Take off Newcastle, simply because they are Newcastle ;)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Agreed. Can't stand the Barcodes.

Totally! I took off Newcaslte and put in Everton. I don't think I will change it anymore. Only thing I will change now is the Top Scorers list...

You may as well make another poll though dude - by changing it all the votes are waaaaaay off now, lol. No one seriously thinks Man City are favourites :D

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has issued the following statement on his club's official website: "Today's public comments by Manchester United's manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is confident that the deal will go through with time working in their favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players. "It is also probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League to date and is unbelievably hypocritical given his recent comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.

"This comes after a series of events, dating back to last summer, which have shown Manchester United to be in breach of Premier League rules.

"As a result, we have today made an official complaint to the Premier League about the conduct of Manchester United.

"Benitez made similar comments in respect of Robbie recently and we made an official complaint to the Premier League about the conduct of Liverpool earlier this week.

"The behaviour of both clubs has been disgraceful. We told both clubs very early on that we had no interest in selling Robbie or Dimitar, respectively, and that they should refrain from pursuing the player.

"Both clubs arrogantly chose to ignore this request and we now have evidence that both clubs have systematically been working to prise the players away from us, outside of Premier League rules of conduct.

"Our subsequent position has been severely compromised by both clubs making their intentions widely known and indeed making contact with the players and their agents, without the club's permission.

"I have absolutely no wish to sell either player and to date we have not accepted any offer for either.

"However, when a player's head is turned and their commitment is absent, particularly when they occupy key positions such as that of striker, they become a negative influence in a team dressing room in which they were once a positive addition and influence.

"This is the situation we now have on our hands, with both Dimitar and Robbie having made it clear that they wish to leave for Manchester Utd and Liverpool respectively.

"Irrespective of the outcome and futures of Robbie and Dimitar, we are continuing to seek to bring in quality, talented players for the future, who want to play in a Spurs shirt."

Roy Keane is also after 3-4 Spurs players.. if all the moves go ahead it will be very interesting almost new Spurs next season

I can't make another poll can I? Or how do I delete this poll and make another one? Shall I just delete the question and then make the question again?

Martins will be an Arsenal player next week.

Newcastle are a championship club.

Even BK cannot help you out.

1)Arsenal

2)Tottenham Hotspur

3)Martins (In an Arsenal shirt).

You have got to be kidding me. Do you even watch footie on saturdays? Just the mild implication that the Mackems are a better team than the Toon, you might get lynched in the Northwest. There are plenty of teams worse than Newcastle in the prem.

I watch it live, if it's Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

Sunderland AFC are a better team than Newcastle Untied.

The chairman of NU wants to sell the club, is anyone willing to pay ?420,000,000 ?

Nah they are worth tuppence-ha'penny.

What has Newcastle United won in the past 50 years ?

Division 2 1993.

F.A.I.R.S. cup 1969.

Texaco Cup 1974,1975.

Anglo-Italian Cup winners 1973.

No F.A. Cups, No Division One tile/Premiership.

How can Newcastle United be a big club when they have one bugger all since 1955, when they beat Manchester City in the F.A. cup final.

You may get 55,000 home gate,but, this is why they should be a championship club, you might enjoy it more winning games and being near the top

rather than near relegation.

Gallas' captaincy was widely criticised last season, with his infamous sit-in protest at Birmingham the target for ridicule.

But Wenger believes Gallas performed admirably in a difficult situation, and hinted the defender will take the armband again this season.

"I think he has done quite well last year for the biggest part of the season," said Wenger. "A lot of responsibility has been given to him when it wasn't right," said Wenger.

Lets see if this really happens... I think this can be a mistake and Gallas is a crybaby and is not captain material at all.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
