Heh, I admit that Amdy Faye wasn't exactly a world class signing... Touch?.

On a side-note (albeit, a somewhat minor side-note) Owen has agreed a 4 year deal with Newcastle (Pending medical).

Owen set to complete Magpies move

Hopefully the players will wake up and play like the top flight team we are on paper.

Personally i am gutted he has gone to the Barcodes; but I think a combination of the prospect of not playing every game for the Reds, and also Rafa and Co not being held to ransom over the 16 million fee... I mean, RM still owe the club nigh on 4 million; and to lose him last year for just 8 million plus Nunez (Bag of crap he was!)...

I just feel that with Cisse, Morrientes, Crouch, Pongolle, Mellor, Garcia etc...I cannot see any of them matching Owen for goals scored - we need desperatly to be scoring goals...and I don't see our strikers matching that.

Up the REDMEN.

It's quite funny how the comments saying Newcastle are a poor team and a bad manager seem to have Liverpool in their user info...

Sure, I'm from nearby Newcastle, as well as supporting them, but I don't understand how people can instantly condemn something like that.

Souness has brought in some quality players since becoming manager, and I admit we finished badly last season and are playing badly this season, not something I can really deny. But this is clearly because of confidence. On paper we have a top 6 team. Parker, Emre, Luque, and now Owen. We do have quite a strong side. We've just lacked that final touch to make us a good team.

If we continue to do badly, it's clear that something is wrong with the management and Souness can move on. But now that we seem to be sorted out a bit, and with a while till our next game, I'm going to give it time.

You can't expect players to instantly gel together. Injuries don't really help either. Personally, I think we need some new physios... :D

I hate it when people are already tipping teams for a bad season from just 4 games.

On the bbc 606 message boards everybody is all doom and gloom!

Same thing is happing at pompey everybody wants the club to splash the cash on players and kick out perrin.

Come on he's only been at pompey for like 12 matchs and we've got nearly a whole new squad!

But not really suprised he has not gone to newcastle. When you want out of a club you can't be that pickey when you going to a premiership club and probley getting paid similar.

I think liverpool will not get him or ever get him again.

Why do Newcastle think they are a big club? When was the last time they won anything? Just look were they finished last season.........

586453891[/snapback]

Newcastle clearly are a big club. A club's size isn't made by it's trophy cabinet. As always, it's the fans that make the club.

Pretty ignorant to think they aren't to be honest.

Yes, Newcastle had a bad finish last season, as well as that season we finished 13th under Sir Bobby. Look at our other final standings and I think you'll see a kind of pattern.

Although admittedly, Liverpool are a bigger club in terms of trophies, they have won more league championships than all other teams, yet I wouldn't call them the biggest club in England.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
