it actually was, man city played like ass, it was soo boring to watch the second half. more then obvious they were playing for the draw.

Exactly. And Wenger made some idiotic moves. taking out Walcott and replacing him with Arshavin who stunk.

Then deploying Bendtner as a Left Winger? what gives?

Kenny Dalglish in, Roy Hodgson out.

Please please please...

Looks like you've got your wish:

Hodgson leaves Liverpool 'by mutual consent'

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has left the club by mutual consent.

Hodgson, 63, won only seven of 20 Premier League games after taking over from Rafael Benitez in July 2010 and led the club to 12th in the table.

Former player and manager Kenny Dalglish has been placed in charge until the end of the season.

"Both parties thought it in the best interests of the club that he stand down," said American owner John W Henry in a statement on the club's website.

Hodgson refused to answer questions about his Anfield future following Liverpool's 3-1 defeat by Blackburn on Wednesday, the club's third loss in four Premier League games, which left them just four points clear of the relegation zone.

David Beckham 'to train' with Tottenham first team - Won't play.

Former England captain David Beckham has agreed to train with Tottenham until 10 February but will not play for the Premier League club on loan.

BBC Sport understands that insurance premiums have made a short-term loan deal for the LA Galaxy midfielder complicated preventing a move to Spurs.

"Tottenham are delighted to announce that David Beckham will train with the first-team squad," said the club.

Earlier, manager Harry Redknapp had said the loan move was a "no-goer".

Galaxy demanded the insurance fee after he picked up an Achilles injury during his last spell on loan in Europe with AC Milan last season.

That injury ruled the former Manchester United player out of last year's World Cup.

It will come as a blow to the 115-cap midfielder, who had been hoping to catch the eye of England manager Fabio Capello with a two-month loan spell at the Premier League side...

I feel sorry for Hodgson, I wonder if that's his career in management done

Nah, I doubt it.

I think everyone outside of Liverpool knew he didn't stand a chance.

That and he never got to secure his own players which didn't help.

He just got ?3 million in compensation - it's hard to 'feel sorry' for him.

Nah, I doubt it.

Liverpool have confirmed Steve Clarke has been appointed as a first-team coach at Anfield.

The former Newcastle, Chelsea and West Ham assistant will move to the Merseyside club and take up the post as Kenny Dalglish looks to form a backroom staff that will help results improve on the pitch.

Reds legend Dalglish is in charge at Liverpool until the end of the campaign following the departure of Roy Hodgson on Saturday.

Clarke left his job at West Ham in the summer after the club parted company with Gianfranco Zola, having worked under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

The 47-year-old Scot brings with him a wealth of coaching experience and Dalglish is delighted to see him arrive at the club.

"Steve is a great addition to our backroom team and I'm delighted we've been able to bring him into the club," he told Liverpool's official website.

"I am looking forward to working with Steve alongside Sammy (Lee) and our other technical staff."

Rivals Manchester United made sure Dalglish's first game in charge ended in defeat after earning a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The Reds now have the chance to turn around their poor Premier League form when they go to Blackpool on Wednesday.

The Football Association has charged Liverpool forward Ryan Babel with improper conduct after he criticised referee Howard Webb on Twitter.

The comments followed Liverpool's defeat by Manchester United in Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie.

Babel forwarded on a mocked-up picture of Webb in a United shirt and also said: "And they call him one of the best referees. That's a joke."

The Dutchman later removed the posts before apologising to Webb.

"My apology if they take my posted picture seriously. This is just a emotional reaction after losing an important game," he said.

"Sorry Howard Webb."

---

New Liverpool caretaker manager Kenny Dalglish will be a candidate for the post on a permanent basis.

The Scot is in charge until the end of the season, with director of football Damien Comolli tasked with finding Roy Hodgson's long-term successor.

Asked whether former Reds player and manager Dalglish would be considered Comolli said: "The answer is yes."

Dalglish added: "If I do really well and someone better than me comes along I will have no problem whatsoever."

Seriously, are they not allowed to make fun of/critisize refs? What kind of protective shields do these men have?

It's more about saying the ref has a bias towards one team. Once a ref is accused of being biased it makes it even more difficult for that ref to officiate any game connected directly or indirectly with that club and may end up making him biased against that team. It's one of those rules designed to stop things happening just like how Clattenburg wasn't allowed to be a ref when companies he was involved with had financial issues because it opens him to bribes.

To me Babel was stupid to post the picture, he could have claimed it was someone else, eg a mate at his house but then he's basically admitted it was him who posted it so...

The FA seem to go to ludicrous lengths to protect referees these days, it seems they don't want to hold them to account for their poor decisions. The issue with poor refereeing in the premier league just won't go away, and the FA do not seem to want to go to any lengths to rectify it. If you are being cost results by poor officiating, you should have the right to speak out in my opinion.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
