Well judging by the condition and confidence some of your players are gonna have after this I wouldn't be surprised to see you drop points against the likes of Birmingham or even West Brom.

However I can still see you finish anywhere between 4th and 10th,Roy's transfers have made sense so far and it may be a matter of time before you become a "team" again.

fernando not playing like fernando yet isn't helping either. we're rushing him... let him rest roy!!!

Manchester United fans are on red alert with the news that Michael Owen is set to pull on Liverpool's famous red shirt again.

The former Anfield hero is set to play 45 minutes of Jamie Carragher's testimonial on September 4, turning out against an Everton XI.

Owen has the blessing of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who hopes the run-out will improve the striker's fitness and form following his injury-blighted 2009-10 season.

And yet, while the one-off appearance will greatly benefit a charity of Carragher's choosing, many United fans will take umbrage at seeing one of their own wearing the colours of their fierce rivals.

Don't think they can really call him one of their own just yet. Hell, he played more games for Real Madrid than he has for Utd.

But if they have a problem with him playing in a Testimonial (for chariddy), then they are more imbecilic than I thought.

We've been poor this half realmad.gif some brilliant moments but overall poor.. the movement is bad.. no one is coming to support the forward guys.. the midfield cant hold the ball.. the defence apart from Vermaelen is just awful.. why is Rosicky not playing? After the last game Wenger still preferring Diaby over him..

Proficient

from your round of posts, I assume we didn't play very well today?

i wouldnt say we were profligate in front of the goal post. Blackburn gave us a run for our money on a few flashes but i think diaby had a decent game. Rosicky has done well in the past 2 but he is too injury prone to be risked in a 'rugby' style game, at least thats what i assume AW was thinking.

Hope fabregas gets match sharpness soon. Vision was great but just seemed like he was lacking something on a pitch.

Cheers to walcott. :)

Awful defending.. Deouf pushed Koscienly away like he's made of paper..

RvP injured no.gif

lets hope rvp has filled up his injury quota for the season with this minor knock. /end wishful thinking

from your round of posts, I assume we didn't play very well today?

Wenger's post match interview rounds it up really.. we were too nervous in the first half.. in the second half the players were more relaxed..

About the players.. Almunia was ok.. but again was partly responsible for the goal.. even 12 year olds who are learning to become GKs know never to dive in with their feet when a striker is running in at you.. you either stay back or dive forward to hold the ball.. that way if you miss it you can jump back and come back in position to make the save..

Konsciely.. showed lack of experience and physical strength for the goal.. all through the match his clearances were poor and gave the ball to attackers way too often.. was caught out of position often..

Vermaelen.. almost perfect.. a rock at the back..

Clichy.. poor.. caught out of position often.. second half was better..

Sagna.. maybe his best game.. very good in defence and good ball in for the goal..

Cesc.. out of form.. had flashes for brilliance..

Arshavin.. almost disappeared in the first half.. second half was a lot better..

Walcott.. Alan Hansen made a perfect remark after last game.. he is brilliant when he doesnt have time to think.. thats how he scored.. but when he has time to think and shoot or pass.. he's poor.. doesn't have a footballing brain? Great movement and speed though.. plus he looked confident.. was our most dangerous player all match..

Diaby.. Made too many bad runs and didn't pass to open players way too often.. doesn't have vision like Rosicky, Arshavin, Cesc or even Nasri.. covered for Konsciely well though when he was out of position.

Song.. Ok game.. made some good defensive runs..

Chamakh.. Needs time to adapt to EPL.. had some brilliant moments though..

RvP.. Out for 10-14 days.. twisted ankle.. great pass for Walcott's goal..

Poor in first half.. in second half movement off the ball was better and defence was more solid..

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.
