We do not play at our best tonight, clearly not. But we do the job, and we do it fantasticily sometimes. And also terrible some other time. Porto put quite a pressure on the second leg, it was very tense but we managed to control them. Ferdinand certainly did some good and brought us back the defense quality we had not so long ago. Rooney was very good on the wing and he did well defensively.

Now it's going to be another challenge facing Gunners, they are stronger than ever at this time. Good Job Arsenal tonight.

Well since my boys are out, LETS GO ARSENAL

Normally I would agree, but I want United to play as many games as possible to help us in our league hunt xD

A little piece of me died inside.

Normally I'd never cheer for United but that CL final was an exception. I laughed my nuts off when terry fell flat on his butt and scuffed his pen

Well, it's simple. Since Drogba arrived in Chelsea they won two leagues and gone to the C1 final last year. And one FA Cup and two League Cup. And in one year with Marseille he was in a C3 final. I just assumed he is a more decisive player than Torres. Fernando "just" won one European Cup with Spain. I know it's a big trophy and he was the one who scored in the final. You have to give him some time and maybe he will win something with his club, but as a Man Utd supporter I honestly don't believe it that much. ;)

So you are basing the individual talent of a player on how much their teams do or don't win? What an amusing argument :lol: especially seeing as Chelsea essentially only one anything because of abramovic's millions

That logic is flawed :blink:

One player alone doesn't win trophies.

+1

Excellent gesture that, and greatly appreciated (Y)

Indeed. Nice of the United boys that they have earnt a bit more of my respect (Y)

English teams in the final...

2005 - Liverpool

2006 - Arsenal

2007 - Liverpool

2008 - Man Utd/Chelsea

2009 - Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal

Crazy.

Yeah its amazing, there was one time where no English team could really get to the final it was all madrid.

Indeed. Nice of the United boys that they have earnt a bit more of my respect (Y)

I'm going to stop arguing with you, you just broke all the fun that I had discussing with a Liverpool fan. You are like Martyn, you two can't see clearly outside of your fanboyisme, it's sad. Maybe I had one thought (or a laugh more possibly) for you when we play the semi.

I find this equally amusing:

I suppose United have no money in the bank! I think not, United are the wealthiest club in the world and also use MONEY to buy players as do all the other big clubs!

Quite frankly a ludicrous comparison!

Good wins for Man U and The Arsenal tonight!

Frank was actually saying something nice about your club, as was I before.

What you have just said has really grated on me though. Fanboyism? I'm sitting here having just got through one of the saddest days of my life, having cried my eyes out at the memorial service at Anfield this afternoon along with thousands of others, and now being confronted with Hillsborough all over the telly, Internet and papers. Then there is you, I doubt you could even point out Manchester on a map, never mind having been to a game.

Think about it.

Were you even born when the hillborough disaster happened?

Were you even born when the hillborough disaster happened?

Having seen you have just looked at my profile, you will know that the answer is no.

I fail to see the significance of your post though. Would you care to explain?

People who were born after World War II still come together to remember the dead. Do I have any less right to remember the dead during WWII if I was born in 1950?

People of all ages came to pay their respects at Anfield today. I know people who have seen their best friends die at Hillsborough and lost loved ones.

Only last week I was out in Liverpool with a few friends for a bevvie. We were drinking in the same alehouse as one of my friends dad, I got talking to one of the fellas about the Blackburn match as we were both at the match (I actually go to matches you see), and we got on to talking about the upcoming 20th anniversary of Hillsborough, and he was telling me how he was at Hillsborough but in the main stand rather than The Leppings Lane end, he still cannot talk about it without his eyes welling up with tears.

I know where is Manchester. And Liverpool for that matter. But I'm pretty sure you don't know where is Strasbourg.

And what does Hillsborough have to do in the conversation? :( I never said anything about it. I do respect what happens.

