I disagree. He had instructions obviously. Stay in the back and anticipate. I think he did it well.

Frank> I know what you said. But you keep criticizing other teams, and it's boring. Liverpool did a great game, so did Chelsea, but you sound like you're still ****ed off.

Every football fan with a brain knows today football is about money. And without the money (tons of) your team didn't have Torres. And Liverpool is good too at wasting it, remember Robbie Keane ?

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!

Man U aren't the wealthiest of clubs, yes they make more money and are worth more, but that doesn't mean anything in terms of money in the bank. They don't spend the most either (going back a few seasons). The point with Chelsea is that Abromovich came in and spent a hell of a lot of money which Chelsea as a club didn't 'earn'. The wealth of United/Liverpool/Arsenal has come from previous success, attracting big-name players and have lots of fans globally.

Liverpool are a frontrunning team, and always have been. Chelsea where not a frontrunning team before red rom's millions came to their aid.

The result of the game was a disappointment but no, I am not p*ssed off. And all teams waste money, just look at what a waste of space Shevchenko was, but you won't know how players fit in if you don't buy them and Keane always performed well whilst he was at Tottenham.

Exactly, they couldn't know before the buy.

And of course, nothing compare to Shevchenko. He was more expensive and Chelsea (and some other things) managed to break all his football. One of the biggest wast ever, we both agree on that.

They have a big hand in the destiny of all 3 title United are still in the run in for. The CL of course, Liverpool and United both have to face Arsenal at home in the League, and United could end up playing United in the FA Cup Final!

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.

If you class directly affected as having a close family member die in the Hillsborough disaster, then I was not 'directly' affected. However, I was affected, there is no denying that.

Apology accepted.

Man U aren't the wealthiest of clubs, yes they make more money and are worth more, but that doesn't mean anything in terms of money in the bank. They don't spend the most either (going back a few seasons). The point with Chelsea is that Abromovich came in and spent a hell of a lot of money which Chelsea as a club didn't 'earn'.

You have hit the nail on the head there.

Man Utd have the 'right' to go out and spend ?30 million each on the likes of Ferdinand, Veron, Rooney and Berbatov. Why? They have earnt that money through previous successes. Chelsea on the other hand were just handed an unlimited warchest, and it looks like Man City will be throwing money around willy nilly in the summer if the Kaka ordeal is anything to go by.

Football finance is pretty important. If 'magical money' just appears in the game it has an influence on all clubs. If Kaka had gone to Man City for ?108 million, then Milan would have bought players with that money, affecting the finance of the game with the end result being that player prices increase leaving the smaller clubs in an even more difficult position.

Inter coach Jose Mourinho has warned Juventus that his side will be heading to Turin to win as he throws down the gauntlet to his bitter rivals.

Despite the 10-point gap separating the two teams, Mourinho is urging his players to rise to the challenge of beating Juve on their own turf to all but lift the Scudetto.

"We want to win. We will not go there to play for the draw," Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia.

"I want to try and win even if we can go on the pitch for two results. I would prefer to be the Italian champions with a 13-point advantage rather than one.

"We are first because we are stronger than the rest and we deserve to win the title."

Juventus ace Alessandro Del Piero tried to stir up the rivalry when he said his side have nothing to envy about the Nerazzurri. Mourinho has failed to see fit with that notion as he responds to the Italian.

"Del Piero should envy Inter for the 10-point gap we have over his side. He is right to speak about his past. He has done everything at Juve, just a shame he hasn't won the Ballon d'Or."

:D didn't know where else to post this.. lol.. I love this guy!! and he's at his mind games again.. EPL misses Mourinho but seems he might be heading over soon.. Sir Alex also hinted that its possible in a season or two..

You just get the feeling Wenger needs a change of club. He's done pretty well at Arsenal over the years, but you look at the time and most of the time you laugh. Some good players but the way they play at times is odd and Wenger doesn't help with very odd tatics.

I mean you'd thought he'd have Van Persie, Andry and Ady on at the same time and whats up with almunia?

LOL BBC quoted me on a match article

606: DEBATE

As I've said many times before, Younes Kaboul is not so good when plonked straight into the team, but after a run he seems pretty good

I should complain, it's Cowplain not CowPlain

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
