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.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • 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.
