It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Premier League televised football packages up for grabs

The Premier League has issued an invitation to tender for the domestic UK broadcast rights for the 2013-14 to 2015-16 football seasons.

It says 154 matches will be shown live on TV each season from 2013-14 - 16 more than currently broadcast and more than 40% of all top-level matches

Scousers booing the national anthem, swearing at kids going to the game etc etc

and still the naive armchair supporters look favourably on those vermin

That will have been the London branch of LFC supporters Joe, don't confuse the blue half of Merseyside with Kopite Gobshites pleeeease! :O)

Well done Chelsea.....I hope for their sake that DD stays on next year.....Carroll looks like a player that can get even better....what a save by the way...and now for that RF trick question time again : what was the name of the first british manager to coach (or manage) a side against a british side in the european cup final ?...

Roy Hodgson is the answer....thanks for all the entries....as there are none ....the chocolate bar gets scoffed by yours truly !......

the irony being that these scousers want gerard as the england captain - the team whose national anthem they love to boo

the armchair fans should pay more attention

Is that right you total muppet, I suppose you prawn sandwich guzzlers would prefer Terry to wear the armband for England, what a great example of morality off the pitch and champion of fair play on it. Dead leg anyone?

great logic -

lets see - shall we go with the fighter (the one of about 10 that got off with a scouse jury !), or the drug cheat etc etc, or someone who once got sent off.

You started it, Nah Nah De Nah Nah.

Anyone know the score of the Liverpool v Chelsea match.....Mr Say?

yep - we won the one that mattered - the murderers won the league game

I would have thought attempting to finish 4th was pretty more realistic, cause lets be honest your dreaming if you seriously think your gonna win the European Cup. Murderers is that the best you can come up with ?

seeing as we're 5 points behind tottenham, the odds certainly do favour a CL win over 4th

That's now, prior to the Liverpool fixture that wasn't the case albeit goal difference was an issue.

well done City - definitely the team that deserved it this season and why, oh why, couldn' Bolton wrap up the perfect ending ?

Missed the games but what a finale......couldn't have written the script better....well done ManCity....time Uefa made exceptions to the rule so that a fith team can enter the champions league if Chelsea win......we had that with Everton a few years ago....rule should apply to all nations of course and only if a finalist winner hasn't qualified for the champions league for the following season.....so most seasons just four would be entered....

Had a weird dream the night before last....it was halftime and Juventus were either 4-nil up or they were four nil down...and it was snowing.....bizarre....

Barton well deserved the punishment in the end but how comes the assistant ref did not see Tevez land the first blow - and get away with it - only mentioned once in commentry

Dalglish gone http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18073446

Good day to bury news- good and bad depending on your viewpoint.
