oh dear Man Utd you need to win those games (and pref every game)!

Yeah :unsure: Not the best of nights for us. Seems like we're missing Ronaldo already. Struggled a bit against Birmingham and beaten by Burnley. Things better pick up sharpish!

No kidding. Just watched it on MOTD, and Burnley where nothing short of heroic. Wonderful winning goal, and the keeper was outstanding, he deserves a whole season's worth of wages as bonus for his performance in that match.

Shock result, but yeah i'd agree that Ronaldo is being missed. It is in those kind of matches that his influence really told.

Was also really impressed with Johnson today, his attacking play is adding an extra attacking dimension to Liverpool. Great skill, and provides the width sorely needed. Could well prove the difference this year, as long as the core of the first team can stay fit most of the time, and Rafa finally appears to have gotten his head around the fact that starting with Benayoun ahead of Babel is a winning move.

Far better performance, and more importantly the points where wrapped up in the kind of game that we dropped points in last season, but squad reinforcement is needed.

However, for me, last season's top 3 all need to raise their game somewhat.

I was actually joking when I said that, it is a sign of a good team being able to grind out a 1-0 win when not playing well.

Besides, I watched the re-run, and I don't consider Burnley lucky. Sure they rode by the seat of their pants a little bit, but most of the time it was good defending and goalkeeping that snuffed united's threats out, not luck like shots hitting the frame of the goal, bad refereeing ETC. United where awful, they got royally humbled, and their fans just can't swallow it. Makes me chuckle to myself now, when I think back to late march / early april just before the 1-4 Liverpool humiliation, when their fans where blabbering on full of unflappable arrogance about how they where invincible, the best team in the world ETC.

You watch the re-run, I watch the entire game. And I still think Burnley was lucky. They scored one goal and stayed in defense the rest of the game. This time it worked, because, yes, we were bad (and we missed a penalty...) but it won't work every time. I don't think we're invicible, nobody is, but I do think we are far better than what we showed wenesday.

Well, I didn't see the game coz I was too busy the whole day. But I don't see from what you said how Burnley was lucky? They scored one and then went on defence.. to me thats called strategy not luck.. they then defended so well that Man U attack which is poor without Ronaldo and Tevez could not break them down.. you say yourself their strategy worked coz Utd were bad.. so they were lucky that to be playing a bad team?

Ahem.. we were invincible for that amazing season.. and I'd love to go to OT when Utd is in this kind of form and we are looking very good so far..

Why is it that Man united fans can never just accept that they got beat fair and square. Always some excuse.

Why can't other fans admit that united always started slow, so this isn't a shock, and that they will like always probably end up winning the title anyway?

We are missing those 5 goals a season from ?25m man tevez, who has been on one hell of a hot streak for man city....

I thought Park did quite well in going missing during these rubbish games against 11 men behind the ball, the same way Ronaldo always did.

The only place we'll miss him is in the big games where he wanted to perform, such as europe against Arsenal, Burnely was the type of game he'd go missing in constently being clipped by tight marking.

They got lucky cause they scored the first and only time (I think it's the only one) they came in our 16 metres.

So basically when a team plays defensively and wins, it's luck? Newsflash: Small teams almost always use that tactic against big teams. Still, love the excuses (Y)

So that's Fulham, Chelsea, Arsenal and now Manchester United that Burnley have all beaten inside of a year so er where does the luck come into it? I love it when the small sides in the Prem beat the big boys then all the excuses come out either they had injuries (no one else has those) or they didn't have some player cause they sold them (big deal get over it, it's not the small teams fault you've not replaced them).

Just admit you got beaten by a better team if you don't believe Burnley were the better team then go and have another look at the scoreline.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
