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.

The text is in french and it is ?ber funny if you understand it.

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.

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

    • 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.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. 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. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more.
