Man Utd gave that chance away!

Villa didn't even play that well, just defended like a rock. I really don't think Fergie should start games with only Rooney up front, that hardly ever works yet he keeps doing it.

The kind of games where it becomes obvious what a big loss Ronaldo is to their team. Poor performance from the blue scum, and sadly United couldn't capitalise. At least we have seen that Chelsea are beatable, hopefully more teams will follow suit.

Not to be picky, but Chelsea weren't beaten :p It was 3-3

I think he means their defence can't hold out over 90 minutes and teams are finding a way to score against them :p

Well I'm sure the 2-1 win for City was compelling evidence for that. :laugh:

Honestly though, no team is unbeatable (except the Arsenal of 03/04 :p), after the Arsenal game everyone seemed to jump on the bandwagon that Chelsea were. Not to say that United are, as we've been pretty shocking this year ignoring us being 2nd.

I think out attack is fine, to be honest. Every time we lose, it's all "OMG MAN UNITED IS NOTHING WITHOUT RONALDO", of course it was nothing to do with only -one man- doing our attack. When we win, it was all "Okay, we're fine without Ronaldo!". Everyone seems to forget that we were defeatable with Ronaldo, and still be defeatable without Ronaldo. One man does not make a team, and I still stand by this.

Ditto, Can't believe the lucky ass goals Everton managed to get today, first being an unfortuante own goal and the thrid a crazy goal from a drogba clearance.
Everton were lucky as hell but I can't find enough bad words for our defense and Cech.Horrific,Atrocious,Laughable,Egregious and awful are the fist that come to my mind.If our defense ,particularly Terry and Carvalho,were up to their usual standards the score would have been 3-0.

Some of the Blues went as fas as raising questions about kicking Cech out of the team,can't really blame them.He is to blame for most of the goals we conceded so far in the league.

Not to be picky, but Chelsea weren't beaten :p It was 3-3

Conceding 3 from Everton in the Bridge is almost the same as getting beaten.

On other news,City are back on schedule. :p

Hoping for a draw or an away win in tomorrows big match.

Edit:I just hate the hypocrisy of the press,few are mentioning Rooney's blatant dive just as none of them made any significant mention of Stevie's dive last week against Blackburn.Everybody are furious when N'Gog,Drogba or any non-English player cheats but when one of the English boys dives it somehow becomes less significant.

?1BILLION CHINESE TAKEAWAY AT UNITED

>

A CONSORTIUM of Far East businessmen have put together a ?1 BILLION deal to buy Manchester United.

The group of six billionaires have spent three months on a deal they hope is too good for Malcolm Glazer to reject.

Two consortium members are keen United fans who have twice visited Old Trafford this year to watch Sir Alex Ferguson and his players in Premier League action.

Based in Bangkok, the consortium wants to buy out the Glazer family and put an end to the financial balancing act which has engulfed the world's biggest football club.

A financial source in Bangkok said: "All the finances are in place and they are ready to approach the Glazers.

"They have done their homework down to the minutest detail and realise the Glazers are under pressure to service their mounting debts.

"If ever there was a time for United to be vulnerable to a buyout, it is now."

Our source added: "Make no mistake, this could be the biggest football deal of all time.

"Roman Abramovich's investment in Chelsea will be nothing compared to this. If the Glazers are ready to sell, the money is absolutely on the table."

The consortium would also be willing to take a part-share in United if the Glazers did not want to relinquish total control.

I don't think they are nothing without Ronaldo, but it has been clear on some occasions when they have had teams there that are beatable that they lack the extra attacking spark that he induced. I don't think they are nothing, but I do think they have gone from a great attacking side, to a good attacking side.

Not sure what to think of this idea, while I don't like the Glazer's much I don't like the idea of a Man City type takeover for United. I really don't like seeing clubs just go stupid with cash and try to buy an expensive starting 11, a team needs gel and players that work well together. Which is why we all lol @ Man City.

Still getting rid of the clubs huge debt would be good.

They are nothing without him. Utd have alot of good players but for the past two maybe three years they have not had to get better because Ronaldo created so many chances for them which were easy to take and now they dont have that and have to make their own chances which they are just not doing. Rooney is outstanding and so is giggs but as far as any other players are concernced Vidic, Evra carrick are the only players I could see in the chelsea side.

It will just take them a while to get back to being the best but at the moment there is a massive gap which Valenica was not bought to fill as he is a completly different player.

I would be very surprised if Chelsea didnt run away with it. I do however love the 3rd to 8th battle. Everyone is very close and I could actually see someone brakeing into the top four the first time which will only make the league better.

Chelsea have ruined football by turning it into a spending competition. Now everyone else is having to do these kind of deals just to stay competitive. Football is fast starting to become an financially unstable sport, and something needs to be changed.

Benitez has to be on his way out, seriously...

don't know would the yanks risk the wrath of the pool fans if they did that? plus he signed new long term deal I believe recently so it would cost around ?20m!

Yeh, it's weird because half of the fans think it's the Yanks faults, whereas the other half are convinced Benitez has had enough time.

Anywho good to see Arsenal win, at least it won't end up as a 2 horse race by Christmas.

    • 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: 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: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 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. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7

      By Copernic · Posted

      RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.
