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.

of course believing news of the world is very rare haha

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.

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
