Happy for Wolves to pick up a win today, but both these teams are awful. Calamity goal from Fernandes. Are they both going down? 🤣

I’m surprised no one’s questioned that 9-minute ET. No idea where that came from, but for once worked in our favour. 🙌 #lufc

“Where are the goals going to come from?” they said. 10 in the last 5 games. ⚽️⚽️/game average.
If we could just stop leaking at the other end… #lufc

Looks like Toon amd the Toffees have done what we needed. Now we just need to hold up our end. 🦾 #lufc

My report on a fine #lufc victory last night is on the link below. 5-3-2 looks like the future - probably til the rest suss it out. Leeds were very good but, note of caution, Chels were way below their best! Hope has been resuscitated! What did you reckon?

I’m going to be pissed if we lose the next two games. I’m going to be even more pissed if we lose the manager.
Yep , he fucked up in the Villa game, but he’s still better than any of the alternatives. #lufc

If Liverpool win away at WHU by 3 or more, we’re magically out of the drop zone. #itsthehopethatkillsya #lufc

We beat Man City 0-1 with 10-men under Bielsa. Love to see this team come out swinging. #lufc

Haven’t seen any post match interviews with him yet, but I wish Farke’d just put his hand up for this one.
Lads did what was asked of them, but the manager made the wrong decisions in the 2nd half. #lufc

On the plus side, I thought Nmecha had a very good game, both offensively and defensively.
Seems to be growing with game time and starts ahead off DCL for me.
Just need someone other than Brenda to play off him. #lufc

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.

Ppl keep saying Farke isn’t “elite level”, but who is that you could realistically get to replace him?
If the answer is any of the those proven failures on the bookies’ list, I’m happy to say I’m also available at less than half the cost of a Heckingbottom. 🙃 #lufc #holdtheline

Just introduced a new category of reverse engineering labs: Multistage. Multistage labs simulate full malware attack chains based on real-world malware campaigns. These labs are designed to familiarize malware analysts with reversing complex infection chains, rather than just standalone malware.

Real world malware infections often happen in stages. Each step of the infection chain is responsible for initializing the next. For these challenges, you'll have to analyze your way through more…

For the brief 20 seconds we saw of it, DCL and Piroe is a combo I’d like to see more of.
Also, Struijk in for Bijol please. Too negative and doesn’t want to pass forward. #lufc

So Sky’s entire analysis of #lufc after broadcasting Farke’s pre-match interview was to talk about Sunderland. 🤦‍♂️
How’s that Sky song go again? 😡

Today isn’t the time for one of those “great performance, got nothing out of it” games.
This is the kind of game where we have to rob them with 90 minutes of relentless “we’re not going back to the Champo, you are” determination.
A Farke “knife between the teeth” job. #lufc #alaw

🙌 Updated the XProtect-Malware-Families repo to the latest version of XProtect.
💁‍♂️ The repo maps #Apple #malware names to more common names used by security vendors.
#YARA style tags so now you can search for classes of malware like 'infostealer', 'trojan'. #security
