On Sunday, Arsenal Football Club released the following statement:

?During yesterday?s match against Stoke City,Aaron Ramsey sustained fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg. Yesterday evening he underwent surgery.

"The operation successfully reduced the fractures and whilst it is too soon to state an exact timescale for recovery, Aaron will certainly miss the remainder of this season. Our thoughts are with Aaron at this time and everyone at the Club wishes him all the best in making as speedy a return to action as possible.?

I am not sure that everyone here would agree with me but as horrible as the accident was, it was a pure accident!

There appeared to be no malicious intent on the part of Shawcross. Do you guys think that the ref overreacted to the incident with the red card or not? If both players got up OK from a similar incident, would there have been anything other than perhaps a yellow card or nothing at all? Football is after all a contact sport and as far as I know more people break legs in this sport than just about any other contact sport!

To the poor lad with the broken leg, I really hope that he gets back 100% and can get on with his football career!

Well I think when the ref sees broken leg, the odds are against the player. ?Despite it being an accident, I think the red card was sensible. ?It gets the player out of the match and it keeps the controversy down. ?The red card can be appealed.

But emotions were running high, I disagree with Wenger and Fabregas, they don't need protecting. ?The likes of Brum and Stoke always play a physical game against all teams. ?Arsenal were no exception, it just looks like they're being targeted because they've not got that many players of big build or those that which work really hard like Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, who can be great but can play a physical game. ?These are accidents or just bad tackles, in the league at the moment I can't really think of any thugs who would do anything like that. ?

Oh well, we (Villa) just ****ed up and allowed Rooney his seventh headed goal of the season!

Looks like that's it for us! I cannot see us coming back tbh. Rooney had scored only three headed goals in over 300 appearances and this season it is seven already!

Decent list, although I feel Evra and De Rossi should be much higher placed.

Rooney and Drogba should be higher based on form.. Torres has not done anything this year so its strange to see him at 8.. however on skill and talent alone he should be aove both Shrek and Drogba..Cesc at 16!!? Thats an outrage.. he's been the best midfielder this year for me.. he is so young and has a great head on his shoulders and he has controlled and changed many games for us..

Also, how is Ballack so high ? Higher than his Chelsea teammates A Cole and Terry :laugh:

Ballack is phenomenal when he plays for Germany,he's a completely different player.I'm not surpised to see him higher on a *World Cup* list.

Pretty good list although I disagree with some players being our of the top 20.I'm surprised to see our boy Essien in the top 10.

Rooney and Drogba should be higher based on form.. Torres has not done anything this year so its strange to see him at 8.. however on skill and talent alone he should be aove both Shrek and Drogba..Cesc at 16!!? Thats an outrage.. he's been the best midfielder this year for me.. he is so young and has a great head on his shoulders and he has controlled and changed many games for us..

Yes, based on current form, but Rooney's potential hasn't been 'fully' realised until now. Ronaldo and Messi are consistently brilliant and have been for the last few seasons. Rooney 3rd is a very fair result. If he has a decent world cup or even a good next season then who knows?

And remember these are the top players at the WORLD CUP, Cesc has to compete alongside the likes of Xavi, Alonso, Senna and Iniesta for central midfield roles for Spain.

And the comment about Torres being above Rooney and Drogba.... Well it is based on form and all 3 are terrifying on their day and to say Torres is more talented is pushing it a bit, everyone one of them are terrifyingly talented.

Rooney and Drogba should be higher based on form.. Torres has not done anything this year so its strange to see him at 8.. however on skill and talent alone he should be aove both Shrek and Drogba..Cesc at 16!!? Thats an outrage.. he's been the best midfielder this year for me.. he is so young and has a great head on his shoulders and he has controlled and changed many games for us..

You haven't been watching too many Barcelona games I presume?

It can hardly be based on current form, as Van Persie has been out for a while now, Klose has hardly played at all and Donnovan hasn't had many games in a reputable league. The exclusion of Diego Milito I feel is a little criminal, he's looked very dangerous with Eto'o, banging in the goals all season and will probably continue doing so at the World Cup if paired with similar speedy players like Tevez and Higuain. But that is an American web site, so I guess they just had to throw in Donnovan.

I tend to agree with any criticisms regarding Ballack. I've never actually figured out his role in the Chelsea midfield. To me, any of the little praise he does receive seems to come from people just viewing highlights, where in fact it seems all he does in games is walk about, sometimes moving at a slightly faster walk into the box or committing a foul - whether physically or by just stamping his foot, creating mini earthquakes beneath the feet of smaller players :s

Regarding Fabregas, I highly doubt he will start at all for Spain. Not sure of any upcoming fixtures, but I think Del Bosque has landed on the 3 attack minded + 1 defensive hardman midfield. So probably the same quartet from Euro 2008 - Iniesta, Xavi, Senna, Silva.

Bolton Wanderers Vs Wolverhampton Wanderers. 3:00PM.

May the best team win Mr. Wolfman1380.

Sorry would have replied to this sooner but been ill the past week. Anyway good win for Bolton however you're not out of it yet as Rappy said earlier in the thread it's so tight at the bottom that a loss will drag you back in to the relegation dogfight. Wolves definitely need to start taking their chances unfortunately it's difficult playing with one up front.

Aye.

Just hope we can hit the ground running now.

I was just looking at the remaining games for us and 'Pool:

Liverpool:

Wigan (A)

Pompey (H)

Man U (A)

Suderland (H)

Birm (A)

Fulham (H)

West Ham (H)

Burnley (A)

Chelsea (H)

Hull (A)

Arsenal:

Burnley (H)

Hull (A)

West Ham (H)

Birm (A)

Wolves (H)

Spuds (A)

Wigan (A)

Man city (H)

Rovers (A)

Fulham (H)

Seems to me if Liverpool can take out Man U and Chelsea for us and we take out Spuds and City.. we could both pretty much get good results from the rest of the games and end up in the top 4 shifty.gif.. with us possibly lifting the trophy? So what you say to an Arsenal-Liverpool tag team till the end of season? tongue.gif

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
    • I never played Crazy Taxi before, but this looks like a fun game!
    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
