You also can't argue against the fact that he's the luckiest man in football's history.

Ever heard the phrase "you make your own luck"?

Hard work usually pays off, and a team that can win so many games when playing poorly is one that deserves it IMO.

Ha, but unlike other teams you have to cheat to get your goals, still fuming about that Nani goal.. AND Park scoring in the 112th ****ing minute, ridiculous! How many times have we seen it? 2 or 3 minutes added on, 9 minutes later Utd get a goal, pathetic.

Nanis goal - don't see how it was "cheating" per se. Yes, I'd be angry if it was the other way around, but you need to blame the referee or the linesman, or perhaps blame Gomez for giving the ball to Nani?

Parks goal - 93rd minute, within injurty time. How is that cheating? There was 4 minutes of added time given, and Nani scored in the 3rd. Just sour grapes I think.

I wouldnt say he gave the ball to Nani, he placed it down and walked back as in ready to take the free kick.. The thing which got me is if it was play on why did everyone but Nani run back up the pitch expecting a long kick from Gomes? It was a farce, probably one of the worst decisions in recent history, the same thing happened with liverpool not long ago. Video technology is WAY overdue, dick heads like Clattenburg wont **** things up so much then :)

The referee never blew his whistle. I don't care what level you are playing at, you play to the whistle.

That is the second thing I was taught playing football for my local boysclub when I was 11! Somewhat oddly, the first thing I was taught is also ignored by top players too often - don't mess around with the ball right infront of your goal.

You can't blame Nani for tapping it in. The ball was in open play. If he didn't try to score, then he would have had a right screaming at from the rest of his team and from fergie.

I think Nani should have been booked for the hand ball, but I don't see any problem with a free kick not being given - Gomez had the ball, so why bother stopping play.

Going back to my first point - Gomez should have been paying attention. He wasn't, he conceded.

Why bother stopping play? You could say that about any foul any handball and illegal incident.. Nani wouldnt have had a shouting at if the didnt do it, because nobody knew what was going on majority of the United team AND Ferguson admitted that they though it was a free kick, how the linesman missed it i dont know..

Gomez had the ball though. You see it all the time. Like offsides flagged by the linesman, but as the defending team has got the ball, the ref plays on.

There was no free kick given, thus Nani was right to try to score. Blame the referee, linesman or Gomez. I agree it was a farce though.

Not going to bother repeating myself anymore smile.gif.

I agree that united often get decisions in their more than what they should, but the two that you mentioned (Nani's goal and Park's goal) were totally legitamate.

Liverpool beating Chelsea 2-0 then tying Wigan 1-1...same logic?

Happens more often than you think, that is why those kind of FA cup contests are always so close. There's something about playing a fierce rival (especially a rival as big as Chelsea) that gets the adrenaline flowing that doesn't always happen against lesser opponents. Not a great result for sure, but it keeps us unbeaten and confidence in the camp will continue to improve.

Chelsea have announced they are not renewing the contract of assistant manager Ray Wilkins and that he is to leave the club with immediate effect.

Wilkins, 54, rejoined Chelsea's coaching staff for a second time in 2008 to work under Luiz Felipe Scolari.

He stayed when Guus Hiddink came in and remained when Carlo Ancelotti was named manger ahead of the 2009-2010 season.

Chelsea's chief executive Ron Gourlay said: "I would like to thank Ray for everything he has done for Chelsea."

He added: "We all wish him well for the future."

Wilkins - who enjoyed a distinguished playing career with spells at Chelsea, Manchester United, AC Milan and QPR amongst others - was on the bench for the clubs's 1-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
