This on the BBC site made me laugh:

1513: Didier Drogba is caught by a flailing John Pantsil arm, and goes down like he's been murdered. As well as being a magnificent footballer, he does do theatrics beautifully. He's OK.

drogba drogba. you'd think his reputation has probably increased the ref's tolerance of his theatrics ;)

Roman Abramovic has probably slipped the referee's association a back hander. If the letter of the law where applied properly for diving, Drogba would probably get sent off 15-20 times a season :/

The rules are there, but for some reason referees in this country hardly ever book players for diving, and in all seriousness although Drogba is particularly bad, a lot of players get away with it when they shouldn't, it needs to be looked at, along with the general standard of refereeing in this country.

Watching West Ham win is like watching a sexy girl take off her bra only to find that she was wearing another bra underneath. Always a victory followed by disappointment...

haha so true, I knew deep down though we wouldn't get anything from Spurs, we beat Pompey but then again we were expected to but we really weren't expected to beat Spurs.

Hey did any of you come across this?

Madrid - Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has made inquiries about trying to buy Real Madrid, according to an unconfirmed report here Sunday.

AS said the Abu Dhabi-based billionaire would be prepared to pay one billion euros for the Spanish giants, home to world class players like Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Spanish sports daily did not name its source but claimed: "Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has commissioned representatives to offer the sum (of one billion euros) to buy out the club."

...

AS added that a meeting between the Sheikh and Real president Florentino Perez could be held early in 2010. Real are reported to have debts of 327 million euros.

If the plan gathered momentum, it would inevitably start alarm bells ringing for English Premier League side Manchester City, where Italian Roberto Mancini has just taken over following the sacking of Mark Hughes.

The rules of European football's ruling body Uefa dictate that two different clubs cannot have the same owner.

:huh: So if this is real and the deal falls through City will have to find themselves another sugar daddy :p

Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar has been given indefinite compassionate leave to visit his ill wife in the Netherlands.

Annemarie van Kesteren, 36, suffered a brain haemorrhage on 23 December.

"Annemarie had a problem over in Holland a week ago and has been admitted to hospital," said United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

"That is the best place for her to be. They have examined her twice and are trying to get to the root of it."

Van der Sar, 39, has not played since suffering a knee injury in United's 3-0 win over Everton on 21 November.

And the Dutchman has been told to take as long as he needs before returning to play for United.

"I have told Edwin to stay over there. There is no point in him being here," added Ferguson.

"The best thing is for him to be with his wife. Hopefully she will make a good recovery."

Van der Sar had been in his homeland to receive treatment from the Holland team doctor for his knee injury when his wife collapsed.

:( Hope she recovers.

Sky Sports report that the Intermarket Group is to table a ?100 million bid for the club on Monday. I will believe it when I see it.

Sky Sports News understands an American consortium are to make a ?100 million bid for West Ham United next week.

London-based Inter Market have revealed they intend to lodge a bid for the Premier League strugglers next Monday and plan to provide funds for Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola in January.

New York-born Jim Bowe is the chief executive of the company but several of the investors are believed to be West Ham supporters and are desperate to help the East Londoners out of the relegation battle which they have become embroiled in this season.

Inter Market are said to be keen to seal a deal for the Upton Park outfit as soon as possible so they can give Zola enough time to buy new players during the January transfer window.

It is believed CB Holdings, the company in control of West Ham, are looking favourably at the deal but are in no rush to sell after they rejected a previous bid by former Birmingham City co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan earlier in December.

I hope for their sake that this goes through, an injection of cash would do West Ham some major good at this moment in time.

fully agree it does seem as though we will have to sell a big asset (Parker,Upson) to fund our activity though.

For me, selling one big player to bring in another is a bit of an exercise in futility really

yeah but I suppose its the only way to raise the cash, look at Liverpool for example its reported they are going to sell Voronin and Babel to raise some funds.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
