For all you football fans out there:

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

I use http://www.101greatgoals.com/ myself

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.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
