He won't replace Alonso, that's for sure. He is a very different player. If he does get a solid first team place, it could force Gerrard wide or in centre mid with Mascherano, with Aquilani himself playing behind Torres in my opinion.

As for the game, I don't think any United fan can take anything positive from that game. The key was no Fletcher-esque player. I'm surprised Fergie hasn't noticed, against top teams Carrick and Scholes can't play together. Anderson to replace one of them might have done a better job. And no wonder Lucas and Mascherano both gave in terrific performances. Going to be very tight this season mind, though I don't think anybody will be fighting Chelsea (even with the African Nations coming soon).

We have a life. One day or another, you will get one too. Hopefully.

We played poorly, no doubt, we missed someone who can speed up even more the game, Nani and Valencia (who was very good on sunday) aren't like that yet.

But I still think 2-0 is not a fair result. We were technicaly far better than Liverpool. We didn't have enough goal opportunity.

We simply lost a battle, a battle every fan wants to win, sure, but it's no big deal. We don't need a tree to hide the forest, if you know what I mean. :shifty:

Technically better my arse. The only Man Utd player who showed an ounce of technique better than pub football level on Sunday was Berbatov. Lucas and Mascherano simply stopped you from playing, and your players could not deal with the atmosphere at Anfield.

Also, I think Frank was referring to Mail's absence from the thread btw.

Fans with an S, so I guess he means every United fans who participate in this thread. And I still believe, although it's clearly a fact and not a belief, that we were better technicaly. And about not dealing with the atmosphere at Anfield, please... We managed to win games in way more hostile atmosphere than Anfield, like Besiktas one month ago for example.

La la la la la...

In the words of Slur Alex:

"We didn't handle the atmosphere of the game, I thought."

I was mainly referring to Mail yes, but then he only comes into the thread to troll anyway. I guess nothuman just took my little joke a bit too personally xD

Childish and typical Liverpool supporter... That's why you can't talk with them.

:laugh: righto champ ;)

For being correct?

Typical Man Utd supporter: not from Manchester, never been to a game.

:rofl:

Thta's exactly why I will never take you seriously. For one, you support Liverpool, which is highly questionnable. Second, you seem to think that only you can be called a supporter. Do I need to point you that a f... lot of Liverpool supporters comes from other countries, and so never been to a game? So in your logic (then again, childish and stupid) those supporters in fact aren't? Please... grow a brain, and for once, get the f... out of your little head and go see further Liverpool (the city), you'll see, it's brighter outisde.

I never understood why Martyn always says that about other team and their fans. Hell, for example I support The All Blacks rugby team in New Zealand and I have never been to NZ or a professional Rugby match. However, I have close friends who played the sport for my university and we all started supporting them and watching them a few years back. Does that make me less of a fan? I really dont think so, I am probably more hardcore about it than a lot of "local" fans are.

gregb0b, it's because most fans who are 'local' to their team think they have a divine right to be the 'true' supporters of their football club. And they assume most of us who are not from the city,town etc... are just glory supporters who 'picked' the team who were doing well.

A guy supporting the team of his home town... yeah, so questionable :laugh:

The most questionable thing is you supporting man united, one could even speculate that you are in the generation that believes that football was invented by sky sports in 1993 and have hopped on the Man United glory train like most of their other supporters.

Until you have actually been to a town like Liverpool, Manchester, London, ETC you are not in the right place to comment about local passion, you are clearly clueless about it. Come over here, visit one of those places, then actually try getting a clue.

It is always good to see Liverfail lose :)

Until your team of bottlers can win a European cup I will be laughing just as hard in your direction :)

:huh:

I pretend not to see the lamest trial of intent* I've ever read and just said to you the same thing I've said to Martyn: grow a brain. Please.

With your logic you can say "why the f... do you support Liverpool and not Everton? You too are a glory hunter and not a real supporter. See? Pretty lame right? And that's exactly how you two sound, even one of you one day said so. Pathetic.

*I don't know if it's the right word, sorry if it's not, but you know, I'm french, and I'ver never been to England so my english is not so very good...

I support Liverpool because I grew up in a family of Liverpool supporters, and that has stuck with me. The time I started to personally support them was one of the worst in the club's history so i'd hardly call me a "glory hunter" :laugh:

And the difference is supporting Liverpool or Everton would be reasonable for a person from Liverpool. You aren't even from Manchester at all, in fact as you don't even live in this country, that makes your support of Man United far more questionable than Martyn's support of Liverpool.

Pretty disappointing result, but not overly surprising given a lot of our first teamers where not involved. Sounds like Aquilani had an impact though, which is promising

Same thing could be said about Arsenal not havingi its first team. >:D Then again, you guys had Babel, Voronin and others in the second half...

How is it questionable that I support Liverpool? I am from Liverpool, my family supports Liverpool and I actually go to games and stand on The Kop. Unless of course, it was a 'humourous' comment from you that I support Liverpool, in which case that makes you a hypocrite for in turn calling me childish.

FYI, I have seen more of the real world than 'Liverpool', I'm studying a degree in another city you bad mong. Supporting a team is either done through location or family, it's people like you who stop 9 year old Scousers or Mancunians actually getting a ticket these days.

blablabla lame blabla I lulz

How could I stop a 9 year old Scousers or Mancunians actually getting a ticket these days by living so far away from Old Trafford? :huh: :x

Do you even listen to yourself? God I am bored... It's the last time I said to you, please GROW A F...... BRAIN! Don't try to make me feel guilty for doing nothing more than supporting the team I love. And don't add racism and hatefulness to your stupidity. Seriously, "Supporting a team is either done through location or family"? :blink: You crossed a line, it ain't funny anymore.

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.
