I believe it's going to be the next big thing online when it comes to soccer once it comes out of beta. It has fantastic highlights for every game. They usually rip MOTD highlights and post it to numerous video sites.

Been using it for almost 2 years :p

Next time I'm gonna check which one is faster with uploading new videos :p

EDIT: I see footytube only has videos of the bigger clubs ? :huh: Only saw Barca and Real games under La Liga

Theres 2 links for neowin clubs in the gamer's hanngout. on the first page

xD

Newcastle are a self-proclaimed big club. Amusing and slightly strange they have fallen from grace after they where challenging for titles in the late 90's.

As for top scorer, I am tempted to place a bet on Stevie G, he's only 2 goals behind anelka now and arguably in far better form at the moment. As a liverpool fan, also amusing to see United feel the pressure. Having said that, even if we don't take the title the 4-1 win at old trafford will keep me smiling till the end of the season

Ha ha, well you can tell the poll creater is an Arsenal fan seeing as he chose Fabregas over Anelka to be in the top scorers list ;)

Ahh makes sense. How long ago was the poll created. I mean, we would have to be put into it if it was half recent.

snippp snip

Most of the fans know were not a big club anymore, but for some reason, players and especially the media seem to think we still believe it. I would say we used to be a 'self proclaimed big club', but not anymore. Reality has definately set in with the majority of fans.

Stevie G on the other hand, is obviously guna bag another few goals from now till the end of the season. I bet youd get decent odds for him to land top scorer, bookies dont usually think about midfielders in the mix.

Probably doesn't help that you haven't really been able to keep up with the spending of the bigger clubs. Sadly money does a lot of the talking in football nowadays.

Wow scratch that about the Stevie G bet.

Bet365 have him as 3rd Fav. 5/2s

I still feel hes got a chance as good as any. He is already level with Ronaldo, and he is on just as good scoring form than him, and I feel Anelka's gonna tail off. I'd still place the bet, everything Stevie touches is turning to gold at the moment.

Yeah unfortunatly. I think we did keep up, with Freddie Shepard at the helm we spent just as big as most clubs... but look at who we bought:

Owen - 16 mill? - injured most of the time, but when hes fit hes worth it

Luque - 9.5mill - He played a handful of games, I liked him, but the managers hated him. Went to Ajax for free :o

Duff - 5mill - Awful. I dont rate him at all, hes totally lost it.

Boumsong - 8mill! - Shocking!

Martins - 10mill - Inconsistant

I could probably go on! Thats the worst part!

Its not about the spending, its about who you buy. Liverpool is case in point. Torres, Kuyt and Macherano! Quality buys all round.

Yep you certainly got a point there as well. Suppose it doesn't help that its a bit harder to attract the big names to the smaller clubs than it used to be. It would be a shame in a way to see Newcastle get relegated from the prem, just look at how badly leeds fell from grace when it happened to them.

Yeah. Thats the problem. Alot of the teams around us are guna be ok (more or less), if they get relegated. Alot of their squads will stay pretty much the same. But ours? Hell no. Most of our players will be away. I cant see Owen and Martins in the championship.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
