Played very well tonight and it was great to get the win.
Liverpool v Swansea in the next round.

Lots of good youngsters coming through at the moment. Certainly more than I can remember for a long time. I guess we are seeing more of them given that the first team squad is so thin and we have a few injuries.
Suso looks the real deal. Great work for him for the second goal.
Assaidi also looks a decent player.
Sahin was class tonight.

Just got informed you have to buy a new charger or connector now also?

Not if your buying the iPhone 5 as I'd assume it comes with it.
Where you will run into problems is if you have a docking station the new iPhone won't fit it.

My emails are a lot slower since ios6. Anyone else notice this?

Yes!! And sometimes wifi connection drops in full signal!

That's happening me as well.
A few times I've had to turn the wifi option on phone  off and back on again to get it working again.
Only started happening since I updated.

So they want us to drop down to the Christy Ring.
I dunno I suppose it is our level and it might be a good thing for a season or two.

I'd bet it's a historical search, maybe an ancestory database, or census records or whatever. It's using the nomenclature of the day.

I wouldn't mind so much if that's what it was!
It's actually an Electronics company in America with whom I was registering with so I could buy parts for a job I am doing. That's why I thought What the Fcuk when I saw it!

For live games download Sopcast and go to http://www.wiziwig.tv/index.php?part=sports
Only way to watch soccer on the internet imo,or golf for that matter.
Fair enough some games may only be got in a foreign language but it's surprising how quickly you forget they are even speaking in a different language,I suppose it just goes to show how little we(or me anyway)actually listen to what commentators say.
Wiziwig offers links for flash streams too but I always find Sopcast to be the best there is.


With sopcast is there any way you can tell which channel is showing a specfic match, it took me ages to find the Liverpool Utd game on Sunday and it was very poor quality when I finally found it

That's what wiziwig is for. It shows the links for all the games.
Just click on the game you want and it will tell you if there is a Sopcast stream or flash stream or both.
I have never had a problem with Sopcast and the streams are always excellent.
Can you make the screen  bigger than 4 inches square?

Did your wife never tell you 4inches is plenty  ;D

Yeah you can, there is a button on the bottom of the video player to expand the screen to full size.
Its a little arrow in a box,just press that and you'll get full screen.

Watched MOTD2 last night, the Liverpool supporting presenter, the former Liverpool legend defender, and the former Arsenal player, & self confessed boyhood Liverpool fan ALL agreed the referee got all the major calls on the day correct. Yet the Liverpool fans still feel agrieved?

League table doesn't lie!

Maybe you should go take a look and see what self confessed Liverpool hater Gary Neville said after the game on Sunday.

I switched over to watch the AI Final on Sunday. Didn't record the analysis part either.
What did he say?

In a nutshell he said Liverpool were hard done by on the major decisions,they should have had a peno,Shelvey shouldn't have been sent off and United should not have had a peno.
Strange that Suarez's supposed reputation is going against him with penalty decisions.How many times did Ashley Young dive for penos last year yet was always given the penalty despite his reputation...Probably helps that he is English I suppose.
Danny Welbeck is at it now as well. For what its worth I don't think Valencia dived I think he lost his balance but it still wasn't a penalty.

I'm trying to watch a video clip that I'd like to be able to see on the BBC website but I keep getting a message saying 'Media selection request failed'
I tried a few other videos and some work others don't.
Any ideas?
Reruns of the Paul Daniels Magic Show?

None of your business. Can you help me or not you plank.

Here's some news that may have been missed by many because most of the chat has been about the daylight robbery that occurred yesterday and the United fans showing their true class with their disgusting chanting after the game.

I only saw it myself on another forum so maybe to be taken with a pinch of salt but hopefully something can be sorted soon.

Liverpool to end stadium saga with £150m plan to rebuild Anfield into 60,000 home

Liverpool's American owners will end the club's 10-year stadium saga by committing to develop Anfield as a refurbished 60,000-capacity venue, including 7,000 'corporate' seats.

The club publicly maintain that no final decision has yet been made between refurbishment and a new stadium but detailed plans are in place for a phased expansion of the Main Stand and then the Anfield Road stand.

The work is expected to cost about £150 million, a huge saving on the estimated £400m that a new stadium in Stanley Park would cost, although an estimated £50m has been spent by the club on designs and planning for a new stadium.
Naming rights might have helped to subsidise a new venue but no suitable deal has been found.

Liverpool City Council have been working closely with the club on stadium options for years and for a long time were in favour of a new stadium, to be shared with Everton.
The council now believe that official confirmation on the refurbishment is imminent from John W Henry's Fenway Sports Group.

A council spokesman said: 'It does seem to be the case that the club have decided to stay at Anfield and that Liverpool officials are preparing to confirm the decision'.

The importance of resolving the stadium situation is highlighted by today's sell-out game against Manchester United at Anfield, which will generate about £1.5m in revenues for Liverpool.

The corresponding match at Old Trafford will generate more than £3m not just because United have more seats but better corporate facilities for which the club can charge more.

Anfield's 45,000-seat capacity and structure limits the extent to which Liverpool can mount a realistic challenge to rivals including United (who have 76,000 seats) and Arsenal (60,000) – on and off the pitch.

Henry himself has long been supportive of the idea that Liverpool's long-time home should remain their home.
He feels the club can develop without moving in the way that his baseball club, the Boston Red Sox, have done at their home, Fenway Park.

Henry dropped another heavy hint in June that a refurbished Anfield was his preference when tweeting a link to a blog by a Liverpool architect, Peter McGurk, that suggested Liverpool should stay put.

McGurk has no connection to the club or redevelopment.

Council regeneration plans for the area around Liverpool have provided a solution to the long-running problem of freeing up land for Anfield's expansion.


The council intend to acquire property for demolition and refurbishment - and crucially now have the option of applying for compulsory purchase orders if required.

The council will be hoping to avoid any drastic action by offering residents the full market values of their homes plus compensation and relocation costs
