Sky Sports News sources understand Jens Lehmann is holding talks with Arsenal regarding a possible playing return to the club.

Wow talk about being depserate.

Latest reports suggested yesterday that Sir Alex is looking to sell him after the season...

If it happens I think it'll have nothing to do with his behaviour or his performance. The signs were there even before he singed that contract.

would not be such a bad move. Could easily buy a new goalie(neuer/skeltonberg) and young midfielder/striker for him. Then keep berba and start hernandez.

A Football Association tribunal has given Sir Alex Ferguson a five-match touchline ban for his comments about referee Martin Atkinson.

The Manchester United manager was found guilty of improper conduct for criticising Atkinson's display in the loss at Chelsea earlier this month.

"You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that," Ferguson told MUTV.

The ban starts on 22 March and includes the FA Cup tie against Manchester City.

The Independent Regulatory Commission's sanction is made up of a three-game ban for the Atkinson remarks and the activation of a two-game suspended ban that Ferguson was given last year for suggesting referee Alan Wiley was not "fit enough" to keep up with play.

The three-man panel also fined the 69-year-old manager ?30,000.

The reasons for the decision will be sent to Ferguson in the next 24 hours and he then has 48 hours to decide if he wants to appeal. This is why the sanction does not start until after Saturday's home league game against Bolton Wanderers.

Should he accept the punishment, the Old Trafford boss will have to watch the Premier League games against West Ham, Fulham, Everton and Arsenal from the stands, as well as the semi-final against local rivals City at Wembley.

I'd rather the FA put more effort into sorting out players disrespecting refs.

Actually, The FA need to sort out mistakes made by referees. They make so many ridiculous mistakes, it's no wonder everyone criticises them. Players and managers are allowed to criticise each other publicly, but not the referees. It's unfair that they get this special immunity when there's a good reason why they're being criticised.

I'm all for that. Sadly, FIFA is still run by a technophobic dinosaur. There's other things that I'd love to see done to the game; mainly getting rid of injury time. Instead of having injury time, why not do what a lot of other sports do and just stop the clock when the play stops? It's not that hard. It should be like rugby; stop the clock when the ball is dead, then when you've passed the 45/90 minute mark (40/80 minutes in rugby), the half doesn't end until the ball goes out of play.

I don't see a problem with injury time. If there are stoppages throughout the game, why should an attendee at the stadium or viewer at home get less game play?

^^ 5 match ban is harsh but deserved I guess.

It's actually 3 for the latest outburst and 2 that were suspended last time.

And they can't do anything about players disrespecting refs if the managers don't.

He's back and this makes me nervous and relieved at the same time.. relieved coz obviously he can't perform any worse than Almunia does and nervous coz he acts like a madman all of a sudden..

well your fighting on one front now so lets hope he doesn't go bat**** crazy during a game :rofl: ;)

It wouldn't be less game play though.

Read what he said.

When there is a stoppage, the referee would stop the clock (like they do in rugby). So you'd always get 90 minutes of actual play.

Well they already add time for stoppages and delays.. the argument that game will become shorter or longer because of this is trivial.. if refs want respect they will have to give the right decisions and tech can aid them in that...

The problem with injury time at the moment is that the referee doesn't always add on the right amount of time, and almost all of the time, the referee lets play go beyond the allotted amount of injury time and if one team ends up scoring a goal and winning the match in that extra amount of injury time, then you've got a lot of controversy on your hands.

And I won't lie; Man U's actually done that on a few occasions. :p

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