But I'm going to let it go this time, the rivalry between our two clubs isn't over yet. I'll keep pushing it as you will too. ;)

Nice story, however back onto the point fairplay you went to show your respect but "you cried your eyes out"? I don't see the emotional attachment here ... you weren't even born. Do you even go to and furthermore cry at memorial days of 9/11, the major wars, the holocaust etc or do you only value the life of liverpool fans (wouldn't surprise me).

I know Strasbourg is in France, but that is about it. Feel free educate me on your city, I am sure it is a great, and I only want to be friends have banter on here to be honest.

I thought I explained the emotional attachment quite clearly in my last post to be honest.

As for 9/11, if I was directly affected by that awful day I would go to a memorial day for them today respect the dead. I am sure there are many people off Neowin who do so. I also go to memorial days for WWI and WWII, I used to be in the ATC and our squadron used to parade down the road to our local church on Remembrance Sunday. Still, I don't see why I have to justify myself even more to you, I think I have done enough already.

I actually challenge anyone to have gone to Anfield today and not shed a tear or two. I even saw a grown man in an Everton kit crying (it may interest you to know there were lots of Evertonians and Celtic fans present today, I even saw Olympiakos, Middlesborough and Lazio fans...and even saw one lad wearing a Man Utd scarf).

The Hillsborough Disaster was not just limited to Liverpool FC, or even Liverpool. The whole country grieved, and to be honest it could oh so easily be you writing this now, what happened that day could have happened to any football team.

I'm going to stop arguing with you, you just broke all the fun that I had discussing with a Liverpool fan. You are like Martyn, you two can't see clearly outside of your fanboyisme, it's sad. Maybe I had one thought (or a laugh more possibly) for you when we play the semi.

What? seriously, how dense are you, I was trying to pay United a complement here. I see you are french, maybe you need to get a better grasp of the english language before you continue to turn posts into something they are not.

I find this equally amusing:

I suppose United have no money in the bank! I think not, United are the wealthiest club in the world and also use MONEY to buy players as do all the other big clubs!

It is called a typing error. And here is the question I pose to you... Think about it long and hard, what you may find may shock you :o

1: Where where Chelsea before Abramovic came in?

2: Where where they after he came in?

Without his millions they would still be a nothing team, winning the odd FA cup every few years, and every football fan with a brain knows it

Frank was actually saying something nice about your club, as was I before.

What you have just said has really grated on me though. Fanboyism?

Then there is you, I doubt you could even point out Manchester on a map, never mind having been to a game.

Think about it.

At least you understood where I was coming from

Were you even born when the hillborough disaster happened?

What relevance does that have exactly? Hillsborough is an event that has, knowingly or unknowingly had a major effect on every football fan that lives. And unlike United who have the biggest following of glory hunters in the world, Liverpool's fans have a togetherness that is unique, and they are all bonded by the tragedy, whether they where alive for it or not, it is something that affects us all.

Nice story, however back onto the point fairplay you went to show your respect but "you cried your eyes out"? I don't see the emotional attachment here ... you weren't even born. Do you even go to and furthermore cry at memorial days of 9/11, the major wars, the holocaust etc or do you only value the life of liverpool fans (wouldn't surprise me).

Is there something wrong with you? Martyn just happens to feel passionately the sadness felt by all Liverpool fans over the death of the 96. In case you hadn't noticed he is from Liverpool meaning it has a big impact. The way you are reacting here, and lambasting other people says you are the one with emotional detatchment issues, not Martyn. Go away, re-evaluate what is making you such a miserable and heartless person then come back.

I thought I explained the emotional attachment quite clearly in my last post to be honest.

As for 9/11, if I was directly affected by that awful day

You weren't directly affected, don't get me wrong i'm not having a go at you for going to hillsborough moreover you were using it as a excuse in reply to nothuman and if you can't even bear to watch football after the memorial why come in this thread where things were going to be obviously said especially with the ridiculous stuff said by Frank Fontaine. Once again I apologise if you took what I said as an attack at you for going to hillsborough.

    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used.
