Totally agree neobond, every single premier league fan is disturbed by these money hungry suits we know as the Premier League's governors. English football has already suffered a couple of huge blows (eg Euro '08) this is not our savior.

I think an exclusive league must be set up instead.

We have the Ufea and champs leagues. Why not make another one which tours the world instead. Each country will be represented with 2 teams. They must fit within certain criteria, such as they will be excluded from FA cup or other european cups.

The current 39th game will also make the english people look even bigger bastards. You'd have france, germany, spain and italy complaining about us playing in other countries. It's unfair on everybody, at least with my idea teams can become bigger and compete with other leagues for quality. The only problem it would cause is a bigger gap between the lower leagues and lower side teams like Brum and Derby.

As an Irishman living in Singapore (one of the proposed cities to host a game or two), I am definitely against the idea of the 39th game. The league is based on 20 teams playing each other home and away to determine the league position. While one can moan over individual games, the ref robbed us etc, it does balance out over the season and where you finish is representative of your performance. Adding a 39th game totally unbalances this. With the top 5 seeded so as to avoid each other ... imagine your team had escaped relegation by a single point after 38 games, but then you are drawn to play the likes of Arsenal, ManU, Chelsea or Pool. And the team below you, through the luck of the draw, plays their extra game against the team bottom of the table? Not exactly fair is it?

The whole idea is crazy, and Metallithrax, i agree with you too, this is the first time I'm ever agreeing with Blatter on anything!

Thats exactly the point. 20 teams, home and away. That's how it's always been and how it should stay.

The premier league is BRITISH, and it should stay on BRITISH soil. You dont see Serie A playing games over here after all.

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.

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.

      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.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
