Bah, I got off to a bad start last season and came second. I will be better this year...if not in what place I come, then what score I get!

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok I signed up with Yahoo! with some friends and family. Now, I follow Serie A much more than the Premiership but most of the people I know follow Premiership more so we did a league in that. Just want people's opinions on my team.

Diouf - will get way too many yellow cards and won't score enough.

Drogba - can't be garenteed a first team place, but did score twice in the community shield

Ronaldo - Good choice

De La Cruz - ok

Carsley - Good, solid player

Carrick - Will get a few assists

Ferdinand - Good

Distin - Man City have a leaky defence some times - might not get clean sheet points!

Delaney - OK

Finnan - Is he first-choice now? If not, you might want to change him.

Friedel - Good, solid keeper!

So, IMO, overall your team is pretty good. The only one I would really want to change is Diouf!

BTW -

The Neowin league is looking a bit sparce atm. Could anyone who reads this please put a link in their sig to entice more to join.....Like me!!!

With Diouf I'm hoping he'll accumulate some early goals before getting into trouble and raise his value and then I'll sell him for someone who will be more likely to be on the pitch every week.

I was torn between Drogba and Crespo to be honest. But I know Drogba has had a wonderful showing in their exhibitions here in the U.S. and in the Community Shield so I'm hoping he'll win out.

Just found out Distin is out for the first two weeks so he's getting sold anyway, lol.

I filled in my defense last so I basically just got whoever I could afford. I'm going to look at them more carefully before this Saturday. Thanks for the input

Standings so far:

Nice one farsight, keep it up mate (Y)

Ha Ha, ta!

I won't be counting my chickens yet though - absolutely ages left to go!!!

Edit

Actually, I am not sure if this is allowed on Neowin, but if any of the older members of Neowin who are legally allowed to bet want to put a couple of quid on them winning then post here or contact me... :shifty:

I appologise if posting this is against neowin rules...but since the league is outside Neowin's juristiction then I hope it's ok!!!

Thats a good team, all in all, although I would probably have replaced Shearer with Ellington, Camara or Harewood and used the money to buy a chelsea defender because they are more or less garenteed to keep clean sheets!

But yeah - a very good team, that!

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
