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.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."

    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150

      Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor Micro-ATX (mATX), 243.84 × 243.84 mm Chipset AMD B850 Socket AM5 Supported Processors AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series Desktop Processors Memory Slots 4 × DDR5 UDIMM Max Memory 256 GB Memory Speed DDR5 8200–5600 MT/s (OC), DDR5 5600–4800 MT/s (JEDEC) Display Outputs 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 60Hz) 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K 60Hz) PCIe Slots 1 × PCIe 5.0 x16 (CPU) 3 × PCIe 3.0 x1 (Chipset) Audio Codec Realtek ALC897 Audio Channels 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio M.2 Slots 3 × M.2 slots M.2_1: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU) M.2_2: PCIe 4.0 x4 (CPU) M.2_3: PCIe 4.0 x2 (Chipset) M.2 Device Sizes M.2_1: 2280/2260 M.2_2: 2280/2260 M.2_3: 2280 SATA Ports 4 × SATA 6Gb/s RAID Support SATA: RAID 0, 1, 10 NVMe: RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 Rear USB Ports 4 × USB 2.0 2 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C Front USB Headers 4 × USB 2.0 4 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C LAN Realtek 8126VB 5Gb Ethernet Wireless Networking Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) Tri-band 2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz MU-MIMO, MLO, 4KQAM Up to 2.9Gbps Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Internal Power Connectors 1 × 24-pin ATX Power 1 × CPU Power 1 × PCIe Power (8-pin) Cooling Headers 1 × CPU Fan 1 × Combo Fan/Pump 3 × System Fan RGB Headers 3 × Addressable RGB Gen2 (JARGB_V2) 1 × RGB LED (JRGB) Additional Internal Headers 2 × Front Panel (JFP) 1 × Chassis Intrusion (JCI) 1 × Front Audio (JAUD) 1 × COM Port (JCOM) 1 × JDASH Tuning Controller 1 × TPM 2.0 Header The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Specification Value Model / Part Number TM8FFE512G0C129 Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen4x4 with NVMe Sequential Read Speed Up to 5,000 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 2,500 MB/s Endurance (TBW) 325 TBW DRAM Cache No Cache Technology SLC Cache Controller InnoGrit Controller Solution Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C Weight 7 g Dimensions 80.0 × 22.0 × 3.7 mm Vibration Resistance 80 Hz ~ 2,000 Hz / 20G Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5 ms MTBF 3,000,000 hours Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 TM8FFE512G0C129 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
