Pep Guardiola said Manchester City pulling level with Arsenal was “not the point” and said his team “have to play better” despite beating West Ham 3-0. City secured an equalisation 3-0 win against the Hammers thanks to two goals from Erling Haaland and a Tijjani Reijnders but Guardiola, in his typical fashion, looked like a manager on the opposite end of that scoreline in his post-match. Speaking to the BBC, Guardiola said the team was “still away” from where he wants them to be. “Some things have been really good, the others no,” he said. “But that’s nice because we…
For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough. Bitcoin relies on cryptographic assumptions that could, one day, be broken by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. If that happens, the thinking goes, the entire system collapses. Wallets could be drained. Property rights could be violated. Trust, the foundation of the protocol, evaporates. As someone who has spent decades working at the intersection of cryptography, maths, and blockchain systems, I understand the anxiety. I’ve had this conversation with researchers like Professor…

Valve announced in a note on its Steam Deck page that it’s “no longer producing the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model,” adding that “once sold out, it will no longer be available.” As of this article’s publishing, the $399 Steam Deck with LCD and 256 GB of storage, which we ranked as the best gaming handheld for most, is out of stock. Even Valve’s refurbished stock of LCD models has been cleared…
After reports that Thiago Silva could return to Chelsea, the Blues have lost out to Porto, where a former Blues boss ‘strongly’ wanted the centre-back. Silva, now 41, is incredibly still performing very well. The Brazilian defender left Chelsea for Fluminense in 2024, in what looked like it might well be his last transfer. But following the conclusion of Silva’s contract in Brazil, with the season there ending of late, it was revealed he’d be returning to Europe, to continue playing this season, with a view to making his nation’s World Cup squad. Our friends at TEAMtalk reported that Silva…
Peugeot is mulling a successor to the 508 estate as it looks to once again expand its line-up into segments besides its current hatchback and crossover offering. The 508, Peugeot’s mid-sized executive offering, was launched in 2010 as a rival to the Volkswagen Passat, Skoda Superb and Volvo S60/V60, and was available as a four-door fastback and a more popular estate. It lasted two generations before being withdrawn from sale in the UK due to slow sales at the end of 2024 – having notched up just 7000 sales in Mk2 form here – and production stopped for good in…
Former Arsenal man Sol Campbell feels Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres is “built for the Premier League” and will be “great” once he gets himself used to the English top flight. Arsenal looked to add the final piece of the puzzle to their side through the signing of Gyokeres. They had finished second in the Premier League in each of the last three seasons but didn’t have an elite No.9 banging in goals. Gyokeres looked the perfect player for them, with a blend of English experience in the second tier where he was impressive with Coventry, and a fantastic body of…

Barcelona are reportedly ‘more inclined’ to sign Marcus Rashford than not after the Manchester United loanee impressed during his loan. Having been deemed surplus to requirements by Ruben Amorim, Rashford headed for Barcelona but the chances of a permanent move seemed unlikely. As part of the deal, Barcelona were given the option of signing the 28-year-old permanently for €30m and a report from Mundo Deportivo suggests that is becoming increasingly likely. The Spanish newspaper says the club’s sporting department is ‘more inclined’ to sign him than let him leave after seven goals and nine assists in 23 games. As for…

Liverpool have been told by former player John Barnes not to attempt sign Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window as focus would be better spent elsewhere. Reports of a £65m release clause which becomes active in January have many clubs looking at the 25-year-old after the best Premier League season of his career to date but the Anfield side are one of the most strongly linked to the Bournemouth player. Semenyo, who will stay with Bournemouth after Ghana failed to qualify for AFCON, has been touted as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah but Barnes believes signing players in…
