.

Thing is though, Chelsea can't play defensively on their own ground, they will have to try and win the game, and that is where Barcelona become really dangerous (unless of course they play for penalties, which I doubt will happen).

Yes, Chelsea are a reasonably good side, but Barcelona possess the attacking power to rip even the best defenses to shreds.

Arsenal have thrown this away, stupid free plastic flag waving idiots.

The Ronaldo free kick wasn't spectacular, Almunia (England's number 1, apparently) could and should have saved it.

What do you have against the flags! :rofl:

It was a decent hit and Almunia just didn't seem to pick up the pace of the ball. It didn't change direction so much and he just didn't dive quick enough at it almost in slow motion. We just need Anderson to score his first now :p

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
