Hm.. considerably odd that Villa, Everton and City are being picked as a better chance of taking the crown than United, the Pool or even Chelsea.

Seems I would put my money on any of those 3 than Arsenal.

There lack of maturity, might finally be gone this season but without some real back bone in midfield, they won't have much steam for the length of the whole season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has given a positive update on the fitness of Eduardo da Silva and Tomas Rosicky.

"The situation is positive for both players," said Wenger. "We believe Tomas could be available in September and Eduardo maybe in November.

"Also it was good for them to be back in this kind of atmosphere. The players enjoy a day like that."

Well I am back from my holiday, anyone miss me :D?

Something's fishy about the poll results. Obiously Arsenal leading it is correct (:p), but everton and man city over Liverpool and Man Utd? And 0 votes for chelsea? Hah!

I'm pretty sure Crazysah swapped some of the teams on the poll, and they already had votes so it has well and truly been messed up.

I declare a new thread created by Martyn!

No point really, considering the length of this one. Now if you were voting for me to become supreme ruler of the Universe...

;)

Welcome back Martyn.. hope u had a nice time on vacations :p

Cheers mate. Just back in time for the start of the football!

Soooo... what an opening day so far :p

Arsenal won and Spurs lost!! :D Doesn't get much better than that for a Gooner ;)

Arsenal again didn't kill the game when they got their chances.. on another day they could've been punished... but its the first day.. and considering there was no Cesc, Rosicky, Toure (did not start) and Eduardo.. the young guns held on for a win like all champs do.. with such a weak bench and a weakened team.. great team effort!!

Nasri showed some superb skills and Adebayor needs to work on his passing game :p

Boro were very impressive and controlled the game..

I won't comment on the losing teams.. other than that Stoke might go down and I think Tigers will stay up..

Lets see what the Reds do.. :)

Liverpool played crap, but we won and got three points so I am happy.

Fernando Torres Liverpool's Number Nine...

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA!!

i missed it cause of a wedding (saw some of it) and wow they played like crap from what i saw, but at least el nino came through

Arsenal played like they should play. They played nice football and won. That's how it is done. Thanks Sam Nasri!

@ MOD: Can you unpiun the other thread and pin this one?

PM a mod it will be easier as some may not read the thread.

Martyn - Yeah I know I was shocked fatboy Ashton scored! twice! but I won't get excited about it.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
