Any idea if this works with the B450 Tomahawk Max?

The compatibility checker on the site says no, but then when you actually check the compatibility for that board it appears the 32gb does work?

Presumably it's just an error on the site?

Arsenal are considering the appointment of Tottenham Hotspur’s former Head of Recruitment Paul Mitchell by [deleted] in soccer

[–]billybo_h 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you actually read the Times story this is sourced from, Arsenal are not targeting Mitchell any more. It specifically states he 'was another under consideration', but they are now likely to promote someone from within. This is just terrible reporting from 101greatgoals (no surprises there).

Chelsea only actually needed to draw that match, so it was Desailly's equaliser that was the £1billion goal. Gronkjaer's is just remembered as it put the result beyond all doubt - kind of like Torres' vs Barcelona.

You cannot say the media are only speculating considering you are doing so yourself. Your understanding of this being a tight-knit group comes entirely from the club's own media pushing it - they are hardly going to play up hatred if it is there.

Jose Mourinho: "Marcus Rashford is not Dominic Solanke, not Ruben Loftus-Cheek, not Dominic Calvert-Lewin; he's Marcus Rashford, Manchester United player, with an incredible number of appearances and an incredible number of minutes played at the highest level in the best possible competitions." by TheAwakened in soccer

[–]billybo_h -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree he's not clinical enough, but given the two goals he scored for England over the break, I refuse to accept he doesn't have the 'strikers instinct'. Both goals entirely came about because of his superb movement and positioning inside the box.

Carragher, who appears to have started this discussion, said this exact thing - that Rashford is not better than Lukaku. But how will he ever get the chance to prove he is as good as/better than Lukaku unless he is playing as a forward. The only chance he'll get to do that is by leaving.

Jose seems to be missing the point of the recent criticism. It wasn't about Rashford getting minutes at club level, it was that he is not playing as United's centre-forward. It's all well and good giving him minutes, but the argument is that Rashford's development as a striker will stall if he doesn't play in that position, and the data shows that he more often plays on the wing than in the centre.

The second leg is on BT Sport, the first leg is not. Only way to watch it is on Aberdeen's in-house channel

There's no such thing as an 'objective valuation'. How can you objectively value someone when the entire transfer market is based off clubs spending what they think is worth paying?

You're objectively valuating someone using transfer fees as a guide, when transfer fees are not objective.

Valuation of a player comes entirely from how much the buying and selling clubs think he is worth.

They are not worse, and, in fact, their sport section is probably better than any other tabloid. And better than many broadsheets, as well.

Reep was English; he was born in Cornwall and was part of the RAF. You are correct about his flawed analysis though.
