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.

Konchesky, Poulsen...

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.

    • Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.
    • I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.
    • Ventoy 1.1.16 is out.
    • This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
