Thatcher shouldn't havre done what he did. Mendes is now injured and may have long-term injuries. Poor Mendes.

Well Thatcher should pay Mendes's wages till he recovers.

Thatcher busted a players jaw on tour also.

I can't believe the FA haven't got the balls to deal with him without using the lame excuse about the referee gave him a card which was yellow already.

If Gallagher (ref) did not see the actions of Thatcher he too should be banned and have an eye test.

On tour he caused a chinese player a punctured lung. Jeez how do you do that?

Its good to see that despite City having a tough game this weekend, that they have took the action to suspend Thatcher whilst investigation takes place.

Now if only the FA have the balls to do something themselves then maybe some justice will actually come from this.

Im a big UTD fan but still have to give city credit for taking action. :yes:

Lets hope all this weekends games are clean and that we can talk about some great goals, and not another horror tackle taking place.

Agree it was a terrible tackle, and he should pay, but were all the United fans saying the samething about Keane's tackle on Alf Ing Haarland ? That was premeditated where I am sure Thatcher's was just a spur of the moment thing and he only meant to push him out of the way

That was a horrible tackle! Ben shouldnt be aloud to play football again after that.

On tour he caused a chinese player a punctured lung. Jeez how do you do that?

Hahaha! How is that even possible? That's crazy.

Yeah, it was a brutal challenge. You could see how he carried on after the ball had been cleared.

I think he meant to get him hard, to kind of scare Mendes out of future tackles, which is nothing new in football. But he took it too far.

Aston Villa continues to impress with their unbeaten run. Newcastle didn't have a great day. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United won their games, no shocks here. Arsenal's loss is a shocker. Loosing to Manchester City won't help the teams confidence. Spurs too had a bad game against Everton.

The next gameweek's highlights are Arsenal v M'brough. Though an away game, Boro would love to shock Arsenal at the new Emirates stadia, Boro had that morale boosting win against Chelsea and Arsenal lost the game against ManC, so this game will be an entertaining one. Then we have Man Utd v Tot'ham. I expect United to win this one, though this will be a difficult one to win among the previous 3 games i think.

Glad to see aston villa doing pretty well now. sorta happy that arsenal aren't doing so great!

Aston Villa look to get Petrov from Celtic for 7m. I'm pretty anoyed at this as pompey have wanted him for some time now, and then aston villa comes in and they get him. Same think happend with Anelka going to Bolton. It just seems some clubs don't want to deal with portsmouth even thou now Portsmouth have money and differnt people in power they dont want to know.

And glen jonhson is now got an ankle problem and will miss out on tonite match

Ben Thatcher could return to action within a month after Manchester City imposed a six-match ban for his horrific challenge on Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes, two of which are suspended.

Meanwhile quite a lot happening at the transfer window:

Portsmouth sign striker Andrew Cole from Manchester City in a two-year deal.(Is Shibby happy now? :p )

Argentina striker Carlos Tevez says he and team-mate Javier Mascherano have agreed to sign for West Ham.

Woodgate & ?6m Huth sign for Boro

Portsmouth have signed veteran striker Andy Cole from Manchester City on a two-year contract. (Maybe Shibby is more happier now?:pp)

Manchester United have loaned Italian youngster Giuseppe Rossi to Newcastle.

Manchester United are not expected to make any new signings before the transfer window closes tomorrow after Sir Alex Ferguson effectively conceded defeat in his attempts to sign Owen Hargreaves.

Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has finally won the battle to sign Celtic midfielder Stilian Petrov who has joined the midlands club in an ?8million deal.

Mascherano and Tevez are two great players. I am particularly impressed with Mascherano, he guard's his defence very well.

Lucky West Ham if they get them, but I can smell Chelsea's hand in this as Roman's bitch own's MSI (who also own Tevez and Mascherano). I think Chelsea just want both player's to play in London for a year and gain experience in the Premiership, before they join Chelsea.

Is Cole going to move to Chelsea? Is Gallas moving out of Chelsea? Whats going to happen in the last few hours of the transfer market?

Cole will be staying at Arsenal until Christmas I think, I'm surprised Tevez went to West Ham though. I'd have liked to see him at Arsenal or a slightly larger club. Lets just hope the Argentinians can stay on their feet in the premiership and don't want to move abroad after one season.

Reyes still wants a move to Real Madrid, I'd like to see him stay in the Premiership but I read in the paper that Julio Baptista could be making his way to Arsenal on loan which would help them out a lot at the moment.

Tevez and Mascherano have signed for West Ham on permanant deal's for an undisclosed fee.

To be honest, there is no way in hell that West Ham could afford either of those player's as they would cost more than ?50 million combined. It look's like many of us were wrong about Chelsea having something to do with this, seeing as the deal's are loan deal's. I remmber last year MSI were linked to a takeover or West Ham, so maybe that could have something to do with it?

Amazing coup for West Ham though, I genuinely like West Ham as a football club so I would much rather Tevez and Mascherano sign for them than say Chelsea or Manure.

Reyes still wants a move to Real Madrid, I'd like to see him stay in the Premiership but I read in the paper that Julio Baptista could be making his way to Arsenal on loan which would help them out a lot at the moment.

ding ding!

Arsenal swap Reyes for Baptista

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...nal/5290366.stm

ARSENAL: The first edition of The Sun has arrived at 2230 and it claims that Arsenal have accepted a deal of ?5m plus William Gallas for Ashley Cole from Chelsea. Elsewhere, the Gunners have agreed a swap deal which will see Jose Antonio Reyes heading to Real Madrid, and Julio Baptista coming the other way. It's a loan deal for one season, with an option to buy next summer. Meanwhile, one defender looks to be off - Villarreal have agreed a ?2m fee for Pascal Cygan (2152).

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
